Historic Fraunces tavern in danger

[ironglows]

  Frauncves tavern, est 1719, in danger of going belly up, all because of a stupid mayor and his stupid, draconian rules!  If they had been allowed to operate as usual, perhaps they would not have been forced to close their doors!

I would say its more about the building than the bar. I don't care if some bar in NYC closes.

$25,000 a month rent!  I wonder what the cost of a shot or a beer is in that place, not that I would ever go in it. I can't really get upset because that is business. Going broke because the governor closed you down like many, many businesses have is this state is what makes me mad.

Well, Saturday is the day Linda and her other old lady friends go out to eat, and play majon all day.
While waiting in line, another woman struck up a conversation with them, and was complaining about the self-centered selfishness of people who refuse to wear masks in public.

Government controls are gonna shut a lotta other things down before this is over.

But it'll never be over. The camel is in the tent.

Exercising your God given RIGHTS are now proof of your own selfish self-centeredness towards others.

People who obediently and without question, wear a mask, should have a cup holder on one side of the mask..to hold their Koolaid !

Hey, I started  wearing a mask when I go into some stores. On the front in large, easy to read, white letters on a black mask is printed " This mask is as worthless as my governor". It's my way of letting others know what I think of this whole mess. I've gotten one evil look from a young couple that said nothing to me and some saying they wanted one. Anyway I'm having fun with it and anyone that doesn't like it can kiss my bony old rear end.

 Although I don't have any custom made masks, I do have a white shell type construction mask..of which I have lettered in red sharpie..MAGA across the front.

I have one of those flimsy blue and white ones I carry in my pocket.
Most stores up here in Socialist Minnesota have said nothing when I walk in not wearing it; at the Casinos I took my other half to for her birthday, I put it on and then pull it down when in side.
Only one security guard said it should be up, so I pretended to pull it up as he walked by and then left it down.
The security guards were weirdly walking around at the speed of a walking race, or chicken with its head cut off, doing nothing,  but all the rest just walked by and said nothing.
If you are eating or smoking you do not have to wear it, so when the chick offered free pop I grabbed a cup and did not bother with the mask after that.

I am surprised at how differently the Casinos in Minn. have reacted to the Chinese Virus as they do not have to do as Gov. Klink says.

At that some have over one half the machines shut off --  social distancing BS--, some have those asinine plastic dividers, some have banned smoking, and the rest have all the machines running, allow smoking and no asinine dividers.
Guess which ones are most busy.

A lot of bars no one, including employees are wearing them.
If our god wannabe does not get kicked out next time the gov. elections comes up, then Minn. deserves any misery coming its way.

  I carry one of those blue paper masks, because it folds and fits in the back pocket of my jeans.  It's pretty  ratty by now..but who cares, they are not for heatlh reasons, but for mind control purposes !
