Why do they keep drawing up partisan bills knowing bytch and the rethugs won’t even bring them up for a vote? They should have given that problem solvers bill some play
theres literally nothing stopping the democrats from proposing a 2 part bill tomorrow, for another round of 1200 dollar checks and extending an extra 400 per week for unemployment. it would not only provide relief, but even win them votes

but hey, if pelosi cant present some bloated monstrosity of a bill for her and her buddies in government to loot and exploit, then it isnt worth her time :yeshrug:

this times 100, i've been saying that since the shutdowns. i'm like how are you keeping salons/nail shops closed when they can easily limit the number of clients, do contact tracing, and space them, but you reopened retail which is a free for all? same with keeping smaller gyms/fitness studios closed under the same reasoning that you'd keep a big box gym closed, one might have a class of 20 that they can cut down, the other might see 300 people an hour...wtf

i'm in the bay area so we have about another month of decent weather, but they better open indoor dining, because even if the weather is decent, it gets cold AF in the evening and as the days get shorter, you're going to have fewer folks wanting to be out at a restaurant/patio bar after 6pm
Outdoor Dining can be done in Bay Area with Heating Lamps though right?

It doesn’t get brick in the winter like NYC in the bay

it def can get into the 30's-40's at night, although the 30's is usually dead of night/early am. 40's-50's isn't pleasant - sitting there in your coat while trying to dine on food that cools rapidly due to cold weather. the Bay also gets all our rain from like nov/dec-mar, we've clearly been swinging all over the place from super rainy winters to droughts, so who knows where we end up this year, but winter when it's dark and cold by 5pm, people want to be inside establishments

I would if there wasn't Covid, I think a lot of people would tbh.

:manny:

Awww hell nah. I don't even use a coat in the winter because I'm hardly out in it. I won't get in my car until it's warmed up, walking fast as shyt from the car to the building...running old ladies over and all that. I cannot "Winter" for long and damn sure not sitting outside to eat.

:lolbron:

well it is a subtropical climate zone now

:lolbron:

I think if people don't have an option they'll go for it. It's always been popular in Europe so I think a lot of people will take to it especially people who've been won't think twice. More than just eating I think people want to ball and have fun so it's something to do and even when it was cold here last week spots were busy in Brooklyn. There's going to be propane heaters so it's not going to be awful and it barely snows anymore. I think last January or February in was 60 one day and I went to Mexican place in Williamsburg and ate outside.
