This is spreading like wildfire on the Internet...

A video of a woman that specifically set her business up for outdoor dining, which was shut down due to Gov Newsome and the local mayor, however, in the same parking lot...they approved of an outdoor area for a movie company just adjacent to where her outdoor dining was shut down.

Ok, I don't watch vids on the computer - is she saying it's okay for the movie co. to sit outside in public but not her patrons?

Yeah, it seems unfair, but to be honest, I think most restaurants are having a hard time right now, regardless. Even if she has outdoor dinning, she's not going to get pre-pandemic capacity seating.

Here's the actual news story about banned outdoor dining in LA https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-30/garcetti-la-restaurants-outdoor-dining-ban-coronavirus

It's a three week ban.

Someone will no doubt do a study but serving acohol was one of the factors here in the virus second wave.

People are very frustrated trying to keep going. LA is also giving restaurant workers $800 payments to try to help https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-mayor-garcetti-to-deliver-covid-19-briefing-as-regions-hospitalizations-reach-record-high/

I think it's just very frustrating for millions of people right now.

Absolutely. It is a bad situation......I just don't see how a lot of restaurants are going to survive. I miss dinning out too.....but I eat in mostly these days due to the scare.

I do an occasional pick up but it's no fun for me going out to eat, especially where I live if I have to encounter a small but hard core group of  'Covid-deniers' as part of the process. Restaurants are being asked ( by Houston mayor and our county judge ) to lower capacity temporarily here, before we have another shutdown. The governor has said we won't but it will be inevitable if people won't 'police' themselves.

We've had new restaurants open up here even during the pandemic, but many have also gone out of business. So many had just recovered from the Harvey flooding too.

I tried to argue that as well.......even 3 weeks is bad. She even said she won't be getting financial support.

It's very sad. We need a complete overhall of our welfare system before anything like this ever happens again, and definitely the Small Business Administration which just seems to get 'cherry picked' by large corporations who then shed the jobs anyway. 

This lady is the perfect example of who those business loans were meant for but if it's anything like Texas- every time any money is released it's gone-in huge chunks apparently to large corporations who could survive without it- within days. 

I'm very interested to see if there's a legal loophole too to get out of repayment for the larger businesses.
