To the Editor:

What is an essential business?

Any business that has a customer willing to pay for that business’ services or goods is essential – maybe not to everyone, but to someone. In my estimation, that makes either the business essential or the customers’ needs unessential. We all have different desires and needs.

I’m not in the position to judge yours, nor you mine. A trip to the gym might be what someone needs to remain calm. A haircut/beauty treatment might help another.
