Alcohol holds zero benefits mentally or physically. 

Marijuana is not the same.

Ban alcohol and mandate Marijuana. Profit?

the last thing you want right now is people detoxing 

there is NOTHING worse than someone coming off alcohol

Theaters will come back. The studios need that box office money. I don't see these efforts of trying to sell a stream for a new movie for $20 going over well at all.

You'd be surprised. If you think about it, taking a family of 4 to the movies to watch the latest Disney movie is likely costing $8 per ticket, plus whatever food a drink you buy at the theater. Or take the same example, date night with just two is $8-9 per ticket plus concessions, etc.

 

$20 and you make your own food/have your own snacks seems like a steal.

Broadband capabilities will be the big push when this is over.  Hate to own thousands of office buildings as they will probably go a bit south.

And suddenly I find myself strongly supporting Trump's brazen plan to withhold funding from the WHO.

Alcohol does not protect against COVID-19; access should be restricted during lockdown

Denver tried this when they initially announced their stay at home guidelines. Liquor stores and marijuana businesses initially were not going to be deemed essential businesses and would've been forced to close for the duration of the stay at home order. People flocked to them in such droves that decision was changed almost immediately.

Cannot wet your whistle, but certain "wets" are still good.

Maybe WHO will put out the best way to slaughter cats.......just so we know we are doing it correctly

Question:  How many of you, with the economy facing real issues, would rather contract the virus and get back to work?  Would you take the chance?

It sounds like a lot of us will get it anyway. Now, or over the next 18 months.

Anyway, are we sure a person can’t get it more than once?

You think Trumps call to get back to work will hurt him?  Not so sure.

As I said, its a fine line

There's a reason why Trump is beating the drum to re-open the economy and there is a growing coalition of Democratic governors trying to formulate their own plans to re-open their economies and that reason is almost certainly 100% politically motivated. Everyone is trying to position themselves to take credit for the re-opening of the economy for political clout.

Like I said, a pecker measuring contest

Dr Oz, appearing on Fox News, just said schools should reopen because only 2-3% of children will die. I am not ok with my children being in that 2-3%. Are you?

Repubs party of pro life is the biggest fraud and misconception out there.

Cost me over $120 per family movie night.  I got a bit family thought.
