Are the bars closing next ?
- Thread starter Poolhall60561
- Start date
The San Francisco Bay Area is in shelter-in-place mode. Essential workers (first responders, gas, grocery, health care, infrastructure) can go to work. The rest of us are expected to stay home except for urgent trips, like for food, health care, and to help others. A week ago at the grocery store, all the chips were out. A few days ago, all the pasta was out.
Ohio did it Sunday. The governor even suspended today's general election until June. This is an unprecedented example of why the power of the state should be used more than the power of the federal government. Anytime you put all power in one place, that's when the majority of the people get screwed. I really don't expect someone from the Netherlands to understand. but you do have to understand whenever you put all the power in one place, it makes for abuse of power.
let me give you an example if Nancy Pelosi had the decision to suspend or cancel State elections, do you think she would have done it in this situation? No. She knows that most elderly voters are conservative. they would have to choose between their health or going out to vote. she knows most of them won't show up.
You think this is an extreme example? I can tell you that it's not. Just review all of her comments. Conservatives are deplorables. yes that was a Hillary Clinton quote but she has used it also.

Harris County Texas (basically the Houston metro area) announced last night that all bars are to close for 15 days and all restaurants are limited to carry-out or delivery service no dine in.
Same with the Agriculture business. I work at an Agronomy plant (custom spraying, fertilizer/pesticide). Business as usual.
Pretty much.
Go read up on Chernobyl and see what happened to those first responders and the clean up crew. Sent to their deaths. Most died within 48 hours. Others weeks, some months, but all died eventually.
Im not worried about league play, I have 2 tables at home. Instead of going to shoot league all we need is our pool tables and a cell phone to stream our matches against each other. We can compete by playing the ghost against each other, thats all I got.
We've had to close our poolroom in northwestern NC for the first time in the 24 years since we opened - very sad. I informed our players that last night was likely our final weekly 9-ball tournament until further notice. Luckily, our restaurant / grill, which is a large portion of our revenue (we are a non-alcohol facility) is take-out orders only, which will hopefully allow most of our employees to keep their hours and to keep some level of cash flow coming in - even if it's hardly enough to cover our food and labor costs
I've contemplated whether to allow the few of our hard core regulars to still be able to come in to play, but probably not, as that would not seem fair to others wondering why they aren't allowed to play.
