And that it's not promptly rejected by the Trump admin the way the WHO tests were.

Completely defeats the points of testing when the results are so delayed.

The problem is soap and water doesn't really get capsaicin of your skin.

"Obviously we had to have an agreement with the administration in order to get started" um no you don't

Typical Democratic limp-wristed bullshit with making concessions before the negotiations have even started. If they were the GOP, they'd start with $2k a week to make landing back on $600 a week seem more palatable.

Surely Trump won't try to raid the same piggy bank twice!

Some of the restaurants around here have been running half-off specials on bottles on wine, which often gets the prices down reasonably close to liquor store/supermarket price points. Especially back in March and April, I felt a lot better about calling in the order, paying over the phone, and having it handed to me out on the sidewalk than having to go into a store to buy a bottle.

Didn't NY legalize to-go booze from restaurants as part of their COVID response? And the point is that apparently a lot of places have such razor-thing margins that running a skeleton crew and keeping some lights off was helping push them into profitability. They were probably also able to get away with stocking less inventory than normal.

A lot of places were apparently more profitable while just doing takeout and delivery since they were able to operate with just their kitchens and a couple of front of house people to answer the phone and hand over orders...but then collectively got screwed by the reopening rush because they felt like they couldn't risk losing out over their competitors having their dining rooms open while they didn't.

A couple of months before the election is definitely an interesting time to test the theory that Americans would be willing to riot if they didn't have to worry about losing their jobs and thus their health insurance, by intentionally blowing up all the jobs.

The obvious solution, if BdB was not so reflexively pro-car, was to just move it across the street at the expense of a couple of those parking spots.

Tried that, no response. Are the Beans supposed to supersede the Buds+, or is it going to be more like them being the Airpod Pros in the lineup vs the Buds+ being the Airpods? Don't really want to buy the Buds+ right now if the Beans are going to drive the price of the Buds+ down but would be more keen if they won't have that downward price pressure on the Buds+.

I know in Los Angeles, a lot of places got screwed by preparing to reopen just to promptly get shut back down. https://www.eater.com/2020/7/21/21331745/guerrilla-tacos-la-restaurant-coronavirus-california-reopening-shutdown-covid-19 In NY, they've been pulling shit like making restaurants sink tons of their own money into outdoor seating and then harassing them over minor things like the seating being 6" too close to the sidewalk.

Makes sense to try to force people into going back to work while letting all the employers go under!

Downriver to Mexico? MAGAKAG, at least they'll finally be paying for something!

Also the Dutch, right? As libertarians, aren't we okay with Nazis getting tarred and feathered as long as it's a private tarring and feathering and not a government-instigated one?

I know a guy who was directly involved in the 1960s civil rights movement and IIRC he grew up on Long Island in the Levittown...and his experience with a cross being burned on his front yard because of his parents' politics. IIRC it was rigged to start exploding nails toward the house. Nothing good happens on Long Island.

Seeing it's made landfall. Does that mattress dude at least have furniture stores in the county?
