I can’t wait for the comments on this. Basically, it will be derisively dismissive.

In a world populated by sentient beings, Bloomberg would be a gift from heaven to conservatives.

When government owns industry it is called socialism. When government micromanages business through regulations it is a called fascism.

This country crossed the line into fascism decades ago, but it wasn’t until the last decade or so that it became so obvious that I was awakened from my denial. You couldn’t see that line behind us now even with a high powered telescope.

Leftist loving leeches just love these tyrants to tell them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it - so long as they don’t have to pull their own weight and pay their real fair share.

Leave them to their own devices, the tyrants and leeches, and they’ll soon be telling them what toilet paper to buy, how much they can use, and from which side to wipe, front-to-back or back-to-front.

From the article: “....a bill which would require bowling alley owners to post signage prohibiting patrons from wearing shoes outside of their bowling alleys, ....”

This is hugh and series, don’cha know??!!!

Next the two blooming idijts and Mayor Bloomie will say you can't wear work shoes outside of work, tennis shoes off the court, cowboy shoes (boots) not wearing cowboy outfits and rodeo ropes, or something......

Could you get through TSA screening at the airport in bowling shoes?

NYC has song been a ‘sanctuary city’, giving aid and comfort to illegals as they become an ever increasing part of the population.

Point being that this is the only way Bloomie and the left can hope to get away with this Marxist fascism. No resistance from the illegals, they're just happy to be here.

Maybe this is the real purpose of pushing amnesty.

From the article:

"Bowling shoes are traditionally designed to be slick, and are also typically designed to be unfashionable to discourage their use for anything other than the sport they were made for. It is not clear why patrons ha"ve been leaving establishments in their bowling shoes.

What an amusing comentary on human nature. Try as they might to make bowling shoes ugly, some people find them attractive, perhaps for that very reason.

I went outside the bowling alley to have a smoke. I was wearing my bowling shoes and carrying my 64 oz coke. I had such a large drink because I had put too much salt on my fries.

I think this amounts to a capital offense in NY state

Henceforth, all day-glo shades used in the manufacturing of bowling shoes must be preapproved by state committee, and all organized crime payments slipped into bowling shoes at the rental counter MUST be wrapped in state-approved rubber bands ONLY.

The law is supposed to protect bowling alley owners from lawsuits. Apparently, bowling shoes are slippery and purposely made to look unattractive so people don’t wear them anywhere other than in bowling alleys, but apparently some people do and when they slip on bowling alley property, they sue.

Someone suggested tort reform — a better idea IMO.

Obviously the NY Legislature has nothing better to do with their time and our money.

Let me guess. New York hipsters have decided to start wearing bowling shoes, so the legislators are terrified that people will confuse them with New Jersey hipsters.

Since bowling alleys have special expensive wood, going outside wearing bowling shoes can pick up small pieces of dirt or grit that can scratch the wood. How long does it take to take them off and put on regular shoes? Most alleys already have signs not to walk outside wearing bowling shoes.

Smoking is now prohibited IN bowling alleys, by law. Bowlers have been stepping outside for a smoke in their bowling shoes in inclement weather. The shoes get wet, they try to walk on tile floors, slip, and sue the bowling alley. This legislation is being pushed as a small business protection, to keep bowling alleys from being sued.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience".
