Did you get the shot?

[Smitty-48]

if you look at who Jim Crow was, he was basically the black "Deplorable"

it wasn't that Jim Crow was John Brown, Jim Crow wasn't going to rise up against the Plantation Aristocrats

Jim Crow was simply too "deplorable" to be allowed into polite society

thus, "Deplorable" is really just an euphemism for "White Jim Crow"

[StCapps]

It's not really a moral crusade though is it?
It is a genuine public health issue.
Unless you are going to argue that alcoholism is highly infectious you are just diverting from the fact that during a pandemic it's a good idea to stop going to crowded bars even when it is the government telling you.

alcoholism is a genuine public health issue too

that doesn't make prohibition a good idea

the same logic applies to covid

covid being an infectious disease doesn't make obvious government overreach any better of an idea

the Temperance Leagues won the Prohibition war in the end

the Volstead Act was simply replaced with prohibition by draconian regulation

thus both the Saloons and the Speakeasy's ceased to exist, replaced by family friendly restaurants

so it's a lost cause, long ago lost, might as well just move on at this juncture

indeed but them having won the war is not a good thing

meanwhile Monte thinks it is a good thing, even though it harms his livelihood directly

I'm just calling him out on shooting himself in the foot and the government for doing the same

Because it is in the same vain. Reducing human freedom of choice is like trying to stop a river from flowing. The water will always find a way just like humans finding a way to do what they want to do, aka freedom of choice.

actually, I think you are mistaken

the young do not favour freedom, they fear it

at least two generations have been raised on the internet, at least one on smart phones

two generations is all that is needed to break the links with the past

so this Safe Space Brave New World is now baked into the culture

things are not going back to the way they were

this is the New Segregation

Jim Crow laws

except we are Jim Crow now

Young people just sit in the pub staring at their phones all night.
Might as well do that at home.

Indeed, this is not even the same civilization we grew up in anymore

this Brave New World is here to stay, no sense wasting time lamenting

we are already in a state of internal exile, strangers in our own lands

so there is no point in going out at all, what we went out for in the past, doesn't even exist anymore

better use the new Jim Crow laws to assist in achieveing that outcome

and make it harder for you to make money

brilliant plan

as Monte has said, they turned all the bars into restourants

what I called a bar doesn't even exist anymore

they make money catering to women now, the Saloons are long gone

and they still shut the down the family friendly restaurants anyway

temperance is no defense against government overreach evidently

[Smitty-48]

I have a business plan to run a nightclub here in this college town

I am not even going to serve alcohol, it's not a money maker with the youth of today

I will just serve edible THC products and the like, the kids today barely drink by old world standards

government overreach is what the masses demand, democracy in action

I don't waste time on what I can't control

[Montegriffo]

I'll miss pubs when the nice ones have all gone but only because I like cooking traditional British pub food.
