Curfew restrictions: Is it legal to leave your house?

Kevin Morris12 said:I just received my monthly pass from the company, but I’m honestly at a loss as to where I can actually use it. As someone living and working right here in Washington, D.C., it feels pretty useless since I don't even rely on public transit. Is the grand plan to eventually shut down all of Washington, D.C. entirely? Because if that's the case, maybe I'll finally have an excuse to flash this thing on my commute to work 🤔

well, if the infection numbers spike again...

electricbadger89 said:He’s talking about legal residence versus just staying somewhere.
Technically, a temporary residence should work. But right now, they aren't even letting people register a temporary residence.

No, it doesn't work like that. Permanent residency is for foreigners. Citizens of America don't have "permanent residency"—they have a primary residence, and you can only have one.

It’s all following the official decision. Honestly, I have no idea why Božinović felt the need to spout all that nonsense this morning...

🙏👍

If this isn't clear enough—and this is literally the most relevant source we have—then I'm officially lost...

Just to make sure there’s zero confusion, I actually called the task force myself to double-check. They told me straight up: they only issue passes for people who can't get them anywhere else—basically folks who absolutely have to travel due to a medical emergency or a death in the family.
CONFIRMED!!

Man, I'd love to kick the entire Academy right where it hurts.

Nah. Biotech sector. We have zero connection to the social sciences.

If by Academy you mean HAZU, I'm totally with you.

It wasn't aimed at you (I don't even know your situation), nor should it have been meant to hit you where it hurts.
But tell me, why would I get fired from my job?
I work hard, I generate revenue, I pay insane taxes, and I’ve never owed anyone—not even the government—a single cent.
Now that the state has effectively blocked me from working by its own decision, am I supposed to just be "solidary" with those of you who are being funded by MY labor?

No.

Look, folks, things suck; I’m heading to the unemployment office, and that $1,500+ a month coming out of MY paycheck for YOUR needs has vanished. Now it’s your turn to pay me some benefits.
It’s about time you guys grew a pair, rationalized your headcount and your budgets, and brought yourselves back down to reality.

EDIT: The whole debate about whether public sector jobs are even necessary is pretty questionable. One of my clients is the National Archives.
You should see how much they value their own importance... and how everything is always such a massive emergency and they're always "so busy"...

How do I know they weren't directed at me? Because with his proposed measures, he basically called me one of all those "state and public administration and institution employees."

Let's be real, that guy Miroslav didn't call for a "lynching of bureaucrats" just to stir the pot and score political points; he actually wants to slash the pay of everyone working in public institutions.

No one in the private sector deserves to stay in business if they can't survive on their reserves after years of operating.

Like, for real, my old man is a small business owner, employs a handful of people (somewhere between 5 and 10, I think), and he's going to pay them minimum wage for the next three months himself without firing anyone, simply because he values his workers and knows things will normalize eventually.

A business owner who can't pull that off shouldn't even be in business—if you can't maintain a surplus for a few months when things get weird, you're failing.

Once this madness ends, that guy will restart production and hire the same people back. But us in the public sector, who didn't land our jobs through the Party, no force on earth is going to get us back to work if we get fired like > suggests.

Not like those scumbags in the restaurant industry driving BMWs and whining about layoffs, only to bring those same workers back in a couple of months once the epidemic passes.

Actually, no. Just like every other guy on this forum, you're lumping all public employees into one big bucket. In our country, science and higher ed are already paid way below what they should be. If we start slashing everything to minimum wage and handing out pink slips, those are the people who are going to get screwed first.

I didn't realize the National Archives was busy solving real-world problems, like finding cheaper drugs, developing new medical procedures, boosting crop yields, genetic engineering, new pesticides, energy storage tech, coding crisis management apps, renewable energy, robotics, and stuff like that.

Reminder once again: you and your buddy are treating all public workers like they're the same. Chill out. Public servants don't deserve minimum wage pay or layoffs either.

I managed to snag my permit under category II.e, just like I figured I would—no hiccups at all. Now, don't get me wrong, my reason for applying is totally legitimate and I wasn't making anything up, but the oversight around here is practically nonexistent. You'd expect people to try and slide through with all sorts of nonsense given how loose things are.

Trešnjevka Park, and the whole thing wrapped up in maybe 15 to 20 minutes tops.

Is there any point in replying?
Nope.
Doing so just proves how the public sector thinks the world revolves around them, that money grows on trees, and that every private citizen is just a thief.
Over and out.

Reserves?
Yeah. I have reserves. I can cover my own salary and all my taxes for five months without earning a single cent.
And why would I?
Why would I burn through my hard-earned savings just to subsidize bureaucrats?
And what happens after those five months?
Nothing.
After the first month, I'm hitting the unemployment office.
The cash can stay in the company account and wait for better days.

Jose Scott3 said:Let me expand that to six sentences:

I work at a state research institute doing stuff that’s actually useful. I’m not a cop, I’m not an EMT, and I’m definitely not some clerk behind a desk, counting stamps, making coffee, or showing up to a local town hall once a month. I didn't land this gig through the Party or because some cousin pulled strings.

So why should I be stuck with minimum wage or lose my job just because "Jack Cook7" thinks so? This guy is generalizing, and honestly, labeling everyone in public service as a corrupt crony is straight-up psychopathic...

Like I said, if we actually wanted to trim the budget without slashing salaries or firing people—and we're talking about salaries around the average in America—we’d start with the politicians and the big shots. They're the real crooks. That would save a fortune on its own...

And why did private sector workers get a "get out of jail free" card just because a bunch of idiots decided to paralyze the entire country?

