‘They Hate Us for Our Freedom’

I used to be a twice-a-week cigar smoker during the last cigar boom of
1995–2004. (I stopped because new cigar manufacturers jumped into the
market, flooding it with lower quality cigars. Even the established cigar
manufacturersincluding those in Cubawere rushing cigars of lower
quality out into the market.)
A pleasant perk of the finer cigar stores that I patronized here in Nazi
York City was the espresso/cappuccino/coffee machine that customers could
use for free while they enjoyed their cigars in the store's smoking
lounge.
After almost nine years, I decided to give cigars a try again. I noticed
that the espresso/cappuccino/coffee machine in the first store I
revisited was shut down. I was puzzled, so I asked the owner of the store
why he no longer offered free coffee. The reason he no longer offered
free coffee is because the Nazis of Nazi York City
have decided that in order to serve any sort of food or beverage in
an establishment, the store has to have a permit. The catch, of course,
is that here in Nazi York City you cannot smoke in an eating or
drinking (e.g., bar, nightclub) establishment. In other words, if a cigar
store serves any sort of food or beverage (even though it's FREE), it can
no longer allow smoking in the store!!
Pretty soon we'll be hating them for their freedom.

David: Now I understand the Republican mindset: If "they" (the
"bad guys") hate us for our freedom and thus want to destroy
us, taking away such freedom will deprive the "bad guys" of any
reason to attack us! Being thoroughly dominated and enslaved by the
corporate-state, in other words, is a form of national defense! I haven't
appreciated the depths of their thinking. I just thought the GOP crowd
was nothing more than a gang of unprincipled thugs prepared to use any
amount of lies, contradictions, and violence to serve their
ends!
Actually, It's Even More
Ridiculous Than I Thought

In a previous post, I mentioned that cigar stores in Nazi York City can
no longer serve free coffee to their customers. But I just remembered
something: A customer may bring in his own coffee (or any other beverage)
to enjoy while smoking his cigar. It's just that the store itself cannot
serve its own free coffee to a customer.
