Unfortunately, those are the rules. We don’t like them but everyone else played by the rules and jumped through all kinds of hoops to go there. How is this different than elitists like Newsom at the French Laundry? I did not want to go through the Hawaii hoops so I drove over 1200 miles each way to Mt Rushmore.
Those are rules and not laws. I don’t see how one can be fined for breaking a rule.
