"It sucks because we just put this up and it's like all new and everything," says Jasmine Kamali of 71 Saint Peter Restaurant on San Pedro Street in San Jose.

Sadness among many workers who will now be out of a job. Those like Ann Truong at O Beauty Studio who is already five months behind on her rent.

"If this closing keeps happening I can't afford to pay rent, I might have to close down my business and take the loss," says Truong.

San Francisco deserves all that happens.

“Some though are not so concerned about the employees, like the large group who ate at The Old Wagon Saloon & Grill Sunday. They spent $400 and left no tip on the last night before restaurants here go to takeout only.”

Remember when people like me warned you Californians not to vote that way and you laughed and sneered and gave us the finger and did it anyway? :)

Great deep-state strategy: force businesses to go bankrupt and then hand out oodles taxpayer money to save them.

What if they WANT small businesses to fail so they can have Communism? Then would you still be sad? How about VERY VERY ANGRY at being jerked around by an abusive spouse.

And when that happens, the stores will all give the finger to this Petty Dictator and open.

California has been taken over by - the Dominion Voting machine scam and Lefties. Last vote for Governor they listed TWO lefties and no Republicans/ who mysteriously somenow had not made it to the finals. It is so wrong.

Please don’t slander We the People of California unless you also hold YOURSELF responsible for Trump’s win in this election being STOLEN by Dominion + lefties. We did our part in good faith, but the Commies are determined.

Bc the Constitution does not have laws for ‘And what if Communists try to take over?’ - it is uncharted territory.

The war on small business will continue until the hated middle class is destroyed. The Marxists need a society of a ruling elite and a poor, disarmed proletariat who lack the resources to fight and will be forever dependent on government handouts.

There is plenty written about what the Founding Fathers thought of situations like this. The questions is do people have the fortitude to rise up? My gut says, "No."

I don't know what this strategy is going to do long term, but my Spidey-sense tells me it's bad.

I thought it was strange when CA, WA, and OR all went for Biden just 10 minutes after the polls supposedly closed. That is technically impossible for the precinct election judges to preform such a feat of strength when it takes at least one hour to disband the machines, tabulate the counts from the counting machine, have the dem and the Rep sign them, gather up all the supplies, get in the car and drive to headquarters to pass off everything. In 10 minutes.

According to Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, the true tally of all the votes was found on the CIA servers in Frankfort. When they looked them over they found that it was the pure vote. Gina and her pals needed to be able to see the true numbers so as to let everyone know how much they needed to steal.

That true tally was 410 electoral votes for Trump and he got the state of CA. So, I think maybe Californians have had their votes stolen for so long that they don't even know how bad it is. But, for CA, WA, and OR to all go for Biden 10 minutes out of the gate, well something stinks to high heaven.

What if they gave a lockdown notice and no one obeyed it. Reverse the curse.

Gee, whatever happened to good old fashioned American defiance and civil disobedience?

FORCE the f*ckers to come and do something. And then absolutely refuse to obey.

It’s a choice. Choices have consequences. But it’s STILL a choice.

Either submit - or do not.

My boss thought he tell me point blank to wear a mask last week and thought he could pretend to be a Type-A or Silverback.

That didn’t end well for him and he had to revise his “demand” the very next day...

The mask, while annoying, I can understand on private property.

It’s the knuckling under that I see so many people do that alarms me. Especially businesses.

They start talking about having to be masked outside, f*** no. I absolutely will not comply.

And I make it well known that there will be a problem should anyone attempt to force me.

There’s only two ways you can get someone to do what you want them to do - change their mind, or use force.

I refuse to give in to force; I can use force too.

Sure, there’s consequences. But it is ALWAYS a choice.

f*** no. I absolutely will not comply. is where we ended up.

Fire me, I give a fluck. I have options and really enjoy this job but, not that much...

Besides, they would do me a favor to get off my ass and go back to earning the money I use to earn, while dealing with idiots all day long at work who think they are better than me but, sell way less or zero, which is what I think of them.

They are way less than me or zero’s...

I don’t think anything like that about anyone in this company.
