'Work conquers all': Protests erupt in state capitals nationwide over coronavirus restrictions

In Frankfort, Kentucky, a small-business owner wielded a microphone to accuse Gov. Andy Beshear of stifling free enterprise by shuttering businesses and ordering people to stay home.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, a protester was arrested while a crowd urged Gov. Roy Cooper to ease his restrictions.

In Oklahoma City, motorists circled the capitol decorated with signs imploring Gov. Kevin Stitt to put the state back to work.

“We’re hoping to inspire other folks,” said Lori Gracey, a business consultant who organized the Oklahoma protest with a few friends in Broken Arrow.

If businesses start up, workers will return. If, or when the virus returns, the workers will not have enough time built up to qualify for Unemployment Insurance. Probably will not have health insurance either.

Someone saves/makes money/others lose.

Just sayin'
