Gavin Newsom responds after getting busted attending large dinner party against his own advice
House slammed over new member banquets as Americans are told to skip holiday gatherings with family
Lol. Why should any of us follow guidelines, after this?
Someone give me a valid answer please, thanks in advance!

This has been an issue over here. Every single party has had news stories about members breaking lockdown rules they voted for.
But remember...

I feel like it is different because conservatives by and large haven't pushed for these restaurant lockdowns. It has been democrats.
So both parties have broken guidelines, but only one side tried to shame those for it and then turned around and did it.

Perhaps. I don't know how it is state by state where different parties have been responsible for implementing lockdowns at the state/city level.
You'd probably find examples of republicans breaking republican implemented lockdowns and democracts breaking democrat implemented lockdowns and them breaking each others too.
@truejedi, some of the crap they tried to sneak in the first bill was money for "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts", green house gas emission legislation (reducing), etc.
The first draft of the bill included the following:
· Direct payments to the American people ($1.2K/person, $2.4K/couple, $500/child)
· $350B for small businesses
· $250B in unemployment insurance
· $100B for hospitals
· $4.5B for the CDC
· $11B for vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and other preparedness needs
· $5B for FEMA Disaster Relief Fund
· $1.7B for Strategic National Stockpile
· $12B for the military
· $20B for Veterans health care
· $12B for K-12 education
· $6B for higher education
· $10B for airports
· $20B for Public Transportation Emergency Relief
It was rejected, outright. Then it turned into a mess.
The Democrats countered with the following additions:
· Expansive new tax credits for solar and wind energy
· New emissions standards for airlines and requirement of full offset by 2025
· Increased collective bargaining and carve outs for Big Labor
· Required same-day voter registration and early voting
· A bailout for the U.S. Postal Service, for the union pension fund, and for student loans
· Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
· Publication of corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards
· A requirement for companies receiving assistance to impose job-destroying $15/minimum
wage
· $1B “Cash For Clunkers”-style program where government buys planes from airlines
· $1.5M to study climate change mitigation efforts in civil aviation and aerospace industries
· New burdensome OSHA requirements on hospitals
· $1B to build on program expanded by President Obama that provides discounted phone
service for low-income consumers
Tulsi, Yang, and AOC advocated for a UBI for the poor and unemployed until the virus stopped the rampage. I thought that was a good idea. Republicans shot that idea down.
Republicans ALSO snuck in shit for their business pals.
It was a huge mess. Buncha bullshit. Should have just been $1,200 a month for anyone making less than $75,000 a year and had less than $2 million in assets. And the same for unemployed.
But they always want to add in more 'stuff.'

Same city. Same mayor. My neighborhood has the lowest. So what is y'all's excuse?
Now I'm paranoid. What if the mail lady has it, would she tell me? Here I am touching the mail without gloves.
