Virginia and North Carolina both have State run liquor store monopolies. No private stores can sell liquor.
Now North Carolina and Virginia have gone into lock-down ordering businesses like hair salons and bowling alleys to close.
Yet both states exempted their liquor stores.
Am I crazy to think this is so wrong?
Closing private businesses but allowing their own monopolies to remain open to the public seems ignorant.
I think that state mandated closed businesses have a legitimate beef here. Perhaps a legal dispute.
We need to make sure that people stay healthy and not drunk during a state of emergency.
The liquor stores close during hurricanes but stay open during a medical emergency. That is ludicrous.
My feeling is that we should also stop the sales of cigarettes. Last thing we need during a medical crisis is people polluting their lungs.
