The food is usually pretty good, but a 5oz sirloin? Really. lol. That said, they may be a "go to" if the food supply gets more constrained but if you look at their current stock of ribeyes? All sold out. Shit just go real yo. I don't see 4-5oz steaks, I see 2-10 oz steaks. Adapt and improvise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,134 Posted April 13, 2020 Speaking of meat. May want to stock up if you haven't already. One of the largest pork processing factory just closed down. While this one plant only accounts for about 5% of pork production other meat producers have also been closed or working with reduced staff. https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2020-04-13/smithfield-foods-closes-south-dakota-processing-plant-after-employees-test-positive-for-coronavirus 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WEAR PANTS IN PUBLIC FOR OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET CHARGED WITH INDECENT EXPOSURE. Have you been bitching about the fact that you can't walk into the supermarket with no pants on for the past 50 years as well? Go out of your house, breath the fresh air, you are going to see dozens of people NOT wearing masks just like I do, no cops arresting them in the streets or gunning people down.

The constitution does not protect your self supposed right to go to church, or the bowling alley or your local bar to drink your ass off. The 1st amendment protects your right to practice religion by way of "Congress shall make no law respecting an" and as such, no law has been passed that is violating that right. As I have told you before, curfews are protected by the constitution, and no one is being arrested or beaten and gunned down in the streets for being out past 8pm. AT MOST, even the state police have stated that the most you could be charged with is disorderly conduct. And once again, as I said there is processes in place IN THE CONSTITUTION YOU SO VALUE that protect again a state overstepping its police powers authority which is why murphy was forced to allow gun stores to do business again.

She can ask, the guy can say sure, there you go but she ain't getting it back. If the congress or even the state legislature moved to make any of these restrictions permanent, then you have to start worrying. Right now the powers that are being used are within the states powers defined by the constitution by in large, and the ones that aren't, as I have repeatedly said, are being challenged in the higher courts. Plus I cannot in at least recent history remember a time where emergency declarations and police powers have been used to such an extent. Obviously we look to the guidance of court rulings to determine where the boundaries are. There are already a lot of cases that set precedent on what can and cannot be done. For instance the court has over ruled the governor of Kansas who was restricting religious gatherings and no doubt that case will be cited elsewhere. 1 minute ago, PeteF said: Try reading. 1st Impeding the free exercise of religion Churches are closed.
