Let's say you own a bar in Tarentum. You aren't allowed to serve beers. But the bar across the river in new ken can serve beers.
Or you own a beerless bar on route 22 in monroeville and someone can pound beers at north park lounge in murrysville until the cows come home.
Or you own a bar on Route 19 in Wexford, where you are a short drive from a beer mecca in cranberry.
etc. etc. etc.
Would you be pissed? Would you exercise your right to protest?

Maybe they should do something about this:This continues to be a huge issue, something unlike Covid, which I deal with almost daily.
President Trump and conservatives have repeatedly cited the possible rise of overdoses and suicides when calling for states and businesses to hurry their economic reopening. Yet, of the nearly $2.5 trillion approved for emergency relief, Congress and the Trump administration have designated only $425 million — barely more than a hundredth of 1 percent — for mental health and substance use treatment.

You are right, only the Federal government has the authority to do anything.

It's only a half mile from my place...that's not a bad idea, but I'd prefer to go to Bob's, its cheaper

Yes to both. If a bar is open in a neighboring county, the allegheny order doesn't do much.Source of the post Would you be pissed? Would you exercise your right to protest?
I'd like to see bars nationwide close, as it's becoming clear that bars/clubs cannot re-open safely. In doing that, there needs to be some sort of safety net for these owners so they are able to stay afloat.

That's the thing, though. It's still going on today, and to find disparities you don't have dig all that hard. Or at all, really.No, I read it. I know it talked about the history of the construction of those freeways, how it destroyed black neighborhoods, segregated the city, etc.
Honestly though, anything done over like 50 years ago will have some trace of racial inequality attached to it if you dig hard enough.
The LA Metro subway system was begun in the late 80s, and the construction of the Hollywood extension was part of the finale of the movie Speed (as was the construction of the 105 freeway). A large percentage of the riders on Metro are hourly service industry workers who live in the barrios and poorer neighborhoods around DTLA but work on the Westside, and use a combination of rail and buses to get to their jobs. I moved here in 1997, and the subway is only now being extended beyond mid-city...... because the main east-west line runs under Wilshire Blvd, which would take it through Beverly Hills; the residents there for 25 years refused to allow expansion into 90210, and wouldn't allow the line even if there were no stops in their neighborhood.
There was no real support for blockage of the earliest phases of the Metro rail system, which connected DTLA and Long Beach..... which goes through Watts and Compton.

I agree. I think they should be protesting the lack of government assistance as opposed to being forced to shut down for public safety.I don't blame workers and owners of bars for being pissed. It's their livelihood and the government has pretty much shut them down and not provided substantial assistance to help them keep things afloat until they open back up.

Looks like most of the protests I have seen.
3/5 don't even know how to properly wear a mask yet think opening their bars is the safe and smart thing to do...

On one side we have people who act like we can't do anything unless there are no cases and then you have people who don't want to do the bare minimum

Bars here in Washington County are open and seem busy. Hope we don't get too big of a spike.

I guess what is the end game. Because originally back in march, it was to not overwhelm the hospital system. I think that was accomplished.On one side we have people who act like we can't do anything unless there are no cases and then you have people who don't want to do the bare minimum
If it's until we get a vaccine, what if we can't get an effective one?
If it's to have it be 0, I don't know if that will happen as well.
I guess time will tell.

Who is saying the only acceptable outcome is zero cases?

No one, I'm just asking. Because the original "endgame" if you will was accomplished. Just wondering outloud what the updated end game is.Who is saying the only acceptable outcome is zero cases?

If they blocked off sections to properly social distance, I think they should open movie theaters.if bars should be open, why would we keep movie theaters closed?
