The Mayor’s country club maskless dinner is making news. I understand that you can’t eat with a mask. But why are we making restaurants jump through hoops and limit six diners to a table if maskless diners are going to be allowed to walk around the restaurant engaging in conversations with folks at other tables? The photos of the Mayor’s dinner showed that clearly happening (he said they were just stopping by to tell him what a good job he was doing). Juxtapose that against families too financially challenged to have country club memberships or go to restaurants who can’t socialize with nonresidents in their homes, backyards or public spaces and ask yourself, how is this current set of rules (wealthy can mix and mingle indiscriminately in restaurants but the poor can’t mix and mingle anywhere free) going to stop the spread? All it does is create a social justice motivation to have stealth gatherings plus set up restaurants as a much bigger factor in disease spread. And note, I’m not advocating shutting down restaurants, just suggesting that diners should not be able to table hop and that masks should be worn when a diner is not at a table. Similarly, if restaurants can be open (particularly when they don’t seem to be enforcing social distance), shouldn’t some accommodations be made for family gatherings of similar nature? Common sense guidelines might be better adhered to than the current edicts which are being ignored.
Margo demonstrates 1: White male privilege 2: Republican Hypocrisy 3: Lack of Leadership 4: Rich people don’t have to follow the rules all in a single picture:
Rich white people just make the rules. They don’t have to follow them. Yet, they will be the first to scream “The Rule of Law!” and “We are a country of Laws!”
Democrats using forces of government against their political enemies. This is a despicable abuse of power.

If the mayor wanted to show support for the reopening of local businesses, he should have gone somewhere other than the country club.
