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.

Can you name the places and dates where these Walmarts were partially shut down?  Yes, in Vermont all Walmart, Cosco, etc non-essential areas were shut down March 23rd - May 18th.  Americus already told you about the stores in North Carolina.  Do you need to know about other states as well?

Can you tell us if they're still partially shut down, and if not, why?  No, of course not.  They all re-opened when other stores selling exclusively non-essential merchandise were allowed to re-open.
Or are your ideas of this also vague?  I never represent as fact anything about which I am uncertain.  

Those questions are rhetorical. Don't answer them.  Oops, too late.
I agree it's only fair to try to prevent Walmart for selling furniture, if furniture stores are shut down. I never disagreed.   LOL.  You absolutely disagreed.  Here's the quote from your own post on the 27th "Do you think this partial shutdown of walmart is a good idea that should be done throughout the US? I don't."   That's not what you're trying to discuss though. You're trying to discuss me, and regardless of if I want to hear that or not, no one else does.  Just trying to help you climb out of a negative rating.  Friendly advice.....if you want to be taken seriously, stop contradicting yourself, be less argumentative and don't express your opinion or a vague recollection as fact.

My work here is done.  Sneakers out.
