LOL.  Your credibility (or more accurately, lack thereof) has nothing to do with Sowell and everything to do with your statements that are frequently unsupported by factual evidence.

So in this discussion you've gone from stating it happened, to saying you don't know if it happened and now to a "vague idea" that some states may have tried to make it happen.  Why would anyone still be enforcing it now after non-essential stores have been allowed to re-open?

Have you already forgotten what the thread is all about?  The discussion was about the rich getting richer during the pandemic.
The partial shutdown of Walmart, Target, etc. was a great idea.  Why should corporate giants be allowed to prosper while the lesser suffer?  All jurisdictions that required stores selling non-essential merchandise to temporarily close, should have prevented other stores from selling similar items during the same time period.  If the furniture store can't open, then Walmart shouldn't be allowed to sell furniture, simply because they also sell groceries.

Your last paragraph is solid truth. Here at my local walmart, the only store of its kind in my county, there were several areas blocked off to consumers due to being considered nonessential. One example is seeds for gardens being blocked for purchase raised the alarm for annual gardeners and had people trying to start gardens in panic mode because they couldn't find produce in the stores. Forget about riots over blm, people here were going to riot because they couldn't buy seeds and other essential items.
