Ben Popken @bpopken

In March fireworks stores were staring down the barrel at a dismal lockdown summer. So they launched deep 3 for 1 discounts. Instead, interest skyrocketed. Middlemen are taking advantage, buying trunkloads and driving them into cities for their profit and our sleeplessness. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm going to change my clothes from quarantine comfort to biz casual. Maybe just paranoia but I feel like the cutter gives you a better haircut when you don't look like a schlub. Hair to fit the man. Gotta make this one count. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm going to get a haircut today and the risks seem manageable. I reviewed the shop's reopening plan they submitted to the city. The barbers get thermometer checked and tested. Everything disinfected. Everyone wears masks. Fingers crossed. — PolitiTweet.org

It's a poorly kept secret that states selling loud aerial fireworks are next to states where it's illegal. Some of the stores sit right across the the state line in clusters by interstate highways. https://t.co/A0lCU9Vjvb — PolitiTweet.org

Fireworks sellers thought lockdowns would kill their sales — but 2020 could be the best year ever. Just ask your neighbor. https://t.co/9PSzLt3NjQ — PolitiTweet.org
