This is for real. All of Pennsylvania and not just Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.

I expect ER visits from alcoholics in withdrawal or worse yet, delirium tremens.

It’s going to be hell in those stores until tomorrow night.

The Natives will become restless.

[Magnum44]

Yep.

[Skywise]

Why?! Because they’re government operated? Because liquor stores aren’t “essential” so we need to make the employees safe by denying them a paycheck?

[Steely Tom]

Well, I guess that’s the end of drinking alcohol in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This will solve a lot of problems.

Welcome to the Roaring 20’s Prohibition Encore.

I’m sure the dems will be whining about people having to choose between hoarding booze and buttwipe!

[P.O.E.]

I suppose drug dealers will be still be allowed to operate freely? /s

[Buckeye McFrog]

Probably a bad move. If you want people to sit inside and stare at the walls for fifteen days it’s going to be easier to get them to go along if they’re sedated.

e-commerce too? Love to hear the reasoning behind that.

[Pearls Before Swine]

They’re closing the “packies?”

[Buckeye McFrog]

This’ll go over like a fart in church.

If it boots the Dems out of the Governor's Mansion it will be worth it.

Fire all you Pennsylvania freepers. No thank you necessary.

Bootlegger heaven. I used to drop off loads in Kansas and buy as much Coors as I could and haul it back to Tennessee. $5 a six pack in the early seventies it was a gourmet item (gag). Granddaddy was a bootlegger in Hickman county, Tennessee so I must have caught it from him. They can't stop it.

Foresight, folks, foresight.

Placed an on line order with Total Wine in Cherry Hill. Case of wine, case of beer and several handles of spirits to bolster the pre-existing cellar spirits.
