This is the kind of thing that really pisses me off. And it typically takes a lot.


Garcetti and Newsom are absolutely responsible for this.

This is right down the street from my house and one of the restaurants I was talking about when Murray tried to convince us that restaurants were doing more business than ever.

Somebody mentioned in another thread and is total bullshit, somebody greased some palms or knobs were polished by the studio.
I would have got 2 5 gal cans of gas and fixed the issue myself....

I don’t live where you live. Pretty sure I said “around here “ or something like that.

Can you not order pickup or delivery to help support them?

Same bullshit going on here.

Woman was on the news last weekend trying to have curbside pickup for her small store and the bi-law officers were right there making sure no one went inside to use the credit/debit machine, meanwhile a few doors down major nationwide coffee chain had people coming and going like shit was normal.

Then when people protest by opening up they put them in jail, lock up their businesses, and ruin their lives.

Some ****ed up shit going on all over the world here.

Line-ups all day long at Costco but small businesses can't have a single person inside.

Logic; not even once.

Caught this today and I'm livid. I'm not a denier, and I'm pretty much a live and let live person. The king and his prince are freaking out of control. BOHICA at its finest.

Fk'ing Gil Garcetti gets his palms greased by the LIBERAL MOONBAT movie industry. He's fk'ed up L.A county with Maxine Waters. We don't put up with that sh*t right next door in Orange Co.
If i was her, i'd open up my business and I would go there and eat.

Yes, you can order pickup. You missed the entire point of the post, so let me help.

If you're a small business owner (restaurants, salons, etc.), you're on your own. If you have big money, and pay big taxes sucking the mayor and gov's dick, you're fine and can go on living your fine life.

Still waiting to see if Newsom's wineries close...

Open up the restaurants. What are they going to do arrest 15 million people and 500k businesses They tried the curfew here in HB we said Fk them. What are they going to do, arrest 220k people. The Cops don't care. They can't stand Garcetti and Newsom.

Studios own politicians. It helps them break labor laws, get permission to film, close streets etc.

Her grill has very little to offer the city.

In addition, the Walmarts, Chiles, Outbacks, of the country are politically connected at their corporate level. The goal is to drive the privately owned business out of business and nurture the relationships with the big guys. Far more influence can be had when there are millions of dollars vs hundreds of dollars being played.

I’m pretty sure you didn’t. This is what you said. See how the government is helping the owner of this restaurant?

I like this, but have no idea how to organize. Ideas? And I agree that the police are just laughing at this shit. Same here in El Segundo, but LA threatens to pull licenses and put them out of business.

This burns me up, too. Can’t we find 1-2000 people to blockade that outdoor movie dining facility? Nobody goes in or out. Block the parking area with some big trucks. And wineries can catch fire, can’t they? There seem to be a lot of forest fires around there.
It’s long past time to take back our country.

Do the people really elect them, or do a few people elect them with the help of Dominion Voting Systems and blm poll workers? Serious question.

All this alleged fraud.....if even some of it is true, it begs the question, was this the first time this coordinated fraud has been done here in the US?

Getting some help from good places. Not in LA county, but a pretty reasonable approach.
