New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo held his position on keeping non-essential businesses closed in the state and argued that economic hardships are not “worse than death.”The Democrat governor dismissed complaints by New Yorkers wanting to get back to work and dealing with a trove of emotional and physical issues brought about by lost income and lockdowns, telling a reporter in a news briefing that people should get a job as an essential worker.(Video) In a lengthy exchange with Cuomo during his daily press briefing on Wednesday, WRGB reporter Anne McCloy attempted to plead the case for protesters

What do you tell Fredo-do you consider his job to be essential? Essentially, he is a LIAR.

Essential job: government worker. Bureaucrat is best. No furloughs, federal bailouts for pay, do nothing all day every day for years as if you were locked down. And you get to boss people around for fun and profit.

Implicit in his reply is that the most essential jobs are in government. That has to end. There need to be massive layoffs in government at all levels. Roll back salaries, benefits, and their reason for being, their gold-plated pensions! The rest of us have been turned into slaves for the amusement, enjoyment, and plush living and retirement of government bureaucrats (some with multiple government pensions).
Let the government layoffs begin! Bigly.

Uh, fredo, their jobs are essentially, you have just arbitrarily said they are not.
I think you just had your “let them eat designer ice cream” moment.

The guy’s an idiot. First he says that if a person goes back to work he might get Covid and infect someone else who might die so that’s too risky.
Then he says get an essential job. Are those people immune from getting Covid? Wouldn’t that person be just as liable to pass on Covid?

Gov Cuomo thinks he is essential - I think not! Sorry Andrew. If smart, NYC residents would move to another state and let the NYC dirt and liberal politics behind for good.

Politicians like Cuomo are proving, again and again, that their jobs are not only inessential, they are prohibitive.
I suggest permanently removing them at the earliest opportunity.

Sounds like Duh Gov needs to experience a little personal economic devastation himself, just to walk in another man’s shoes, if for nothing else.

If everyone got an essential job everyone would go to work and there would be no shut down. Perhaps, we should decree that all jobs are essential.

I guess he hasn't heard of all the "essential" health care workers who have been laid off because they have no patients. One of my neighbors is a physician's assistant and she is out of work now.
Get an essential job? I'd say the same to you, putz.

Well, you'd think health care workers as an "essential worker."
Tell that to all the healthcare workers getting laid off by hospital systems because they aren't admitting "non-COVID-19" patients (ie, elective surgery, etc.). Or the folks that work in doctors offices because there are fewer patients going to the doctor because they don't want to risk infection/social distancing.
I guess being a fetch-it boy/girl/person of indeterminate gender for Commissar and Governor for Life Andy Cuomo and the basement door opener for his doofus brother Fredo the jerk are considered essential workers.

The future is in janitorial service, right Andy? We need more doorknob polishers. Keep those shelves clean. All for a minimum wage. Is this the new normal, Andy? Cuomo just failed at jumping the shark. New York will become unlivable under Cuomo. Even more so than it already is.

The leftist and liberal Democrats and their media minions are all doom and gloom as they go about fraudulently blaming President Trump for the importation of the Chinese corona virus into the USA. Even though Trump shut down all air travel from China in January. However Trump had no legal authority to stop US citizens returning from China, and thousands of those US citizens had to be allowed to re-enter the USA.
They are also blaming Trump for not having the complex testing equipment and chemical reactants immediately available to run specific medical tests for all 330 million Americans to diagnose a very contagious virus of foreign origin that nobody, including US medical scientists, knew existed more then three months or so ago, disregarding the fact that such tests have had to be bio engineered, manufactured, and distributed across the country with innumerable medical personnel having to be trained to run and analyze those specific tests. In that respect the Democrats and their media allies are completely disregarding the fact that when the Obama-Biden crew left office that they allowed the National Medical Emergency Stockpile of personal protective equipment PPE’s to remain depleted, having used that medical equipment during previous epidemics without replenishing those stockpiles.
Now Fox News is budding in claiming that polls are showing that Joseph Biden, clearly an old man with declining cognitive abilities, who has been clearly showing that he does not have the mental capacity to perform the job of President, as an example would you want Biden to be in charge of the US Strategic Nuclear Arsenal, is leading Trump in so-called battleground States by as much as ten points in the coming Presidential election. So either Fox News believes that their audiences these days are completely stupid, or are attempting to gin up controversy believing that will boost their ratings. We will see!

We need term limits. Our lawmakers, governors, and others see themselves ONLY as essential. So they have a cushy income stream and sit back and tell us it's too bad we aren't working. So we must do what THEY deem "essential." I've been concerned that this country could become a dictatorship. I just never thought we would be dangerously close in 2020. We are living in very dangerous times. Believe me, these thug governors and mayors who want to deploy drones to monitor our distance from each other or our temperature are salivating over the power this will give them. And once implemented, we won't be able to roll it back. Orwell is rolling over in his grave. And as far as I am concerned, Pelosi has revealed her true ugliness when she flashed her fancy expensive ice cream on national television. How she sleeps at night when many in her city are homeless I will never understand unless she has some very expensive drugs to knock her out.

Essential Job? Ok, I'll take yours, you have done a poor job and I could learn your job n under 3 hours.
It must pay nice, you dress in expensive Cloths...does it come with living in a mansion, a free Limo and Driver. And, what about eats, do I get Ice Cream like Botox Nancy? Do I have to be nasty to everyone or is it just to Pres. Trump?

Gov Cuomo is wealthy and well fed, and don't work very hard, is not intelligent, and got his job because his daddy had it. Sorry, but all that is not very indicative of any empathy or understanding of people that work paycheck to paycheck, or those that have invested all their savings in their businesses. No, I wouldn't look to Cuomo for being the lead, more for him to shut up and stay out of it, letting him run his own life--if he is capable of it.

He should know. He can tell that to all the people in NY that died because of his policies concerning the use of the anti malaria drug as well as sending infected seniors back to nursing homes to die. He would not allow doctors to treat their patients with the anti malaria drug. The only way they would get this drug is when they were admitted to the hospital that proves it was too late. Then I recently read that the NY hospitals were sending very ill seniors back to the nursing homes to die. What the hell is going on in that state??????

Gov, why don’t you sacrifice something like giving up your salary, perks, and TV appearances? Then, try to file for unemployment compensation. Just talked to someone this morning who has tried to file for 5 weeks and still can’t get through.

You would think this awful man would be a good candidate to run against if you were the Republican party, but that party is so full of lazy cowards they just give up, whining about the 2 to 1 voter registration in the state. Well, maybe if they left Westchester county and campaigned once in a while, they might win. Start off with something simple like, register and vote, you don't get called for jury duty because you vote in elections. Only in Ohio and Wyoming. Then remind the morons who don't bother to vote that this sack of fertilizer would have LOST the last 2 times he ran if the residents outside of NYC had voted. Not everyone in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany is a rat. I've never seen a NY state Republican effort that amounted to anything, ever.