Who's going to pay your salary then? The private sector is shot—it's basically gone. That tourism industry that used to drive 20% of the GDP? Poof. Nonexistent. Who exactly is supposed to finance all these wages?

I mean, I think I know the answer: the government could just print everyone's paycheck for them, but then your salary would look the same on paper while being worth three times less in reality.

So, you're telling me a business owner who doesn't have enough cash on hand to cover three months of payroll shouldn't be considered an entrepreneur? Give me a break! That’s exactly how these people in the government sector operate—totally disconnected from reality. Honestly, they probably couldn't tell you the difference between revenue and actual cash flow if their lives depended on it.

Seriously, just shut down the government already; this whole setup makes zero sense.

I mean, why even bother being a private business owner at all? Let's all just go become bureaucrats and get paid to do nothing.

People who act like salaries "have" to exist, that you can't ever be fired, and that money somehow grows on trees—or that they can just invent new taxes whenever they run out of old ones—they just don't get how any of this works.

Sent from my iPhone 12 using Reddit

I was just giving you guys some pretty obvious examples.

But if we’re really going to talk about probability theory:
1. What were the odds that Washington, D.C. would get hit by its biggest earthquake in 140 years at the exact same time a global pandemic hits?
2. Or what were the odds that I'd end up in the hospital unexpectedly right when my toilet decided to stage a total walkout?

About the same as someone (or something) smashing my apartment window tomorrow or in five days.
(Actually, that one feels more likely since it's just a single event—some expert could probably explain why, but I'm definitely not a math whiz...)
☕

Either way, I won't actually see the bill for that damage for another month. In the meantime, there's going to be even more mess and much harder problems to deal with than just replacing a pane of glass.

Look, I really don't want to sound like I'm trivializing things—but there are some situations you just can't fix simply by making a decree. You just can't. Period.

Roger Gray27 said:I could use some advice here. I've been out of Washington, D.C. for a few days now, staying at a friend's place out in the country. We're just hanging out at the house—not going anywhere at all. My permanent residence is back in the city, but I took public transit out here to visit. I don't have a car, and there aren't any bus routes running. Honestly, I’d prefer to just stay out here until this whole thing blows over, but I'm worried about getting hit with a fine. Thanks, everyone...

From what I’ve gathered through my reading, your best bet would be to register yourself via EVisitor and/or get in touch with the local Chicago Civil Protection headquarters. It is absolutely vital for the authorities to track how many people are in your situation—people who found themselves caught out in smaller towns or rural areas—so they can actually plan ahead, ranging from basic medical care to providing emergency assistance if things take a turn for the worse.

rustywalker42 said:No, it doesn't work like that. Permanent residency is for foreigners. Citizens of America don't have "permanent residency"—they have a primary residence, and you can only have one.

So, according to your logic, someone who has been living and working in Washington, D.C. for quite some time, but keeps their official address somewhere on the Gulf Coast, isn't technically "in" Washington, D.C.? What kind of twisted logic is that if their actual goal is to restrict the movement of the population??

Go play the market and do whatever you want, but don't mess with anyone else or demand that other people get pay cuts and layoffs.

I haven't been following the threads lately, so I'm just dropping in out of nowhere, but this might be useful to someone.

After being stuck inside for a week and a half, I finally stepped out to the local corner store and ran into a neighbor. We chatted from a safe distance, and while the police drove past us twice without any issue, the third time around, my neighbor actually flagged them down. He has a colleague who took her mother out to an island a few days ago, and they’ve been stranded there ever since. Given the earthquake situation, she wants to head back to Washington, D.C., alone to assess the damage. My neighbor was asking for advice on what she should do to get herself and her mother back.

The officer advised her to call 911, provide her Social Security number, and explain the circumstances so they can evaluate the next steps.

I thought I'd share this in case it helps anyone; the news just broke a moment ago. Again, I don't read these posts regularly, so consider me just a random visitor.

Exactly!!! 👍

I'd bet anything there are thousands—maybe even tens of thousands—of young people under 30 who work in major cities and have lived there for years. But because they’re stuck on temporary contracts or whatever, they only have a secondary residence listed. Now, they'll probably all be forced to move back to tiny towns filled with retirees.

It's just more proof that these decisions are being rushed through by people who haven't the slightest clue how life actually works in this country.

Nah, the private sector creates innovation too (except maybe in the USSR😁), usually by contracting with the government or the military.😁 We can debate which innovations matter more all day... You're taking this way too personally. Nobody is actually stupid enough to think we should abolish the state entirely or that we'd all live happily ever after in total anarchy. 😁 People are just fed up with governments squeezing them for every last cent like some kind of tribute, and now they want a moment where everyone who actually works gets to show those in power what it feels like to have nothing.

So, go ahead and post your pathetic little farewells telling me to get lost; at this point, the only response you're going to get is "vaya con dios."😁

------------------------------------

Maybe your old man didn't build it because he's brilliant and has access to info others don't, or maybe he's just a fool who's going to blow through his cash before he goes under.

At the end of the day, the guy has his own vision and he's looking out for himself.

I know a guy who has $50 million in reserve, and right now, while demand is down, he looks like a guy watching trucks pass by—he's mass-buying and stockpiling materials, working overtime, and just waiting for the borders to open and the German economy to kick back into gear. It doesn't make him a saint; it just means he knows how to spot an opportunity.☕

Why would I be expected to sell my "Ferrari" just to subsidize people's wages because those poor workers apparently have nothing else to their names? That's nonsense.

It's not "according to me." It's according to the law and the decision that was passed.

They're talking about legal residence, not just where you happen to be hanging out.

And yeah, if someone catches you in Washington, D.C., but your registered residence is on the coast, theoretically, they could use this decision to send you straight back home.
