The mayor of Las Vegas, Carolyn Goodman, appeared on CNN on Wednesday afternoon to discuss with Anderson Cooper how she wants all of her city’s casinos to reopen during the COVID-19 outbreak.
and I know over the years, going back to the 1950s with the atomic bomb, ‘Don’t worry about more testing in Nevada. You’ll all be fine. Take a shower.'”
For one, she isn’t even in charge of the strip, so she can’t do anything other than try and score points with the Breitbart-QAnon crowd with this nonsense. Secondly, she seems like she has been drinking. I can’t believe that is a sober person of any responsibility being at best purposely obtuse, if not plainly stupid.
One of my kids is a bartender in LV (not on the strip but in a sports bar North of downtown). Ironically she was about to give notice because she had grown tired of the job after 10 years (not that place which was good to the employees, but bartending in general) when everything closed so she can get unemployment. But that mayor’s attitude and ignorance is something she dealt with pretty regularly from many of the local barflies and is in large part what was driving her from the biz. As far as Vegas goes, well at least the folks going to the big strip casinos are all locals who have a tremendous amount of respect for one another.
