Agreed but I trust that the NY Post would report the story even handedly and wouldn't be incendiary or sensationalist about it.

If it's dangerous tomorrow, it's also dangerous now. Just get some damned takeout.

No, you will not see me dining out tonight, because I try to make my words at least somewhat consistent with my actions.

she should've gotten it to go.  being a leader takes sacrifice.  that means you might have to sit around your own kitchen table even if legally she could still do this.  politics is all about optics.

Something being illegal and something being good leadership are two different things.  Our political class has gotten so poor that they don't have a 4th grader's knowledge of leadership.

She said she thought the practice was dangerous. So dangerous as to want to ban it.

Was the chance of COVID transmission expected to suddenly increase hours after her meal?  Or did she vote to change the rules because the chance was already high, but she went out to eat after that vote anyway?

Good to see you white knighting a woman who was being served by the people she was putting on the unemployment line in the internet of public safety.

But hey, she's on "your side" so it's all good, right?

What part about her stand on how dangerous it was for anyone to dine outdoors do you not understand?

I have to somewhat retract a previous statement.  My daughter lives in her district and is very familiar with and has often met Supervisor Kuehl and says she is absolutely a wonderful person and solid administrator.  So she shouldn't "be bounced" but I do think she made a mistake and , yes it is hypocritical to make a decision based on threat of safety to workers and then go and knowingly put workers at risk when she could've just gotten take out.

Sheila Kuehl is a (openly gay) democrat who assumed her office during the Obama administration (2014). She has held public office position since 1994. All of this pre-dates the Trump administration.

Even if it was legal at the time, it still sends a message to get out and pack the restos for one final (maybe literally) dine-out meal.

I admit I always found it strange when counties/cities/countries did the whole "OK, we're closing things down...in a week" and then for that week you'd have the bars and such absolutely packed, which ends up making things even worse.

When things first closed down in New Hampshire, originally they were going to close down right AFTER St. Patrick's day. However, when the government started to see lots of posts by people in Massachusetts (which was already locked down) saying they were going to come to NH to party, they moved it and closed everything the day before. I felt bad for the restaurants that had purchased all the food for their St. Patrick's Day events, but at the same time it would have made no sense to let everyone spread it on that party day and then close down.

(Of course, cases now are far higher than they were then, and no one seems to care).

She herself started the new lockdown because eating outside was "too dangerous". Then celebrated the lockdown by eating outside. It's shiat like this that feeds the belief this is all theater and unnecessary government intervention.

Like that governor that told people not to travel for Thanksgiving Whole he was waiting for his plane to take off.

The last time I dined AT a restaurant was in March, for my birthday. It was very mediocre Mexican food. I strongly suspect that will have been the last time I eat inside a restaurant for the rest of my life.

Then why did she act just like Donald "I say one thing and do another" Trump?

Does she even have an idea of the damage that farking meal has caused? Basically, a significant portion of the LA population just said 'Well fark you and your restaurant closures." And why the hell should I care if she is gay or not (and is there a straight lesbian?) She's a farking hypocrite, like that governor who said stay at home for thanksgiving WHILE HE WAS WAITING FOR A FLIGHT.
