Real scientists are normally worth believing in.

However, thanks to our media, a good many of those who they chose as representatives of science appear to be a bit underwhelming in their logic and recommendations.

Which, of course, is why the low-T and low eddikashun lib arts types are trying so desperately to get those diversity hires up in the STEM departments.

Funny how folks like my wife managed to do quite well in chemistry/comp sci years ago without quotas. Or how the blacks I’ve had the privilege to work with managed to get their doctorates in physics/EE/math without quotas and despite all the discrimination that existed in the 70s.

If a lib touches it, it turns to the most fetid kind of excrement.
Everywhere.
Every time.

New Jersey was shut down so it wouldn’t be infected by hordes of people from New York and Philadelphia.

Because withdrawals from alcohol causes seizures which can lead to death.

It’s about revenue. New York State supermarkets sell beer, but New Jersey’s supermarkets generally don’t. So Murphy knows people will simply cross the border and shop there if he shuts down the liquor stores. He’s afraid of losing tax revenue to New York.

Why keep Alcohol available?

Very simple. It’s always best to keep the Patient sedated when standing by his Bed discussing what’s best for him.

Take tequila away from Mexicans or vodka from Russians and see what happens.

Go ahead - try it.

Hmm, but if you don’t rinse your hands off afterward with water, wouldn’t they arrest you for drunk driving?
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Our ‘black face’ Gov has allowed restaurants to ‘operate’ in a ‘carryout’ capacity THEN allowed the sale of Mixed drinks to go etc...

Smart Arse me has to ask if the ‘fuzz’ will pull you over for having an ‘open’ container of alcohol in your vehicle if you have a ‘double scotch on the rocks’ in a coffee cup OR non approved ABC container????

Or if driving with a ‘drink’ in a coffee or styrofoam(ugh) cup couldn’t you just say you ‘finished’ your sandwich, not your beverage?

THIS WHOLE PILE OF SCHIFF LEADS TO SO MANY UNANSWERABLE QUESTIONS....

And if the police do stop you are they going to throw you into the jail that they just released all the criminals out of?

How are People in New Jersey affording to pay their Property Taxes?

Is the State letting them slide like some of the Mortgage Lenders are doing?

Anyone know how many State Employees have been laid off?

Just random questions that come to mind.

One more question, where did Phil get that cool looking Jacket?

...Carlson stayed with it. It was unique in this day and age for a politician other than President Trump to be grilled for an answer. Murphy finally came around to saying something about consulting with mental health experts who suggested it would harm people who need alcohol in their normal routine.

Alcoholics are a small part of the answer... the larger is, 'What "community" has a liquor store on every corner AND complains about not having fresh vegetables..."?

In the future this 'favor' will be seen as racist - and contributing to the higher number of people of color dying.

NJ is the second worst china-virus state in the nation with 85,000 cases and 4,202 deaths attributed to it but if you look into it, nearly all of the cases are clustered in a handful of counties adjacent to NYC. These are NYC suburbs, filled with people who work and party in NYC. If you look south of, say, Trenton (right in the middle of the state) we have virtually no cases. I think 2,000ish in the entire southern half and around 500 deaths (about half of those in Ocean County which includes much of the shore homes owned by ... you guessed it ... New York City people). So if we leave out Ocean county is't less than 300 deaths in the entire southern half of the state.

So what I want to know from the Governor is why we are on the same lockdown as North Jersey, and what his plan is to ease restrictions on us? But what I heard from the NJ coronovirus info page is that they are saying that because North Jersey has flattened the curve, they may get easing of restrictions but since south NJ has had so few cases we haven't flattened the curve you so we may not get them. If it plays out that way I'll lose my mind.
