why would they re-open the salons first, of all things?

this reliance on other people for basic hygiene seems to be strangely widespread in the united states.

i wonder if it's ultimately a legacy of slavery, because i don't think people anywhere else in the world put that kind of importance on paying other people to groom them.

whatever you think of all of this nonsense, you'd think that something as frivolous and intimate as a salon would be the first thing to close and the last thing to re-open - if not based on the science, then at least based on importance.
