Casino or Casin-Yes?

Gov Half-Whit's order shut down all the casinos across Michigan.

This was but one of the many hits to the economy from her orders.

Unsurprisingly, The City of Detroit relies on the taxes form those casinos - to the tune of $170 Million per year - it's the city's most stable revenue source. This makes it more urgent as its not just small businesses getting hammered, its the city's and state's revenue that will suffer.

They're all shut down, with no clue as to when under the governor's arbitrary reopening plan - a plan that is very specific in how very unspecific it is - that they might reopen.

But the tribal casinos are starting to reopen now, and considering the tribal casinos are under separate sovereignty rules, they don't have to wait for the governor's grace to do so.

Good for them. I think Michigan's residents have had enough of these arbitrary and capricious shut downs, and people need to get back to work, or in many cases there won't be work to get back to for them. The curve is more than flat, and this continued lockdown is causing more harm than good.

I've noticed the D after her name doesn't appear to mean Democratic, rather it seems to indicate Dictator. I believe that to be a more accurate description of her (and others) belief system.

Hear me and obey, Peasant!
