California, restaurant owners
fighting back into new Covid 19
restrictions, put a end to
outdoor dining in certain
regions,
heaters and plexiglas keep
patrons safe outside our next
guest tells officials. His
restaurant will not shut down
again.
Andrew Ghul joins me. Thanks
for being here,
you listen to the protocols and
authorities. You follow their
guidance was now you say you
wont anymore,
why
we follow the clients all
along. We are one hundred percent on board
with the science, but this is
junk science. Zero studies prove
dining outdoors will lead to any spike in cases
any spike in cases.
This is all about politics. This
entire story is completely
marinated in hypocrisy,
especially in California.
The county supervisor voted
to ban outdoor dining, then
dining outdoor herself,
Governor Gavin Newsom, talked
about the protocols. You need
to put your mask up between
bites to eat indoors with his
friends.
Why is it they feel the rules
dont apply to them and do they
not care? Businesses like yours
are facing destruction.
I wish I had the answer to.
That
would be the most expensive
political consultant, but seems
as if number one they have
taken this very lightly when
the rest of us are taking it
incredibly seriously
to make these draconian rules
and then just break them, not
under the radar or months later,
but literally in some cases
within minutes of putting the
wool in place,
maybe they dont believe in
them in the first place,
if you stay open, what do you anticipate happening?
Anticipate happening?
I dont know
you got to figure out how these
things are interpreted locally,
what the sheriff is going to
say, etc, but at the end of the
day I hope reasonable minds
take over and we can continue
to let our diners design
outdoors was I dont to
speculate, dress up in a
lobster suit to go across the
patio.
If you look at other places,
weve seen Jim owners find
hundreds of thousands of
dollars into the restaurant
owners taken away in handcuffs.
Ultimately, they dig their heels
in.
You may be in for a battle.
