Borgia_dude:
Are you ignorant of why she said come on down to Chinatown?
Yes. Yes I am.
That explains it then. Thanks.
Educate me please. Please Pelosisplain why, at the onset of a respiratory virus epidemic originating from the country with the closest ties to that community, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives would suggest congregating in a high density area, which is also a likely an original destination for many recent immigrants from said country of origin.
I really want to know.
Perhaps you should recalibrate for the time she said it instead of using the rear view mirror.

WuWei:
I prefer being asked nicely instead of issued directives. I don’t respond very well to threats from panicky hypocrites just because they’re governors or mayors.
So just so I’m straight here, you oppose taking away the popular vote for the Senate, among other things, because you believe people can’t be trusted to choose the right people to represent their state but you believe implicitly in the wisdom of twenty three year olds to make smart choices re: excessive alcohol consumption on a holiday as a large group? In my state?
You guys elected a 29 year old left wing bartender to congress and you’re questioning OUR wisdom?

WuWei:
I believe a 23 year-old has a right to make the choice. Everywhere.
It’s not just 23 year olds! Where I come from it’s all age groups and it’s tradition. I am betting this is going to hurt the Democratic Party as a whole in PA!
But at least we aren’t as bad as Oregon!
Freedom is a messy thing.
A cool story, bro’.
When my son was about 16, he came to me and said he felt like he was old enough and proven himself enough to be allowed to make more of his own decisions.
I thought about it and agreed. And he did very well.
A while later, I had a surprised planned. He had a paper due. I tried to convince him to make the correct decision without spoiling the surprise. He didn’t take the hints.
I was furious.
My woman laughed and said, “You’re a dumbass. When you agreed to let him make his decisions, you agreed to accept the consequences.”
I hate when she’s right.

Seems one could go out earlier. One could go the next day. One could go tonight. One can’t go to the bar at 3AM but one should be able to. Freeberty!
Hmmm, will you be arguing to hold the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square this year? It MUST be held so people can satisfy their urge to be around other people?
What’s sciency about 5PM?

conan:
People go to bars to be among other people. Say libs really think they can control human behavior.
Interesting…
You can still go out dude. You just can’t get a beer past 7pm. That’s it.
5 pm.

I am both ready and prepared for you to educate me.

Those were New York City Democrats, not the same as PA Democrats
If there was no directive, would you open? You know, as a guy with actual skin in the game. Would you follow the mandate without the mandate?

And yet she has tremendous influence on Democrats from all over who have been in government for decades.

I voted for Conor Lamb so I’ve no idea what you’re on about.

Yes, but it is not “taking away”.
Sure it is. You want to repeal a constitutional amendment to take away people’s political choices because they don’t pick the right people to represent the state correctly.

Wouldn’t matter either way where I work. But the bars in the Cultural District and South Side definitely would open and then three weeks later we’d be shut down for the third time. Prefer to avoid that.

It is a system restoration.

Conor Lamb
Looks like a good choice. Married well. Too bad he chose the wrong party.

It is a system restoration.
Based in the overt distrust of the individual to make correct political decisions as a group.

It’s a yes or no question.
Stop resisting.

Based on system design and complexity theory.
Science stuff.

Based on system design and complexity theory.
Which still all goes back to you don’t believe that people can be trusted to make the correct political choices for the people to represent their state’s interests in Congress.
While simultaneously you think the health code is tyranny because people know better. Not enough for you to trust them to elect politicians though.
Offer people the choice! Whether to spread a disease or not, I mean, not for things I really care about like voting though.
