Tell me about it. I live in PA and the laws are ridiculous. The state finally relaxed the laws enough that convenience and grocery stores can sell beer and wine. In order for this to happen the store must also serve prepared food and having a seating area. So most places just add a few cheap cafe tables that nobody ever sits at. The stores are also restricted on times they can sell and quantity. In fact it wasn't until the early 2000s that PA allowed alcohol sales on Sunday. So you couldn't even get a bottle of wine for a cooking a Sunday roast.

The state also forbids anyone from shipping in hard liquor from other states. You can only buy from a list curated by the state. I saw an interesting brand of Slivovitz that looked good and filled out their request form to see if they could add it. They replied back with this statement.

Unfortunately, this product is a License only product. Meaning that only those with a Liquor License can purchase this product. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Uh what? Isn't that you?

Some sites will ship to PA until they get caught so I'll probably take the chance and order it.

But what kind of law and order? We are coming out of an administration that cultivated an image of the kindly old man who was sort of doddering. While pushing private businesses to implement policies that make Laverentiy Beria look like a friendly town constable. In some cases, worse than Mussolini's "Everything for the state."

Those sure were dark times. I recall Target asking you to wear a thin paper mask. Did you ever recover from that psychological trauma?

Anyway, it was quite easy to see where these cases where headed when you factor in this: President Donald Trump's eldest son is an adviser for both Kalshi and Polymarket and an investor in the latter. Trump's social media platform Truth Social is also launching its own cryptocurrency-based prediction market called Truth Predict.

A quick search reveals the judge in this case was of course appointed by Trump. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
