Why is CA (law wise) such a shitty state?

[Nick Young]

PA is the same way except that they limit beer distribution too. Can't pick-up a 6 pack at most supermarkets and they don't sell beer at convenience stores/gas stations.

I moved to a part of Pittsburgh that has probably 50+ bars within walking distance. Problem solved.

Whew.

Indiana is the only state that won't sell beer on Sundays. Pretty retarded. Just do like me and stock up Saturday night.

uhm........ You sure on that? Do you mean just beer or liquor/wine/etc?


Most states have stupid blue laws.

Yeah, Indiana will not allow beer/liquor/wine sales on Sunday (except for bars). So you either have to stock up Saturday night or go to a bar on Sunday.

I live in Indiana still has the dry state law on Sundays. The **** is that? How many other states still do that? I drive 20 - 30 minutes to Michigan or Illinois on Sunday for beer.

FL only has like 1 or 2 dry counties and they're both in the Panhandle region (near the alabama border).

I honestly couldn't imagine how anyone could live in a state where the vast majority of the land (or even the entirety like your example) was under those rules.

I like the overtime laws there....by day instead of by week. I was killing it when I was putting in 24 hrs when I worked in bake-o.

What's the big deal? Can't go one day without drinking?

We had pretty hard core blue laws in CT for a long time. No booze, just beer in Grocery stores, which I think isn't illegal anymore, but still no one carries booze. No liquor stores open on Sundays, or hollidays, and all closed at 8pm. Bars close at 1am Sunday through Thursday. 2am Friday and Saturday.

Now they've changed it so that the liquor stores can be open on holidays and Sundays, which most are.

I'm about an hour outside of NY, and I know that those laws killed a few people. Because the NY bars stay open until 4am. And they have more access to booze. So I know more than my share of people who scampered out of CT bars looking for more fun and drove their way across the border only to have had to make it back after 4. Had the CT bars just stayed open, it would've kept people who were already going to make bad decisions keep from doing it with a commute.

And when my father was young, the drinking age in NY was only 18, but 21 in CT, which I'm sure was a huge problem.

[JebronLames]

Age of consent is 18

Only 16 in my state.

Here in Massachusetts, anytime over 12 hours in a day you get OT for anything after 8 hours so it ends up being 8 regular paid plus 4 OT pay.

At my old workplace, if I was doing at least 12, I always punch out 15-30 minutes after just to get that 4+ hours of OT. My current employers don't use punch clocks, so I can't do that. Only way to get OT is if I doing 16.

I got a union job so anytime after 8 hours is OT and on sundays its time and a half or doubletime on holidays.

**** no and the government shouldn't tell me that regardless.
