After growing tired of watching elected officials demand they operate at a capacity that is unsustainable for food service locations, 200 restaurateurs in Pennsylvania are staging a revolt.
In an audacious plan, the restaurant owners intend to save their businesses by opening at a larger capacity, with some added safety measures.
KDKA-TV reported the so-called restaurant revolution began Friday with dozens of restaurants opening at more than 25 percent capacity in defiance of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s orders.
The movement encourages restaurants to ignore the state’s mandate that food service businesses operate at no more than one-quarter capacity.
The participating restaurants will instead further open their dining rooms by using guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Those in the association say they are just as essential as stores like Target, Walmart and Giant Eagle,” the attorney said, adding that restaurants have been “bullied” and “want their rights back.”
“Because of financial desperation they wanted to do what they wanted to do and needed to do to survive,” he said.

Yep. And all because some conservatives stayed home, due to Corbett raising the gas tax. Sow the wind, or in this case, let some other people sow the wind, then reap the whirlwind.
If I lived there I too would fully support this action.
If fines are levied I would support a Go Fund Me site.
GOOD!!
Just call the customers “Black Lives Matter protesters”. Problem solved.
Good! Many Karens need to be choked with The Force.
Screw these politicians, and screw any cops who enforce this tyranny!
Should be 2,000.
That might get through to maybe half of them.
Mass rejection is what it takes to get rid of bad government.
Either the people are in charge, for better or worse, or the government is.
If the 200 restaurants form a lobby group and start making donations to politicos they will suddenly get relief. That’s how our politics works. Its all about money.
We have the best government money can buy.
Needs to become 2,000 restaurants full open soon. In every state.
Viva la revolution!
Wake up, America!
Topple the tyrants!
MAGA!
Forget the citations. If you refuse to obey Gov Wolf’s mandate, he will send Dr Rachel (Richard) Levine to your business to dance naked on one of your tables during peak business hours. This will have the desired effect on your business.
Yesterday the girlfriend and I went to Walmart (NW Mississippi). We were in all 4 corners of the store buying $248.00 worth of stuff and I didn’t have my mask on for one second. Saw a middle aged women without a mask and a young mom carrying her toddler and neither of them had a mask on.
There is a bar down the street that I frequent a couple of days a week that just basically gave the finger to the state (TX), and county (Denton), and has been open for a couple of months now.
Let the shooting begin all in
Hey Ohio, are you listening?
