In the writers view

Across the country and around the world many businesses are struggling to stay afloat that offer needed services and products to our citizens. Many of these stores are currently closed because they are not essential.

Some of these businesses that are not allowed to physically be open in Pennsylvania are: Construction, Much of the Manufacturing has been effected, Auto Dealerships. Apparel, Furniture & Home Furnishings, Shoe stores, Jewelry, Sporting, Hobby, Book, Music, Florists, Attorney’s & Legal. Even Financial and Real Estate, Schools and Religious buildings.

But with all of the things that are closed one type of store is still going strong and these are the Adult Novelty Shops. At least in the Philadelphia region on Passyunk Ave. You can buy your Adult toys and XXX rated videos. Do you think these stores that are historically known for allowing sex to go on in their back rooms and peep show areas are really following any of the CDC guidelines? Do you think they are even making people to social distance?

When did it become essential to have devices and material to sexually pleasure yourself and others but buying a new pair of shoes or pants, going to the dentist become nonessential?

As always these stores get away with breaking laws and getting special treatment and our government and politicians are the ones to blame. They repeatedly broken rules since and before the HIV Epidemic and continue through the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic.

With all of the news and media reporting the same exact news everyday lines at the food stores and the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Why do they not also report the real facts that are going on like these stores being allowed to stay open to spread the decease and pro long this pandemic.
