The PLCB is the most corrupt organization in alcohol sales since the mafia. They brought in an external, private sector, person to run their business and after 5 minutes of speaking with him he spewed so much garbage that I knew all residents and tourists of PA were fucked. PA has some extremely ass-backwards feelings towards alcohol and this asshole understood that their monopolistic control over the system means extreme profits. Fuck the PLCB!

Oregons is the same and now regulates marijuana as well. Director was fired for directing rare private vintages and supplies to his friends last year. Absolute cobweb organization, need a good razing.

I don't understand why we can't have some moderation in organizational structure: just somewhere between "quarterly layoffs for exec bonuses" and "lifers for public pension" doesn't seem like that huge of an ask for the rest of us.

The same fucking piece of shit that's fighting tooth and nail to cripple medical access and keep recreational use out of PA. I hope that fucker catches a dose.

Huge profits for the state, but (simultaneously) low prices for consumers.
