to a person, I cannot think of a friend who would consider their prom a necessary part of their high school experience or even a significant memory. On the other hand, my date from prom told me I look like I haven't aged at our last reunion.

I hate him because he's fat.

He's losing in court every time. He doesn't realize he's not a king and he doesn't get to tell others what "the right thing" is. How about when these businesses that have gone under sue the state? Whether they win or lose, how much does that cost?

That uniform is not a good look.

That is tyranny. Even in non-democratic societies this is considered poor form. Threatening non compliant municipalities like that is really something.

The governor of Pennsylvania said he's going to revoke liquor licenses and certificates of occupancy if businesses don't shut down.

That is kind of a bluff, I guess. If businesses aren't willing to abide by this ridiculous quarantine what's stopping them from also ignoring occupancy restrictions and liquor licenses. You wanna be the politician who got everyone's favourite bar shut down?

Sometimes these guys and their power mad ambitions get the better of them. There is a risk, albeit minimal, that making those types of threat undermines their entire system of revenue they get from things like occupancy certificates and liquor licenses.

Hey, Prohibition was very popular.

I'm not saying mobs with torches and pitchforks are going to storm the Governor's mansion, The Thompson Ctr, or his Florida estate, but the longer this goes on the more and more people are starting waiver on their support for an all encompassing lockdown.

There is no treatment or vaccine imminent. At this point, the lockdown is doing more harm than good. Balancing health- mental and physical- and economics, the smart thing to do is the re-open the state little by little with distancing and other measures where required. As far as bars and restaurants go, the easiest thing to do is allow those with patio seating and beer gardens to open with tables 10' apart.


I like how he touted that he opened up state parks and golf courses. With two people allowed in a boat or the same golf hole. What about a family of four that wants to go fishing?

They're going to lose the yearly business license fees from at least the 20% of all foodservice businesses in the city and state that go under. Probably more than 20% of liquor licenses.

I think the issue is that the liquor and beer distributors are not allowed to sell to those who do not have a license.

It was until it wasn't.

At the end of the day though there's an army of soyboy leftists and karens who love this shit. And if you carry the shitlib and nosy white woman demographics that is enough to win a few elections depending on where the race is.

And what happens if the distributors sell to them anyways? Is the state going to revoke their license too?

I know these governors think they can crash their state economies as some sort of fun little power play game to fuck over their constituents, since it seems contempt for the population is a universal sentiment among the political class in any society. But targeted economic terrorism that doesn't serve any public health end is probably a step too far, and trying to wield these certifications and licenses as a weapon against "non-compliance" could very easily backfire.

I am kinda dumb. Maybe he was

What if it's like HIV and a cocktail is the best they can do? What will happen with sporting events and concerts? You can't have empty stadiums for 4 years.

dude, half the board has been saying that since March.

I actually agree with him on this, but holy shit coming from a guy who is actively flaunting his seething hatred of his constituents and has never done an honest days work in his life its infuriating.

Billionaires and millionaires are not the same thing.

Do not ever think that.
