| #11 Surprised DeBlasio is not collecting taxes (some may call them 'fees') from out-of-towners at these checkpoints yet. |

| #7 Spent a lot of time in NYC. If you have business there, legitimate or otherwise, perhaps you need to go there. If it's about your skinny jeans and hipster beard, not so much. |

| #2 Seems this might not be constitutional. The problem in NY seems to be more intenal than external, and this seems like deflection. And how do truckers, bus drivers and couriers fit into this? Essential workers? |
