    Default Son, be home for 5pm for dinner, then 9pm for lights out!

    And that's about where it was for me from about 7th grade through maybe like 9th to 10th grade?

    And will that be on our horizon, at least the night one? They are talking about curfews. I read earlier that Hoboken, NJ has already instituted this policy for 10pm for everyone. Unless for an emergency or you are working, those are the rules. -- https://www.insider.com/hoboken-impl...ictions-2020-3

    And now talk of a nationwide curfew? As harsh as it sounds, not much different than entire nations shutting down.

    Trump administration discussing possible encouragement of nationwide curfew

    Washington (CNN)There are active discussions within the Trump administration to encourage a possible "curfew" across the nation in which non-essential businesses would be encouraged to close by a certain time each night in response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to an administration official and another source familiar with the matter.

    The recommendation would likely focus on malls, restaurants and bars, while grocery stores and pharmacies could be exempt from the curfew. The idea would be fashioned after the European model but would likely have to be enforced at a local level.

    The source familiar tells CNN that a curfew could be strongly encouraged at the state level.

    Vice President Mike Pence's spokeswoman Katie Miller strongly disputed that a curfew was under consideration.

    "A curfew is not on the table," she said Monday morning.

    Miller said curfews would not be part of the guidelines presented by the task force during the President's video teleconference with governors that took place later Monday morning.

    CNN’s Jim Sciutto Spreads Fake News of Nationwide Curfew

    Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary called out CNN’s Jim Sciutto Monday morning for spreading an anonymous claim that the Trump administration is considering imposing a curfew across the country.

    “New: There are active discussions within the Trump administration to encourage a possible ‘curfew’ across the nation in which non-essential businesses would have to close by a certain time each night,” Sciutto wrote on social media, citing “CNN reporting.”

    Katie Miller, Pence’s Press Secretary, responded directly to the post, which had quickly gone viral. “This is not correct,” Miller said.

    Close your business early allowing the criminals more time to loot the place? Makes sense

    I see no reason for a curfew. I remember that crap as a kid as well. Home by midnight (as an older teen). What is it anyone thinks I can't get done before midnight that I can after?
