LOL. Eliminate cap gains tax. That's great.

Alternative proposal: increase cap gains tax to be the same as income tax.

Demote Florida to penal colony status, grant statehood to DC and PR. A man can dream...

Fatty is really pushing the “eat for free” line. Guess he figures he will expense all his meals at the club ;)

Mini-golf COULD open, and also practice social distancing. Follow the same rules as golf courses. FRT, I only played par 72 courses, sometimes with real greens. There is enough space.

If it's indoors I disagree. Outdoors maybe but screw it it isn't needed.

I have never been in indoor courses.I can't answer to that.

The outdoor ones, there can be distance, I didn't do any of that windmill crap. ;) There can be room. They don't NEED to be open, but if they are safe, go for it.

I know. There are also things called "conditions" to settle the lawsuit. A compromise. Let's roll with whatever helps overall. :)

Teens in need of an excuse for a f-cking date disagree.

Won't someone think of the children?

Is this condition you’re referring to covid-19? Cause then it would make sense!

Not exactly. Safe spacing, employees wearing PPE. C19 is the cause, but the conditions clause is a safety plan in place, as Guv Walz is implementing.

Then, shut everything down except hospitals and care centers. Everything. Let the economy rot, and deal with people going bankrupt and maybe committing suicide, or others starving to death, etc etc.

There has to some balance. Has to be. That's the tough decision that no one wants to make. They are trying, little by little. There is no good solution to this. None.

But there are better and worse solutions and reopening while the death rate is climbing with insufficient testing is among the worst imaginable solutions.
