Border bars are hurting
It didn't take a graduate degree in economics to predict that bars along the MI, IN, and PA borders would be hurting, and that bars on the other side would be booming, as the result of Ohio's smoking ban. It's just another case of moralism trumping people's livelihoods, just like Hope Taft's war against the pre-made Jello shot guy. But this time it's the sacred will of da peepul that Debbie Longley's hours be cut by 3/5. Suck it up, Deb; this is democracy.
And in related news, the university's Smoking Task Force Group sent out a link for a survey at surveymonkey.com. Given that most smoking at Case is legally out of control of the University anyway, I don't know what they were looking for...maybe encouragement to make campus smoking even more restrictive. (Expel anyone caught smoking in a dorm room! Yeah, that's the ticket!) I doubt they were really interested in anyone's opinion, because the message was sent from a no-reply address, and the survey link just defaulted to www.surveymonkey.com. At least we've been warned that there's a Trash Force at work.
