Nevada, like no other state, is totally dependent on tourism. If tourism dies, the state will die. The Democrat governor, Steve Sisolak, is doing his best to kill Nevada. Sisolak seems to be driven more by a lack of clear thinking rather than malicious intent.
Sisolaks plan is to place most state residents under what amounts to house arrest. In order to discourage anyone from leaving their house he is attempting to make leaving home as unpleasant as possible. Parks are closed, or if that is impossible, at least the bathrooms are closed. He is even attempting to close the vast desert that surrounds Las Vegas, blocking off roads and trails. All businesses are required to close except for essential businesses like grocery stores. The schools are closed, making it difficult for parents to work because they have to care for their children.
The entire tourist industry has been shut down. The Las Vegas strip, usually crowded with tourists staying in some of the 150,000 hotel rooms, is completely deserted.
Tourism is the base of Nevadas economy. Hundreds of thousands of tourist industry workers have been laid off. The state unemployment benefits office is apparently helpless in the face of the flood of applicants.
The governor sees this as a medical problem. It does not seem to bother him that destroying the Nevada economy will devastate the citizens of Nevada. Not only will they lose their jobs, they will also lose their savings and assets.
What exactly is the purpose of the house arrest? The disease is going to spread through the population until enough people are recovered and immune, so that herd immunity develops, and the virus fades away. That is the typical pattern for the spread of a new disease.

Thats not what I read from his comments.
Something more than broken lives and addictions.
Gambling produces nothing of intrinsic value. The entire gambling industry/economy can go under for all I care.
*superstitious mumbo jumbo* sounds a lot like despising God to me.
They don’t call it Sin City for nuthin’
Good Advice! This needs to be remembered by every voter in the upcoming elections. It should be obvious by now where most of our nation’s problems are coming from. Vote accordingly!
Maybe it’s all the smells and bells and repetitious chants that has his panties in a wad.
Sisolak Go Back!
Milwaukee Union Bolsheviks need you!
Better yet, head home to Slovakia! The KSS needs you!
I think the author, like most on the right, knows but is afraid to speak the whole truth - that this is a deliberate destruction of the economy. Why? Because they know they will be called paranoid extremists for telling the truth.
They think the average person will refuse to believe that the Rats are wrecking the economy in the hopes of destroying Trump in November. That, if they are successful in taking the WH and both houses, they will never relinquish control. We will have “mail in” voting forever which will amazingly enough always go 75%+ Rat. The Soviet Union reconstituted in North America.
IMO, we are now in the middle of the most critical time in the history of the republic. Yes, despite the lack of serious bloodshed (so far), this is more threatening to the future of this country than the War Between the States, erroneously referred to as the Civil War.
In New York, even if official death figures are to be believed (unlikely), the death rate per 100,000 is 1/2 of the suicide rate. Take out the nursing home type facilities and the rate plummets even more.
Our society has lost the critical reasoning ability to assess risk, particularly in matters of life or health.
What else does our society not comprehend? The laws of diminishing returns and unintended consequences. They are called “laws” because they are immutable and nothing man can do will change that.
I’m 68, not a 25 year old superman, saying that.
PS: January 2019 I got the flu which became pneumonia and I nearly died. My doctor said after that because I work at home I was not getting exposed enough to people to develop & maintain a full resistance to these things.
A democrat Governor sees an opportunity and immediately goes full on Totalitarian and Stalinist, Democrats have been doing this since the partial birth abortion that created them, why is it News??
You kill the economy you kill orange man bad..see how that works! WE’VE BEEN HAD!!
Democrats are NOT good for your personal or economic health!
Not good for much of anything, IMHO!
You can bet they'll go out "kicking & screaming" for a government bailout to rescue them from their bass ackwards thinking.
Don't tell me... "you were NOT good at math in school!"
Bump
For sure. We went through the AZ/NV border town of Mesquite, NV and the freaking place looks like a ghost town. They have three casinos and the parking lots look like some of those "Day After" movies. LOTTA service people are hurting, and I'll bet the city's budget is in ruins.
Beaches in Jacksonville were opened for awhile, and I bet if you did a search you would find others as well.
Besides, what’s wrong with walking to a beach?
If tourism dies, the state will die.
More absurd hyperbole. Was Nevada dead in 1940? 1920?
