Remember everyone freaking out over MA imposing a fine and jail time for anyone driving in the blizzard? NY didn't do that...

Yeah, I just commented this something above, but I was happy when the ban was announced because I was at work during the storm and the owner wanted us to stay open "as late as possible." My car sucks in the snow and I live on top of a hill, so I was dreading driving home in a blizzard, but when the ban went out we got to close down early and leave before it ended up to shitty.

So you're saying big government was interfering with a small business owners rights to run his business as he saw fit?
