Government officials are being subjectively restrictive and hypocritical at times. Gavin Newsom, London Breed, San Licarrdo are violating their own guidance. Meanwhile people are unemployed and losing their businesses without getting any support. The stock market bailed out by the Fed reaches new highs.

Meanwhile, Congress is working hard to ensure that we are all competitive.

Into the arena for the glory of Rome, I guess. (“Competition”)

The situation with these politicians you mentioned and others before is completely unacceptable in my view and should lead to resignations. The number one principle should be to lead by example. If leaders don't do this people will become cynical very quickly and society erodes. The same could be said for business executives receiving huge bonuses while running a company into the ground.

It's useless to go shooting at the nearby targets because the target you need to shoot at isn't convenient.

1) California is the way it is because a whole shitload of people won't take even simple precautions. The Bay Area shows what California could be. If everybody took the precautions seriously, things would be opening instead of closing. In particular, the restaurants are suffering precisely because of the kind of people who want to go to restaurants but won't obey restrictions.

2) The governors cannot print money and are looking at a budget Armageddon coming up--no matter WHAT they do it's going to suck. The Federal government CAN print money--and is shoveling it at the rich.

Go harass the Senate Republicans. History suggests tar and feathers are effective.
