Buying something we already owned

I had a problem with all this ‘essential’ versus ‘non-essential’ worker stuff but maybe it was because I was considered a non-essential worker, which is quite a blow to one’s ego. I had no problem with doctors, nurses, firefighters, policemen and ag workers being considered ‘essential’, after all, we have to eat. But in my home state LAWYERS were considered essential workers. In fact, in the 42 states that issued stay-at-home orders lawyers were considered ‘essential’ in 12 of them. I was horrified to hear that at a County Supervisor meeting when it was requested that all essential workers and front line responders stand up and be recognized our local attorney stood up to a round of applause. On the other hand, I can see his point because after any car collision or ‘slip-and-slide’ in the grocery store the local ambulance chasing lawyer responds first even before the paramedics.
