DONATE
drive to Wisconsin. Geesh. Move to Texas
If there is no one to sell a license who is there to enforce selling without a license?
Honey! Load up the SUV with smokes and booze! There’s money to be made in Minnesota. We could end up rich like the Kennedy family.
Its time for the good citizens of Minnesota to make a beer run to Iowa!!! Or Wisconsin!!!
Isn’t there an alcohol tax in MN? It looks like the state coffers will take another hit...thats good news for Iowa and Wisconsin.
“no way to renew the permits”
And if you operate without a valid permit then the jackboot
thug cops will take advantage of the situation (like they
always do) and shut you down with the butt and then the
barrel of a gun.
lol!!
In the older days when citizens had both smarts & balls there would be a hundred speak easys open for business right now
I may be wrong BUT rumor has it Wisconsin is a great drinking state.
If Minnesota runs dry. Minnesotans can always go next door to visit one of a hundred microbreweries. And Wisconsin will be glad to welcome their neighbors
Some bright guy will smuggle in smokes and booze from S/N Dakota.
That's what - October? Someone can't figure out a way around things by then?
Good grief! This morning there was the harrowing report that campers couldn’t find a place to pee in the state parks. Truly, an easy problem to solve on anybody’s IQ tests but apparently a tough nut to crack for Minnesota statists and lefty newspapers.
Now there’s this problem with a state run monopoly on alcohol and tobacco. I can’t believe this is a real problem
Look on the bright side. The unemployed can now go into the smuggling business, bringing in cigarettes, beer, whiskey and more from adjacent states. Years ago, Minnesota banned the sale of oleomargarine and my relatives in Duluth used to stock up whenever they visited us in Illinois. I’m sure what worked then works now.
I’ll bet the folks in the Dakotas, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ontario and Manitoba would be happy to do business and meet the demand. Some might even be willing to truck in supplies and demonstrate how little Minnesota’s citizens truly need all those high paid state employees*.
I wonder what happens if the Strib runs out of newsprint or ink.
*I stopped using the word “workers” to describe union employees of government. I’m open to an alternative to “employees” if anyone has any suggestions.
Look at the bright side. Maybe the new era of bootleggers smuggling alcohol into Minnesota state will create a new auto racing series. That’s how stock car racing got it’s start. Maybe we will see Ford Lightning’s running at midnight without headlights at 130 mph.
If people start bootlegging smokes, beer, liquor, wine and other fine, ingestible substances I bet the MN governor and Nappy at DHS will label the bootleggers as “domestic terrorists.”

Road trip!
