      Money talks. It has ever been thus.

      Is it right? Not even close. Am I surprised? Same. I wish her luck in getting this out.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          As I said, I wish her luck. This might be the one year I wish I still lived in California. Then I might be able to go out to eat again.

          Gonna be a long winter.

            https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/business-owner-says-restaurants-are-being-unfairly-targeted-by-coronavirus-restrictions/ar-BB1bEl0A

            Under the county’s guidelines, video and music production is deemed essential. Many production crews also test employees frequently, while under the recent Los Angeles County health order, restaurants like Marsden’s were forced to shut down their outdoor dining.

            Allrighty, then.

              I cannot for the life of me see why they have to shut down outdoor dining.

                    Yeah. I second Mik's first comment. 😞

                    The specifics of her situation are ideal for viral sharing, though. I hope she has a GoFundMe.

                      That was my initial take but there are valid reasons for viewing these differently, one is the likelihood of the employees being tested frequently and other being one venue is mostly for fun and the other mostly for work. Would be interested in counterpoints to those arguments.

                            I knew it might be taken that way. I was talking about the customers.

                              Both are for work. It might be argued that the movie crap isn't imperative (therefore "for fun"), but that would depend on a lot.

                                    I don't see how that's in any way material. Her employees' jobs aren't less important because their clientele are there "for fun," any more than the movie production company and its employees aren't important because "all they do is make movies." You have a small-ass patio that's essential to keep open so that the woman's business doesn't go under. You have a shitload of tents set up for a movie production company that arguably don't need to be, because you can find other logistical means to feed your staff.

                                    (Honestly, what the production company should do is hire the woman for catering. Everybody's happy.)

                                      There. We can't go without movies. That would be horrible.

                                      It would lead to an assload more people unemployed than the woman's business. Just sayin'.

                                      Cumulatively in LA? I doubt it.

                                        No, just her business. As for total restaurants vs. total movie crew, probably you're right? I have no idea.

                                        Please love yourself.

                                          other being one venue is mostly for fun and the other mostly for work.

                                          Both are for work. It might be argued that the movie crap isn't imperative (therefore "for fun"), but that would depend on a lot.

                                          I was talking about the clientele not the workers put out to the street.

                                          I don't see how that's in any way material. Her employees' jobs aren't less important because their clientele are there "for fun," any more than the movie production company and its employees aren't important because "all they do is make movies." You have a small-ass patio that's essential to keep open so that the woman's business doesn't go under. You have a shitload of tents set up for a movie production company that arguably don't need to be, because you can find other logistical means to feed your staff.

                                          (Honestly, what the production company should do is hire the woman for catering. Everybody's happy.)

                                          Great. What about the Food Service people hired to take care of the production staff?
