I'm waiting for the loss in sales and income tax by local municipalities to come up, the local city is in hock up to their eyeballs already. The incentives being paid out are not taxable.

I got out today because I had a few errands, including getting my state inspection for my car but it turns out I don't need it this time. New law apparently I forgot about. Anyway by any measure our state/city "lock-down" isn't anything of the sort. Lots of people and vehicles out and about, stores seem quite busy, and the are back to working on my main access road, widening it to 5 lanes apparently, was just two lanes with ditches on each side. I'm sure our city is missing some revenue in sales tax, but at least we haven't totally shit all over our economy.
