Government shutdown in Minnesota leads to shortage of alcohol and cigarettes.

Someone had best take action quickly, before this leads to rioting in the streets.

Oh, and I don't mean to make light of the people being hurt by this. Losing a job, especially in today's economy is not at all humorous.

[General Zod]

Stupid fucktard politicians. Dumbfucks can't agree,and look what happens.

 

[TropicThunder]

You joke but the sad thing is , in today's society I really wouldn't be surprised if people start looting .

 

[Gothika]

Well, bars, restaurants and stores don't have that option if they want to stay in business.

Understood my friend. I really can't see this stalemate lasting long enough to create a significant black market. The good people of Minnesota won't stand for it I'm sure.

There's also a ton of beer that's going to be pulled from the shelves since in Minnesota you have to register the label every three years. I feel bad for any of the small breweries that are going to be hit by this.

All the state parks and such were closed and no fishing licences can be issued. That's hitting the tourist towns real hard. I hope things get resolved real fast or things are going to get way way worse.

I can see there being a Capone syndicate in the making, just as there was for the prohibition days.

Where theres a will to smoke, theres a way for someone else to profit.
