Alex and Fara were toasting the holidays, with one last outdoor brunch.

"We're trying to enjoy the last few minutes of eating outside before lockdown," said Alex Villafuerte.

Server Raul Flores was setting up tables at Sotto Mare restaurant, he's being laid off until January.

"It's my only job, I don't have another one. I have to stay home, no parties, no family times," Flores said.

"It comes at the worst possible time, during the holidays. I think there would be less uncertainty because there's an end to the health order but I'm not certain January 4 is the day we'll return, so I'm worried about my barbers," said Polisky.

This horse shit will not end on January 4th

It will, however, end when enough numb nuts organize and march on the capital armed demanding an end to this idiocy

Actually, it was “15 days to flatten the curve”, that was their original con job. That curve gets any flatter, it will resemble Ann Coulter’s chest.

Unfortunately, the voters voted for these control freaks and that’s what they got. It’s unfortunate for the few people who did not vote for them.

My old hairdresser in San Jose has lost her business and her home. I just moved out of San Jose this summer, and she was my hairdresser for over 15 years. She’s a single mom. I feel terrible for her.

Only 9 months from “flatten the curve”. What a lie.

Remember when people like me warned you Californians not to vote that way and you called us racists? :)

“My old hairdresser in San Jose has lost her business and her home. I just moved out of San Jose this summer, and she was my hairdresser for over 15 years. She’s a single mom. I feel terrible for her.”

It is amazing to my wife and some of our female friends how sexist and damaging these shut downs have been to the women who own or work in these businesses.

If a Trump person/governor/mayor did 2% of these anti women Covid actions, the media would not shut up about it.

California’s Governor ChiXi Gruesome/Neusome, the hair gelled leader of the California French Laundry Elite Democrats, does what he wants to do with minimal blow back.

And when he runs for President, he'll still get 60% of the female vote without even trying. "He looks like he's nice" after all.

California is a failed state. Time to get out.

I've seen Ann in person. She's skinny, but not flat chested.

Everybody needs to just go out there and open for business. The problem is that the government and media have shut off the channels of communication so this can’t be organized or coordinated, and people are too scared to do it on their own.

Only 9 months ago, who knew we’d be living in fear of the jackboots in our own country?.

Agree this does not end until we remove our masks and say enough is enough!

Only jobs left seem to be:

brutal warehouse distribution jobs at Amazon fulfillment centers or seasonal jobs at UPS or FedEx,
part-time minimum wage retail, grocery or fast-food jobs, or
Sub-minimum wage gig economy delivery work.

All of which you can’t survive on.

All social media ban any of this, that go against Chinese, er Newsome’s edicts including web hosting companies (Wordpress comes to mind)

Marketing channels are severely restricted.

I call these people future Republicans. Gavin Newsom may be the best thing to happen to the CA GOP in decades.

Yes, and then get behind the bar and start serving. Or go out there and start Mass or whatever your religious service is and tell these goons to go...well, you get the idea.

We need to stand up to this. I live in Florida where our governor is great but some of our mayors...including RINO Mayor Lenny Curry of JAX ...are awful and try to undermine the governor at every step of the way. I don’t bother with Lenny’s diktats (which DeSantis made unenforceable anyway, but the Karens love them) but we need to have a bigger uprising. Florida Man and Florida Woman owe it to the rest of the country!

The major problem is that they have forbidden gathering and communication. So how are we to know when and where to gather?
