Economy LA Restaurant Owner Angela Marsden

In b4 Newsom and Garcetti throw a fundraiser party in the tent outside this lady's restaurant.
 
Until people stuck together and open everything up, this shit will not change....They have the control only because people give it to them willingly...shame..
 
I don't blame them either and I can believe they're struggling. I still talk to a ton of my friends up north of Seattle in the service industry and they're all struggling.

Still doesn't change the fact that the rules as laid out don't make any sense to me. Can't eat inside, but go ahead and eat outside.... in a wall tent... right next to each other like you would inside.....


that's what I'm saying...

thankfully...I'm fortunate enough to have to capability to telecommute, and I still do go into work several days a week and still have my same wage.

many of my friends have not had the same luxury, they have either taken big time pay cuts, or been laid off.
 
It was apparently catering for an NBC production. You'll never guess which network deceitfully edited her video, and then mocked her for not caring about COVID.

Wow... You're right... Fucking slimeballs

NBC accused of 'deceitful' editing of angry California restaurant owner's viral video
https://www.foxnews.com/media/nbc-accused-of-deceitful-editing-california

NBC’s “Sunday Today” aired a segment about businesses suffering from coronavirus lockdowns and used part of Marsden’s viral video but didn’t inform viewers why she was worked up, according to the Media Research Center.

“Reporter Meagan Fitzgerald deceptively edited out Marsden pointing to the hypocrisy with the tents and tables. Worse yet, NBC covered up the fact that the catering was for NBC’s comedy show, ‘Good Girls,’” MRC analyst Nicholas Fondacaro wrote.

The shutdown at the Pineapple Hill Grill & Saloon in the city’s Sherman Oaks neighborhood came amid a county-ordered ban on outdoor dining, a mayor-issued stay-at-home order, and California state-level plans for business shutdowns if coronavirus hospitalizations hit required levels.

“Fitzgerald even chided people like Marsden as not important, declaring: ‘Businesses and livelihoods hit hard. But the toughest toll of all, is losing loved ones.’ And at no point did she disclose that the catering was for the NBC comedy show,” Fondacaro continued.
 
I hate to say it, but at some point the people need to take some responsibility for letting them get away with this. There is not even a stimulus passed in the US to help these people out, and they're still going along with it. The restaurant industry as a whole should revolt and just open up. They can't arrest everyone.

Hell, I don't even think they're going to pass a stimulus, because why the fuck would they? They've gone this long without one, and there's no revolution in the streets going on, so why spend the trillions? The people are following orders without it. Vaccine is right around the corner too. Might as well stall it out, and then just quietly put the stimulus to bed as they tell people everything will be normal soon.

Will be interesting to see if local officials reap a whirlwind over how they've handled businesses come next election cycles. Might actual see some bright red popping up in typically blue areas.
 
Another example of why you can’t trust media anymore.

it’s sad to see the complete lack of professionalism.

Does this surprise anyone? Remember when some dipshit in Turkey or Syria took this video:


Claiming it was fighting in Syria and ABC and a ton of news agencies ran with it without fact checking it.
 
Sadly I bet she still voted for newsom and biden and raised her first for blm like a good pawn. This is what being a libtard gets you lady. I feel for her, but at the same time I have hard time givijg sympathy for people in CA ESPECIALLY in major counties like LA or the Bay Area. They pushed and yelled from the top of their lungs for more "progressivism" and demonized anyone who didnt agree with them, and this is the result. enjoy it lady, you can now show off your badge of WOKE in skid row.
 
One of the things I find most disingenuous about the media coverage of Covid is the utter lack of attention paid to anything but the more directly political side of it (Politician X is holding a maskless rally, Politician Y got it) or of the death toll (every day, day in, day out), along with the puff pieces about it (crying child after losing grandma, etc). This is one side of the story.

The reality is, there are two sides of this though. How many people could give similar tearful interviews about the loss of their livelihoods/dreams? Their families falling apart due to lockdowns stripping them of everything? About family members falling back into addiction, or committing suicide? What about the global poverty that is on the rapid rise on around the world as a result of the crippled economy? It's all good and fine to say "it's because of Covid" but that's not even close to the whole story, as it's in large part due to the response to Covid. The pipeline of puff pieces, sad stories, and damning statistics is all but limited to content flowing one way when there is a tremendous amount of content providing a counter-narrative that is ignored.

Peoples' stances on this have been formed largely emotionally. For all the "we follow the science!" talk, the pro-lockdown people have a scattering of contradictory science to work with, and most of them don't even know it beyond what they're told to think about it anyway. Those emotions are being quite clearly channeled by a media that is only showing one side of the emotional story - or, at least, giving an exponential preference to one side. What I want is, for every few pieces about someone losing their life from Covid, give solid, and prominent, attention to someone who took their life, lost their business, or is suffering as a result of the response to Covid. Let's see some investigative journalism into the hundreds of thousands, probably millions, who are now starving around the globe because of this response. The media certainly isn't above thrusting tearful African children in our faces - so why not for this? Show us the human cost not just of Covid, but of the response. Give people a more complete picture and then let them channel their emotions based on a decent picture of both sides.

Frankly, I am familiar with two suicides adjacent to my own social circle in the past 6 months. My neighbours just sold their house at a loss to move out of the city because they were just starting to pull ahead before but 9 months of next to no business financially broke them. They're now renting out of city as he tries to find other work. I've seen one divorce as the family suddenly lost years of work on a business venture, have a friend who has fallen back into substance abuse as all of his support network was denied to him but suddenly he could order liquor online, delivered to his doorstep within a month of the pandemic starting. If I went by the media, none of this is a thing - I see reporting on this so rarely you would think that people were doing just dandy during the pandemic. The human cost of the government response is not insignificant. I want to see this reported on, at least a fraction as much as the human cost of virus itself. Frankly, it would probably be good for political dialogue too, as right now half the people who are so staunchly pro-lockdown think the complaints are "about a haircut" or some such shit.
 
Any and all businesses "shut down" by the pandemic should be fully compensated by the government based on what they made last year over the same period of time.

People and companies thriving in the pandemic (I'm looking at you amazon) need to share the wealth.

I'd like to see a law past that stated that the state must compensate individuals and businesses fully in the case of temporary shut-downs due to emergency.

Maybe she should close her business and work as a greeter at Walmart instead?

So... like the advice the right has always given vocal, disgruntled employees? "If you don't like your current work situation stop bitching about it and just quit. Because no one's got a gun to your head."

Jeff is just hoping Mitch The Turtle's latest COVID relief bill passes so he won't have to worry about any lawsuits filed by sick Amazon warehouse workers.
 
well, she's right.

many of these rules make zero sense.

what numerous restaurants in the King County area are doing, is setting up patio seating outside, with tents and heating lamps. this techinically is legal.

technically speaking, this is legal...but a indoor dining is not.
its retarded. around me they all need to shut down. the only people dining are jackasses who don't even believe covid is a risk. I've personally seen multiple dining guests put their servers on the spot and tell them to take off their mask and then ask why not, like they don't even understand that employees are simply representatives of business that are trying to comply with code. it's ridiculous. they need to stop the air travel and stop the dining immediately to and from areas of high risk. I'm presently sick home with covid from dealing with it.

LOL. Can you ever refrain from making your posts a "right wingers bad" rhetoric. It wasn't the right that made these ridiculous rules, since you know, it's California, a liberal shit hole.
