Mayor Eric Garcetti’s latest citywide mandate imposes an even stricter set of restrictions on daily life in Los Angeles than the one issued Sunday night — and it almost certainly means the end of business for good for many restaurants and bars.

50%-75% of ALL Restaurants and Bars, Clubs,.... in Southern California will be SHUT DOWN Permanently and countless thousands of people will lose everything they own over this. It it looking like things will get pretty ugly in the months to come. I don't see how exactly they plan on putting this fire out yet and I don't see normalcy returning until the end of summer at least.

That’s the idea. Made to order. Derail the economy, hoping to derail Trump in November.

Not going to happen. The lying deceptive leftist fail again.

Too late - Trump already locked the borders and all states are falling in line for nationwide martial law - if not worldwide.

“Derail the economy, hoping to derail Trump in November.”

It will far more likely have the opposite effect - besides, isn’t CA already 90% Dem?

Hopefully, no State is going to allow people from outside to freely roam. We’ll never stop the spread if that’s allowed.

Also what about the locations they rent (normally, but some own). There will be no rental income for the landlords, who will not be able to pay of loans against the properties. The owners will also not be able to pay property taxes and also would have an excellent reason for a property tax valuation reduction!

People eat out too much. Just look at the obesity epidemic. It’s a result of food being too cheap. People can afford to eat out even if it’s fast food. The time and effort it takes to put food on the table in this century is minuscule compared to centuries past. People worked to survive back then. Perhaps the restaurant business should downscale along with the cruise business.

Subject of course to change, MO’s governor has stated that he believes that people will listen to warnings and act accordingly. He has not shut down the schools, although most schools have shut themselves down. Many restaurants are limiting to drive through/delivery but that too hasn’t been ordered. But MO only has 47 confirmed cases/1 death.

And as a bonus, The Hill neighborhood in STL has some pretty good Italian restaurants.

I agree. This will be Trump’s finest hour.

An EO simply stating that banks need to, forestall loan repayments and commercial landlords need to forestall rent - with no penalties - for 30 days would probably be enough for many small businesses to weather this to weather this.

Bank’s profits would dip but I doubt it woud drive many of them under.

Nope. Stick it out where you are. That’s all of our duty during this crisis.

Democrats hold every statewide office and have near super majorities in the state assembly and senate there. No Repukes to blame, but it won’t stop the Mexifornia RATS from blaming Trump, but he’s not the one who put the state and the city of LA on lockdown.

Yep, and 2nd half property taxes are due April 10th in California (which, of course, isn’t delaying those payment due dates)

So LA’s population is roughly 9 million; Lombardy has a population of roughly 10 million - though more spread out than LA. 350+ people died in Lombardy from the virus yesterday ... just sayin ...
