"..the antipuffing G-men pounced, slapping Lerner with a $200 fine, not because he sold cigarettes to an underage person - which he hadn’t - but because an underage person had simply walked into his store."

This is sick! Where is the victim other than the owner?
Nazi tactics for sure.
Its getting bad.
What does it cost for a new business to simply comply to the ADA rules? Thousands. Aisle width, door width, the bathrooms ,ramps , thousands of dollars thrown away because one handicapped person in a thousand may want to enter.

Some California municipalities are making homeowners do many of those things if they want to sell the house. A friend (he's a realtor) was even surprised when he learned that he had to do some major doorway work to the guest bathroom, because it wasn't "handicapable".
It's not like conservatives ever stood any chance in Boston or Massachusetts.

As Nugent said, “What the hell happened?”
created by Tom Nugent at National Review a few years ago.
Nanny State Ping!!!!!!!!!!
Just last week I was carded for a pack of cigarettes...........and I'm 45 years old. The poor girl at the register was embarrassed (I'm old enough to be her mother) but one of their other stores got nailed eariler for not carding someone who didn't look 27.
The marxists who control the state legislatures are imposing their poisonous ideology by making an end run around the feds.
The resulting discrimination will be the economic ruin as populations desert the tyranny.
So, what you're saying is.... You're a babe?
Well, we already knew that.
;-)
LOL!!!!!
Flattery will get you..............................nevermind :)
Funny thing though, Earlieer that same day in that same store I was not carded for a 12 pack of beer. Go figger.
That's it - that's my whole platform.
A friend of mine worked in an automotive paint store and he told me that one day someone from the state walked in and started going over the shelves of paint and supplies checking for violations. He said all the stuff that was stored in regular inventory was as it was supposed to be, but because it was the middle of the business day and they were in the process of mixing paint for customers, they had the flammable storage cabinet unlocked and had numerous cans of paint open for transfer of product from can to can. The guy just started checking off multiple $1000 violations for improper labeling and open containers and unsecured cabinets simply because of a temporary usage condition.
If you run in my district I promise to vote for you.
You are very right there. If you are located in MA, you have my sincerest sympathies. Being the oldest, MA is part of the leading edge of American societal decay. It seriously needs an injection of conservative penicillin.
LOL. Thanks. At least I am not the only one who thinks the situation is nuts.
If only illegal immigration law was so effectively enforced we would have little problem with illegal immigration.
This total bullsh*t selective law enforcement is nothing but feel good back patting of a society of victims.
