Protests sweep California as governor promises changes to lockdown

[Lexy]

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, promised “meaningful” adjustments to stay-at-home orders in the coming days as thousands of protesters gathered across the state in defiance of the lockdown.

Demonstrations took place from the capital of Sacramento to San Francisco and San Diego, while large crowds turned out in Orange county’s Huntington Beach, a recent flashpoint after Newsom ordered beaches there to close.

Newsom said that the state was “getting very close” to making changes that would affect how businesses, including restaurants, could operate, and urged residents to be patient. He said the announcement of the changes would come in “days, not weeks”.

They just want to go to the beach. Americans don’t like the idea of sacrifice.

They want to go back to work. Americans don't like the idea of having their livelihood taken away from them.

But what do you care? You're not in the tax bracket of peasants.

Very little physical distance between them, no masks on most of them. They seem to be unintentionally making the point of why government orders are necessary - they aren’t behaving in a way that’ll stop the spread on their own, while arguing that the government shouldn’t be forcing them to.

I suppose the government could bar up everyone's doors so they can't go outside, like the Chinese government did.

I am in that tax bracket and I want a vaccine first.

Newsom is a tyrant!

I don’t know.

I’m in the tax bracket of “ I could live happily in the forest without running water or electricity for the rest of time”

So I am not prioritizing money over life. But I know everyone is in a different situation.
