No, it’s for Coronavirus quarantine - Newsome is an idiot, but the hotels are really hurting and I think this was probably more to support the hotel than anything else. Most people in CA who get diagnosed with Wuhan are probably middle to upper class (the “homeless” probably have it raging through them, but nobody would notice).

I was in a luxury hotel in Charleston today to go to the nearly empty restaurant and one of the people in the shops told us that occupancy was in the single digits. That’s 5 or 6 rooms for a huge and very elegant, fun hotel. The hotel and travel industries are suffering and I hope there’s some plan to help them.

But of course, if Newsome has anything to do with it, the hotel is connected to his family money. He’s the nephew of the lunatic Pelosi.

Imagine the cleanup required to make the rooms habitable for paying guests

“Relax,” said the night man. “We are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”

Ultimately, yes. This may be a test for that.

Some on the far-left have suggested the government should take over vacant hotels and apartments to house homeless and asylum seekers.

Why not take over some of the idle cruise ships? At least they could take them out and sink them.

This is why I will not get tested unless I’m already in a hospital. You test positive and you’ll get tossed into some flea bag hotel. Sorry but I’d rather die.

Mini Doc: Fleeing California

Why are people leaving California and moving to other states? What do those states have that California doesn’t? PragerU’s first mini-documentary explores the root causes of this mass exodus from the Golden State. “Fleeing California,” featuring PragerU’s own Will Witt, sheds light on one of the most significant but underreported stories of our time.

Would make more sense to take over government buildings. No one is working there anyway.

> Good Grief.....you must be a Girl... <

I am a little disappointed that you began you post to me with what I assume you meant to be an insult. That’s usually a counterproductive way to start a conversion among FRiends.

Anyway, I am quite suspicious of Gov. Newsom’s motives here. It looks like an illegal power grab. But I will not automatically assume the worst until more evidence is in.

I don’t know but this seems like a positive. I may hold my recall petition for a couple more weeks. Gavin has also been seen giving credit to Trump too.

It looks like an illegal power grab.

That and a taking under the fifth amendment.
