Not defending Amazon's petty childish antics when they deal with government, but "essential" has a relative meeting. What is essential to you, may not be essential to me, and vice versa. Two small examples:
My friend started a new remote job last week after about 6 months of unemployment...a feat that was amazing considering the fact that most companies are laying off. He was required to buy a laptop, which was to be reimbursed. He had extensive difficulty buying a laptop that met the required specs because most computer stores are considered non-essential, and amazon had delivery times that were too long.
The other was in Target. I saw someone buying a ton of furniture, while crying. I asked if they were okay, and they responded that their house burned down a month ago, and they had been staying in a hotel while insurance was processing everything, but their hotel time limit had passed and they were forced to move into an empty apartment because their furniture company shut down operations due to being non-essential. She had spent the night on a bare hardwood floor with her husband and toddler.
