*sigh*

It is time to stop with the ‘sigh’ only reply. We appreciate it is your custom thing - and you can still doing your signature ‘sigh’ - yet with an added explanation / reason / opinion etc as to why underneath.

It will likely help fellow members understand as to what you are pertaining to - without having to ask what you mean and then wait for a later explanation - or help avoid any potential misunderstandings in between.

Others have been asked to stop with the ‘hahahaha’ type posts of late for the above reasons - and also in a bid to help with the flow and quality of conversations - the same applies to everyone, including yourself.

Just so it is clear, I was sighing the progress of the tax bill

If that is true, it is a poor way to try to get rid of unwanted businesses. Also some of these places do comply with the law that says they have to serve food and have a certain amount of seating.

The article seemed to indicate that they had been accused of flaunting this law by hurriedly setting up chairs to make it appear they were serving food.

This kind of thing crosses party lines. Conservatives often laud tough local officials who “clean up the neighborhood”. But they often do this by finding creative mechanisms for driving out certain businesses and/or people, a charge often applied to liberals. Just about anything can be spun either way.

Then more strictly enforce the rules requiring them to serve food and a certain amount of seating. Inspect the businesses more often. Raise fines for non-compliance.

Also:

During a visit Monday, Liu pointed out the benches, tables, and chairs now in the lobby and said customers could order cheesesteaks, burgers and fries.

“You can ask us to cook food, no problem, to put in bathrooms, no problem, to put out seats, no problem,” said Liu, 53, who came to the U.S. from China in 1985. “The problem is the protective glass. Because without the glass, maybe one day I would get killed.”

Well, seriously. People have this thing where one person may wonder if another can get away with something, to which the other person says “It’s a free country.” Our country is free from the oppression of tyranny in government. If you are at school and start spouting Nazi propaganda, the school can detain, suspend, or expel you. You are not protected from disciplinary action from your place of education or employment when your behavior is contrary to their guidelines.

I’m talking about behavior, not opinion. One can have whatever opinion they want, but when they share it, they open themselves to criticism. If criticism of you can cast a bad light on your employer by association, your employer is under no obligation to tolerate that.

Warbler, people have been fired from their jobs because they posted pictures of themselves drunk on Facebook. The Constitution of the United States does not protect people from that.
