Gov. Tom Wolf Threatens to Fine at Least 150 Pennsylvania Restaurants for Operating Despite Shutdown Orders
Breitbart ^ | 12/17/2020 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 12/17/2020 8:38:24 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf (D), has threatened at least 150 restaurants with fines for operating after the governor again shut down indoor dining last week.

Last week, Wolf announced a set of mitigation strategies to curb the spread of the Chinese coronavirus, which suspends indoor dining at “bars, restaurants, breweries, wineries, distilleries, social clubs, and private catered events” until January 4, 2021. The order also prohibits private gatherings of more than ten people, though it excludes places of worship. However, it urges churches, synagogues, and mosques to “find alternative methods.” Additionally, outdoor gatherings are capped at 50, and businesses are prohibited from operating beyond 50 percent capacity.

He already lost a case with regards to overstepping his powers.
I wish him, and his no penis friend, ill will.

If the government wanted to build a new highway, and if a restaurant was in the way, Eminent Domain would require compensation for depriving the property owner of the property.

I think it is a great crime that government can just wave the magic wand shutdown entire businesses and shrug off the loss of income for owner and employees. The government doesn’t care and feels no sense of responsibility.

My daughter and son-in-law live in Pennsylvania and have
discovered several of their favorite restaurants and a gym they like
are still operating similarly to the prohibition “speak-easies”.

This has come down to shutting down for the sake of shutting down, public-health platitudes notwithstanding.

Richard/Rachel Levine - our Secretary of Health, has a penis.

Just grew his hair long and changed his name.

Their association needs to organize a NATIONWIDE pushback. The only thing that will save their industry is nationwide coordinated defiance. Otherwise, people will have to book a flight to Florida or Texas to enjoy a bar or restaurant with family and friends.

The state are the neighborhood bullies stealing everyone else’s lunch money, literally the only recourse is resistance, all those business e s should simply refuse to pay, and hopefully many more will open a d join them.

Back awhile ago, a Maine business owner tried to get businesses to join him in resisting the government, Noone did, an d the man lost his business, probably for good. He tried to fight, but ended up with huge bills and no shop

New style speakeasies....

I honestly didn’t think of that great idea. Show I really do not know everything (as some of you guessed.)

People can have some fun and go without masks for an hour or two.

Then the black garbed Antifa and BLM goons bust through the doors and bludgeon and rob the people.
Followed by cops arresting the people.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...

We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

They should just up their insurance and put signs on the front, BLM is communist, and so is Gov. Wolfe.

Time for another Reichstag fire.
