I haven’t listened to the news for a bit. Minnesota rules or federal? I did hear that Tom Bak and one other northern Democrat have formed their own caucus. Republicans might put him in charge of a committee?? MN. Governor fuckface just gave his B.S. powerpoint presentation a bit ago Yup.

Have you tried any Scottish Ales? nope Scottish Ales are pretty tasty, definitely not light beer. Hoppier and more flavorful than stouts or porters (to me). They also tend to be high ABV

It seems like every dystopian story written in the last hundred years is coming to life. These futuristic machines remind me of the scoops from Soylent Green.

With Gov. Fuckface's announcement imminent we went to the Legion for the likely last burger night of 2020. Talked to a few of the officers/members about long term impact of this second shutdown on the viability of the club. They aren't sure how long they can survive. I fear there will be nowhere to go have a burger and a beer if this shutdown lasts past the new year.

Very sad. This will put the hurt on many bars and restaurants. Christmas parties/get togethers are important to the budget. One local venue has wedding parties scheduled and now cancelled.

I'm still amazed that we are in a spot in history where one person gets to decide the fate of entire categories of businesses within a state. I cannot understand how this is constitutionally legal

I cannot understand how this is constitutionally legal It comes down to "emergency powers" right? Is there no burden of proof to correspond with these powers? I would think for a governor to be able to shut a state down there should be empirical proof that it is warranted. Before a generation of people loose their livelihood their own death should be eminent, or at least at a higher than 2% chance of death. What checks do a governor have to go through to justify actions like this?

We are one( maybe 2?) countries and should be able to travel between states.

My kids hockey season is shut down for 4 weeks. I doubt it makes a comeback, I think they are just going to keep extending it like spring sports. It blows my mind how many parents are ok with what Governor Walz is putting our kids through this year. He also threatened any coach found running outdoor off the record practices or participating in out of state events with fines and possible jail time. Welcome to AmeriKa

Our local bar is having a two day all day happy hour to drain their open kegs before the shut down. Will probably be closing in a couple months.

$4 dollar pitchers last night, tonight, and tomorrow night until the kegs are gone at the Legion. Most places in the area have tap beers going for $1-$2 until the kegs are dry.
