Our company has been shut down for 3 weeks so far, thanks to the retarded Dem governor of PA. Still waiting on unemployment to respond to my claim, things are looking very bleak at the moment

Re: are you in the construction business?
Residential home contractor here in Washington state.


All work has stopped. I'm having to dip into my savings to

keep paying our bond/insurance etc... plus, I've given some

of my own money to employees to keep them afloat.


Governor "dipshit" Inslee is hell bent on bankrupting this

state. He has shut us independents down but to this date

has deemed the union construction jobs as "necessary", for

example, the open ended budget the dipshits in this state

voted for, Sound Transit. I could spend an hour on that

sore subject. Funny, he favors union jobs because the

unions here are Democrat constituencies.


As far as me, I've been on full 'improving my property'

mode. Built a storage facility, tearing down and

replacing my back deck. Been forming up for sidewalks

through my property. I was going to have my crew re-roof

the house, but roofing supply can't sell to me right

now.


Dipshit won't give a clear answer to when this shutdown is

going to stop. Some time in May....


Have to add, dipshit has threatened to take my licence

away if I continue to build.
 Quoting: Johnny Moonlight


Theres alot of construction going on were the employers are not supplying ppe or cleaning supplies. people calling in sick and allowed back next day or two
The lack of concern for employees health among these small business is whats causing them to close

West Virginia just announced they wouldn't be selling to out of state residents either. Everyone from PA was crossing the border and buying up all the stock.

Commercial interior contractor in Va.

GC's will not stop big jobs, contractually we cannot stop until the govt issues stop work orders.

I got an email from a project in fri morning saying the hospital would give us masks to get to our floor, that afternoon received another saying they changed their minds and we had to supply our own. Not shocking considering there aren't any.

Guess we will have to make our own.
