Everything is Fucked.

Everything is fucked.

His Excellency Governor Steve Sisolak of Nevada, whom Nevadans should vote out of office at the earliest possible opportunity, has decreed that bars in Nevada will remain closed "for the time being". MY time, in Vegas, being less than 3 weeks from now.

So unspeakably pissed. Continue punishing one aspect of the resort business while other parts just as culpable in the number of cases skate by with no restrictions. Pissed not only for my own plight, but all the bar owners and tenders who are now in no-man's-land too. How do you plan for anything as a tourist or owner or employee if there's no timeline? 

I swear I want to cancel the trip at this point just to spite this dumb ass and not give his state any of my hard earned money. The thought of going to town and spending up to $5K with the guts of the trip (for me) torn out makes me feel like I'm wasting money. In a pandemic.

I had more or less decided to go regardless, but right now my go-no go date is back on. I'm giving myself a week to stew on this. If by next Monday I haven't cooled down about it I may well cancel until I know 100% the Vegas I go to Vegas for will be working. But therein lies the rub, I could push back the trip by a few weeks but who the fuck knows when the bars will open up again? September? December? 2022? It's a fucking joke. I can't plan ahead at all.

I have a feeling there's going to be an unholy uproar about this in-state. His refusal to open bars and hold them to targeted goals like every other business is hopefully going to blow up in his face, especially since he's given no timeline for re-opening them. Not even a plan, just some nebulous "future" date. I will lend my voice to it. It's all I can do to try to salvage this trip at this point.

Fucking Christ will this year never end.
