I live in New York and I didn’t know Pennsylvania Liquor is publicly sold. What do they have their own brand lol. I don’t understand. are there really state-run stores that sell liquor only? Sounds weird

Last July, when Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed legislation that would have privatized liquor sales in Pennsylvania, he argued that the state monopoly, which generally charges more than private retailers in neighboring states, is good for consumers because it keeps prices low. The claim was not only economically unsound, but inconsistent with another major argument against privatization: that it increases alcohol abuse by making booze cheaper and easier to obtain.

Substance monopolies, like substance bans, can be defended only by embracing contradictory arguments.

Blame Shifting? Sullum here FAILS at correctly placing the blame where it belongs.

In the Tamir Rice case, blame goes to Rice, his parents, the BLM morons and thug culture in general.

The cops were correctly exonerated.

By ignoring the reckless approach that led to Tamir's death, McGinty managed to absolve the cops while implicitly blaming the boy for accidentally scaring Loehmann.

This is just what I've been asking. Why drive to within a few feet of this "dangerous thug"?

There's no good answer.
