...Sounds like he might have already been wasted.
All this will do is trigger people to go beyond the border for booze and buy in bulk quantities.
I don’t see how shutting the liquor stores wins him votes. Wait til the ERs start filling up with alkys going into DTs.
Doesn't the state government in PA actually run the liquor stores? It sounds like it's way too late to be complaining about a "socialist government," if that's the case.
Just keep your Wuhans off my Wawa.
Ohio black market just opened.
People need to be aware of their states official sites and their speeches.
BTW If people don't voluntarily do the right thing in this nat’l emergency then it's not unreasonable to expect the noose will draw tighter. That is just common sense.
Glad you got there in time ;)
Call and flood their phone lines. Blast their emails and fax lines. And, when you’ve done that, ROAD TRIP!!!
Or, you can wait for some of your neighbors to do the road trip and offer to sell to you at several times what they paid for it.
Needless to say, ‘beverages’ were on my prep list. I’m good for at least 6 months (thanks to Traitor Joes!)
Does this mean PA just became a Dry state?
This is not a national ermergency. It is an over-hyped media hoax.
Give it a rest. Wine and beer are still available in some of the grocery stores. Eastern PA is already seeing cases ramping up, and our medical facilities are bound to be under pressure from the combination of PA cases and NJ overflow. We’ll just have to do without the state stores for a while. I’m not a fan of Governor Wolf’s tax and spend orientation, but in this case I am glad he’s putting priority on public health.
Ruh Roh!
So Governor, you close bars and restaurants and tell people to stay home. And now you want to tell them they can’t go pick up a bottle of wine, case of beer or a bottle of whiskey, etc...?
Are you stupid?
Shutting liquor stores doesn’t make sense. It will only piss off the boozers.
Unionized govt liquor store? Its the same crap I experienced in Vancouver Canada. Thats why I moved here to get away from this socialist bs. The good part is that you can go to the nearest state.
I’m from PA.
Stop whining.
Live it.
Love it.
They VOTED for it.
This is going to backfire by causing migrations of people across state lines to obtain their booze. Unbelievably dumb. The last thing you want to do is to encourage people to go out and travel. Let people have their booze and they’ll stay home and get drunk instead.
Yes, we here in PA and the State of Utah are the only ones with State run liquor systems.
However, thanks to modernization and technology, you can now order liquor online and have it delivered to your home.
From the email I received:
“We also remind customers that so long as operations at our e-commerce fulfillment center remain uninterrupted, customers can shop at FWGS.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the option to have wine and spirits delivered directly to your home.”
