Pa gov closes Liquor operations
learner

Posted on 03/16/2020 7:45:29 PM PDT by learner

Pa Governor has on short notice closed the Pa unionized liquor licensed stores, which in PA are the only stores. This will cause these horrible bums to be paid while not working and get votes for the worst in life governor. We in PA need your support in defying this ban, which is a socialist government ban on free trade. Here is the number of the PR person for the PLCB (1 717 919 1905 Liquor Board) Elizabeth Brassel and the PA gov's number is 1-717-787-2500 These jerks need a lot of calls. Thanks for your help George

that’s going to put a good sized dent in their revenue fender. sin taxes are one of the few things government can still do while grasping their pearls and insisting that they’re still virgins.

My parents hail from NYC and have often referred to our Pennsylvania liquor monopoly as a bizarre practice, almost a nationalization. I’ve never tried it but apparently you can open a liquor store in NY without being a government.
Me, I find NY gun laws weird, whereas PA is gun-loving and sensible.
In any case I don’t see the point of closing the liquor stores. Why not simply deliver the stuff, like pizza?

Yes, we here in PA and the State of Utah are the only ones with State run liquor systems.

Virginia rates this claim as: FALSE.

At least PA didn’t halt the fracking.

[[Pa gov closes Liquor operations]]

Curious plumes of smoke popping up all over the hill towns deep in the woods- souped up cars seen rumbling down back roads- secret knock signals heard throughout the business districts- Patrons of said businesses seem suspiciously giddy

So lemme get this straight- We’re going through a pandemic when people will need liquor the most, and some brains in government thought it would be a good idea, “For the safety of everyone” To DENY raging alcoholics their nightly imbibing? So now we have a bunch of half crazed alcoholics with the DT’s running all over the neighborhoods looking for easy scores?

Destroying the U.S. economy to avoid flu deaths is insanity.

If removing state government control over liquor stores isn’t made into a campaign issue in at least some Pennsylvania races, it’s because both parties are in on the graft.

That said, it’s not really as dire as some early reports are saying. Restaurants, breweries and wineries with six pack or bottle service can still provide carry outs. If the supply runs get disrupted, things will get dire quickly though.

I think it’s a Commonwealth thing. The others do it too.
