This was the other day.
This Plexiglass is even more effective than the TSA security theater. Excellent. The sheeple love it, and they gladly do what they’re told.

Your condescension and arrogance toward other people are not an attractive combination. You can sneer all you like, but people will tend to trust protective, widely prescribed measures, even if the measures are less than 100% effective. Sorry if you have to find solace in denial and resentment that people go along with public health policy.

I do think the plexiglass shown above for poker tables is ludicrous as a gaming environmental measure, but if folks take comfort in it, wear masks, and practice social distancing, there is not much more to do once a decision is made to re-open live poker.

(btw, not a lot of hijackings since post-911 security protocols were adopted. Find a better example, or maybe you don't believe those 911 incidents took place ?)

help me understand the 9/11 analogy...

so these new security measures in place in casinos are going to stop people from ever getting sick again? since there have been no terrorist attacks since?

maybe somehow you should have related your answer to the Holocaust?

i don't know I'm just trying to help you...

I can confirm PA will open without poker rooms. I wouldn't take this as precedent for other states to follow, though. Inasmuch as all politicians do things for political gain, our governor Tom Wolf, is not capable of making a decision that is correct, good for people, betters the economy, etc... He is only capable of doing things for political gain, only.

A good example is the fact that he does not like the leadership in a certain county here in Western PA, he chose to open up the economy county by county and every county around that particular opened up without them. He cited the number of Covid cases as being the reason. He chose to ignore the reason that county had so many cases is because of one nursing home that has been a problem for years. Literally 91% of the deaths in the county were at that nursing home, yet (because he and the county leadership don't get along) all the business in that county suffered and had to wait.

They literally had to send in the National Guard to get that nursing home under control.

Wolf is the definition of a politician, through and through. We won't have live poker here, but don't take that as the normal for everyone else going forward.

Ask Shrimpbucket about what he deemed "TSA security theater".

That was his analogy. I just responded that his analogy undercut rather than supported his theme.

Try and keep up, okay ?
