As a certified Booze hound, I love bars as anyone else, but bars are not important, there are other more creative ways to get hammered and meet people. Just think outside the box. If you think life is over because bars are closed... well, you got some soul searching to do.
Bars are important... to the people who own and work in them. Let’s use some empathy around here!
Maybe back in June, but it's January now and it's too cold to drink outside + having indoor parties is considered irresponsible.
I'm also in my 20s, not a Gen Xer with a wife and kids.
I've got about a decade on you if not more so I'm not a drinker like I used to be. I gave the whole indoor and outdoor dining thing a try in numerous states. Maybe it's just me but I feel like they've made in not fun anymore. We're talking about everything from high end fine dining to hole in the wall frozen food to crappy bars to expensive top of the line wine bars. Might be just me. When I go out to a lot of these places it feels like I'm holding my dying dog in my arms and can't do a thing to save him. Crappy feeling for sure.
This is what your main man tweeted yesterday: "We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely."
What a plan. Covid rates are higher now then when he shut down in March. People returning to work are petrified in crowded trains with irresponsible imbeciles still not wearing masks properly. His state workers are quarantining everywhere. But let's open everything because the answer lies with pot smokers and gambling addicts to save the day.
The election is over, which is what AC was waiting for. It doesn't matter. NYC and NY are cooked. Too much economic carnage. It will never be 2019 again in NYC or NY's economy. It will be far closer to what we have seen the last 9 months, if not worse.
