BC...Before Coronavirus
On August 26, 2007 I wrote a Blog Posting about the Chaos
that existed before the Chinese invented Coronavirus. It was a long Blog
Posting and, even though it was Well Written, I won’t repeat the whole Blog
Posting in this Blog Posting but I will give you 3 of its Well Written Bullet Points
to set the stage for this Well Written Blog Posting...
Before our Founding Fathers came up with the Constitution,
Chaos was having its way with the Good Ole USofA…
Ø The cooperation among
the states, forged in the 1770s and sustained during the war, had vanished with
independence.
Ø Competition and exploitation
reigned, and the revival of a fierce localism pitted Virginian against
Marylander, New Yorker against New Jerseyite, Georgian against South
Carolinian.
Ø Connecticut and New Jersey were
rumored to be planning a joint assault on New York.

What Goes Around Comes Around.
AC...After
Coronavirus
Pennsylvania’s Liquor Control Board
announced March 16 that liquor stores would close the next day...
Ø The
state was hoping to keep residents at home.
Ø Instead
Pennsylvania Residents flocked to buy booze while they still could buy booze.
Ø Lines
stretched around the block.
Ø Sales
spiked to $29.9 million in a single day.
Denver saw a similar rush when Mayor
Michael Hancock announced that liquor stores would not be considered Essential Businesses...
Ø The
mayor told his minions not to panic buy.
Ø The
minions panicked.
Ø Within
hours the Governor reversed course.
Ø The
liquor stores stayed open.
You are probably wondering why Colorado
is smarter than Pennsylvania. I know why and you are about to know why because
I am going to tell you why...
It’s because they are all smoking Marijuana and they are able
to think clearly.
...Or is it?
Back in Pennsylvania the closures
continued…
Ø Many
residents are now driving to neighboring states to buy alcohol.
Ø West
Virginia is refusing to sell liquor to anyone without a West Virginia ID.
Ø Delaware
police are pulling over out-of-state drivers and instructing them to go home.
Ø Pennsylvania’s Liquor Control Board resumed limited Online Sales
but it restricts orders to six bottles per transaction.
Ø The number of Online Orders immediately overwhelmed the site.
Ø The state now rations access to the Online Store.
Black markets thrive when the government refuses to let supply
match demand, so expect to see rum runners make a comeback.

I’ve got an idea. Let’s bring back Prohibition.
Did you just say we tried that before
and it did not work?
I was ready for you to say that and I will give you the Socialism Perfect Answer…
Prohibition Did Not Work Because It Was Not Done Right. We
Will Do It Right This Time Because We Are Smarter Than We Used To Be.
Above is the Socialism Perfect Answer for having another
crack at Prohibition. To use the Socialism Perfect Answer to advocate another
crack at Socialism the Socialism Perfect Answer must be modified to read...
Socialism Did Not Work Because It Was Not Done Right All
Those Other Times It Was Tried. We Will Do It Right This Time Because We Are Smarter
Than We Used To Be.
...Or are we?
Would I kid u?
