Draggingtree Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Texas Tribune Analysis: What makes a business essential depends on where you sit BY ROSS RAMSEY Nonessential businesses in Texas (and elsewhere) have been told to close — a measure intended to increase social distance and to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. But every business is essential to someone. An essential business, by one definition, is one that society cannot operate without. It’s essential to all or most of us. That calls some obvious examples to mind: Hospitals, medical practices, police and fire and other first responders, grocery stores and utilities. You get the idea. By another definition, it’s almost any business with a payroll, one that’s essential to the people it employs and who depend on their paychecks for food, shelter, clothing and everything else they need.
