I’m all for being cautious, but this new rule is stupid, defies logic, and will be the nail in the coffin for bars outside of the French quarter (which this rule was specifically aimed at).

Is this legal? How can any leader arbitrarily choose what businesses can open?

Because the first one hasn't been hung by their feet from the awning of a gas station yet.

Aren’t you 40? I personally don’t need to live next door to great bars at my age anymore. A 15 minute Uber is plenty close enough



That has nothing to do with the post I responded to.

And no I’m not 40 & I’m an infrequent drinker at that.

It’s basically to shutdown Bourbon Street. I don’t have a problem with it as long as it gets the kids back in school sooner.

Good luck with that

New Orleans benefitted with FEMA money in that they were the only major city to get wrecked during Katrina

They’re competing with the whole country now for relief.

Correct.

This is 100% intentional.

She wants this city to circle the drain, get flushed, and head out to sea with the rest of the excrement.

Then she can get her federal dollars from, I'm sure she hopes, Sleepy Joe.

Which she will, of course, grift.

yeah either we adopt MMT or Nola is in a major bind (from this and the hit to tourism the next 3-5 years)

The funny thing is she keeps pimping this “job training” the city is offering because they know federal unemployment is ending next week

Yet she is killing more jobs in a city that is already short on opportunities. So dumb

Has Nola announced about the schools yet? My kids school said they are starting on time with all students even with the current restrictions in place.

what about restaurants where you sit down and order an appetizer and drink 6 beers?


So tomorrow, I can go to a restaurant and get plastered drunk sitting at a table and having a waitress bring me alcoholic drinks.

But, I can't get to-go from that bar, order a single alcoholic drink, and take it home and drink it at home. But I can go to a store, buy alcohol, and go home and make an alcoholic drink.

It’s pretty easy even in the bar context to keep things “safe” or as best you can

Require being seated to drink, masks on all staff, close before 12 or so. That takes care of people dancing on each other or being piled up like the bars in Houston that cater to 21 year old suburban kids

The Nola.com article says it’s just for take out alcohol, doesn’t say anything about closing down bars.

And FTR, I saw her in a bar Thursday afternoon
