It wasn't a noose, plain and simple, it was a garage door pull.

To claim this was intended to be some racist statement is absurd.
A noose is a knot.  You put your hand through it, it's a garage door pull.  You put your head through it, you have a hanging.

I think we all comprehend the obvious.

This was a garage door pull, not some racist statement.  

You couldn't get your head through it if you tried.

At some point, "we" collectively need to regain some semblance of balance and perspective and sensibility and stop harping on every statue and symbol as being pejorative and racist.

This is ridiculous.  It was NOT in any way a racist symbol.

I'm kind of a glass half full person.  I'm hopeful this will lead to fewer restrictions on food service, making it easier for people to open up food and drink service without all the overhead that drives up prices and makes eating out a pretty unattractive option.
Yeah I’d say there’s a zero chance of that happening lol. That’s all done at the state and local level, and some states are just never going to change their processes and restrictions. 

In FL you should see the bullshit they have to go through with the state first,  and then the counties/cities in SoFL. Absolutely insane. 

To do anything in FL is a process. State makes it so hard. I know for comparisons sake it’s way easier in Michigan to do just about anything. I’m not sure if they’ve changed the law yet- but I know in the past that in Michigan you could be a commercial construction contractor and not even have to have a gc/builders license. They just assumed that you know what you’re doing. And then when you’re doing restaurants it’s pretty easy to get grease trap permit and approved.

In SoFL? Lol. Take you forever to get that approved if you’re in Dade county and you can’t do jackshit without gc/builder license in FL. They’ll throw you in jail here if they catch you working without one. In Michigan didn't even need one for commercial construction. Lol. And the test in Michigan is a bullshit 2 hr test that anyone can pass. The test in Florida is close to 19 hrs long and it’s hard as f**k. The average pass rate on first take is under 50% I want to say. And then you have to go through an FBI background check, and then you have to have your fingerprints filed with the state. And then you have to have a 660 FICO or better- and if you don’t they make you put up a $20,000 bond. And then you have to prove to the state you have 4 years experience in construction with 1 year of that as a foreman/project manager. In Michigan you don’t need to do any of this shit to get a license and the test is a 2 hr joke- and again you don’t even need a license if you're doing commercial.

A large part of dining out is the experience of dining out, not getting take out from some place.

I don't really relish the notion of paying $30 for a dinner for one and bringing it home, even though it would be cheaper than dining in the restaurant.

Getting filled up isn't the point.
Ya plus the type of restaurant I was talking about- the food goes bad in containers and plastic bags. It’s not some cheap Chinese garbage. The restaurant had an incredible atmosphere and the food was fresh and amazing. It’s not the same at all taking it to good. Food gets mushy and no good and there’s no atmosphere.

Hey, they started letting restaurants deliver alcohol here in Ohio.  I'm just saying, one can dream.

They started that here too, in Illinois. Only because of the China virus though. It will be repealed at some point.

MDot-

You think regulations are bad in Florida? Come work in Illinois for a year. Florida is a piece of cake compared to here.

Oh I quite agree.  A great restaurant with a great atmosphere is great.  But for every great dining experience I've had I've had three that were pretty meh.  But I also think the amount of restrictions leads to a lack of good options.  A pop up truck that serves good food and drinks could stop by a park and be awesome.  But by God we can't have open containers and we can't have just anyone selling alcohol and we must have restrictions on where trucks can operate.

We have a lot of food trucks here, or used to when folks were working.  Construction in one place has displaced them, I have not seen them of late I think because few workers are coming into town.

I found them to be rather expensive, considering, and the food was OK but not fantastic, so I quit going.  Maybe they migrated to the 'burbs.

A new noodle place just opened near us and is quite tasty, dined there last night.

I'm quite concerned at this time, with my company. New proposal opportunities have started to quiet down, particularly on the design side. That is scary, because it means construction will slow next year (it always lags design by a year). Which means very bad things for the economy here in Illinois. Even though I'm bailing out of this shithole state, I still need my business to run.

My partner wants me to start an office in Florida. I'm thinking I'd better get a move on.

Yeah, I can see how we had a period of grace with the Fed and suspension of rent etc. and now .... bad things could spiral.
