Great American State Fair Postponed

[Wiz Imp]

There were actually some people there today. Not a lot, but it wasn't totally empty like previous days. No word on what happened to cause the shutdown.

UPDATE: Apparently shut down due to the heat.

1. Maybe the heat? (n/t)

Just in case:

6. So, what are these people to do in the meantime? Sit in their hot cars?

Find a diner? Mill around outside the fairgrounds?

Why wouldn't they just stay open for their comfort instead of forcing them to find a place to go for now?

7. My Guess is Liability Reasons

They don’t want people dropping dead of heat exhaustion. They probably don’t have the free water and cooling stations available yet at the fair. Most people at the fair won’t have cars to go back to since the bulk of them probably took Metro. There are lots of places to eat around there, but attendees may not want or need to eat. I think the museums are still open today and there are plenty of them to see; that would be my first choice.

9. Because the whole shutdown was pre-planned to cover the grift?

... “By the way, on July 4th, it’s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I’m going to go, and I’m going to make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything,” Trump said ... https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5950451-july-4th-trump-rally-heat/

There was no way in hell Trump planned to give a two hour speech iat 107 degrees on a ramshackle stage that's likely to kill somebody

10. Isn't that speech scheduled for tomorrow night?

Haven't heard yet that that's been cancelled.

[struggle4progress]

11. Yes. He said he expects it to be 107 and he'll talk for two hours.

Ya think Donny gonna stand two hour in the heat on a shoddy stage that has stuff falling out of the rafters, then please let me know if ya want a good price on a used bridge cuz I know a guy what'll sell it to ya

8. It's the grift: give the grifters the money, expect minimal return

If you're really planning a huge event on the mall in July, you organize adequate food, water, medical response, toilets ...

If you're just pretending to organize a huge event, you don't organize adequate food, water, medical response, toilets ... you just cancel at the last minute "due to the heat"

Grifters will grift
