Thanks Privatizers...

[HUGGY]

Washinton State recently voted to privatize liquor sales and get the state out of the liquor buisness.

Results?

A bottle of your favorite hooch costs 50% more.

Availability?... Not so much. State used to stock EVERYTHING.

Private sellers? They only stock the fast movers.

Thanks to you assholes that think privatizing is better.

Did I mention how much I hate you people?

Then by all means, start your own liquor store. With your superior intellect and plan to sell products that sit on the shelf, I'm sure you'll be a smashing success.

Silly move by the State.

In NH all the liquor stores are run by the State.

Loads of revenue every year.

Dumb move by Washington State and it sounds like a real kick in the teeth for booze buyers.

Your link makes NO mention of stocks of liquor declining at private retailers. Do you have another link or proof you'd like to provide?

 

[Truthmatters]

every time we privatize things will increase in price.

It means profit has to be added to the price.

Its common fucking sense

Stupid idea to have the state running any kind of monopoly.

In every state I've been to where the state runs the racket, they both take the profit then turn around and nail you for sales tax.....And the selection in places like Utah sucks ass.

You stupid enough to believe that the state adds no profit?

What am I thinking?...Of course you are.

Half of your cost for a bottle of booze is tax, Mensa candidate.

If you really want lower prices, you want the gubmint out of it alltogether.

Mayby in other State OB but its a real money maker in NH. No State Sales tax. Folks from Maine, VT and MA flock in to buy booze in NH. No shortage of booze of any kind that I can remember. Loads of revenue every year.

You may be right about Washington State though especially if they have a sales tax.

So now only those that drink will pay the costs, how is that wrong? Why should anyone be forced to subsidize your activity?

Sounds like you should get in touch with a local chapter of AA instead.

 

[HUGGY]

How many distributors are there in the state/city?

It's a whole new system. Apparently the big box stores and the big square footage retail chains can now sell liquor. Fred Meyers, a large store chain cleared out a big aisle full of bread and stuck it in 1/4 the space over by chips and candy in preparation for hard liquor and huge profits. It hasn't shaken out totally yet. The State was forced to sell all it's locations and warehouse facilities. Some will remain open under new management ..some not.

Saw night before last on a local news that a fifth of top shelf vodka that was selling for around $22 is now goona nick ya around $35 bucks.

I seldom drink but the money and the lies that the privatizers poured all over our state like cheep wine totally bamboozled Washington voters.

You people that support privatizing are fucking idiots.

Right...But you may only have one distributor, which means that one monopoly has been replaced with another....My bet is that this is the case.

How do you know it's 50% more? I doesn't go on sale in stores until June 1st. Of course you can always go to Idaho or Oregon where it has been cheaper for years.

Also liquor stores are going to open up in the state and offer the wide varieties of alcohol, not just the fast moving stuff, just like California and Nevada.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

So, if nobody buys those $35 bottles of vodka, will the price go up or down? Will the sellers put more on the shelf or less? Will they be able to price gauge based on state funding or demand/supply?


You fucking socialists are morons.

Someone like you should go fuck yourself. I rarely drink alcohol.

The state was making money on liquor sale you fucking moron. The privatizers just saw an opportunity to really stick it to the public and dumped millions in advertizing to wrestle liquor away from the state. NOW who do you think will be REALLY paying for the advertizing?

I hope they privatize in PA...
Pa. should privatize liquor sales, Corbett report says - Philly.com

When it comes to the future of Pennsylvania's wine and liquor stores, one word applies: privatize.

So concluded a report commissioned by Gov. Corbett, finding that auctioning off the state Liquor Control Board's 600-plus retail stores, as well as its wholesale liquor operations, could raise as much as $1.6 billion.

The nearly 300-page study, conducted by Public Financial Management Inc., also noted that over the last decade, LCB profitability has shrunk as expenses rose faster than revenues. Freeing it to focus just on its role as regulator would make financial sense for the state and would stimulate the private sector, according to the report.
