Its all-out class warfare in the Hamptons.
The year-round residents, the locals who serve and clean and landscape for the super-rich in the summertime and put up with all manner of entitlement and terrible behavior in exchange for good money are silent no more.
Theres not a vegetable to be found in this town right now, says one resident of Springs, a working-class pocket of East Hampton. Its these elitist people who think they dont have to follow the rules.
Its not just the drastic food shortage out here. Every aspect of life, most crucially medical care, is under strain from the sudden influx of rich Manhattanites panic-fleeing, bringing along their disdain and disregard for the little people and in some cases, knowingly bringing coronavirus.
The Springs resident says her friend, a nurse out here, reported that a wealthy Manhattan woman who tested positive called tiny Southampton Hospital to say she was on her way and needed treatment.
The woman was told to stay in Manhattan.
Instead, she allegedly got on public transportation, telling no one of her condition. Then she showed up at Southampton Hospital, demanding admittance.
Someone else took a private jet to East Hampton and did not tell anybody til he landed, the resident says. Thats the most horrendous aspect. The virus is already here, and we dont have any medical resources.
Were at the end of Long Island, the tip, and waves of people are bringing this st, says lifelong Montauker James Katsipis. We should blow up the bridges. Dont let them in.

Blowing up the bridges won’t stop the elites from jetting or helicoptering in. Or yachting in.
