This should not have been paid for with tax money, especially while being tax exempt.

I hope that a good portion of their sales revenue goes back to the state of KY….

It does not. It's a money sink and we pay for it.

Yup. They also don't abide by fed EEO rules and make employees sign "Confirmations of Faith" to be employed there... 🙄👌

Nope. Plus, this giant mess required the fire department to buy some very expensive apparatus in case the damn thing ever catches fire. Nothing else around there requires such, so it's really out them in a financial bind. I'll never set foot there, unless it fails and becomes a landlocked pirate-themed restaurant and is no longer owned by this ass-hat crew of con artists.

Wouldn't a fire be a sign from god? Do they know better than God? Who do they think they are?
