Stupid mayor-do as I say, not as I do justification added

This is a pervasive issue with many leaders. They make the rules and then decide they don't apply to them.

People are dicks in 2020.

I just saw that... people are going to hit the roof when this spreads.. like by tonight. Another Coloradoan not happy. But he isn't my mayor so not much I can do about it.

It is unbelievably frustrating.

Exactly we all have families. Idiot

Well it is not just him. Public figure or no public figure, many people think the rules don't apply to them. The airports are packed.

I get so frustrated with this. I am home alone this year. My family is less than 6 hours away. I have waited a long time to be this close to my son and his wife and in a position where our relationship is good enough to share holidays and then COVID. She takes care of her grandmother who is high risk so we are not getting together. My son is working and our video game came out this week. We are playing long distance. Per this idiot's logic, I can go see my kids because Im a mom. Im not a wife anymore, but I am a mom. That has to count for something right?

I have been handling the pandemic fairly well due to my inherent hermit nature. I do have to work still which puts me in a smaller higher risk category, but so far so good. Im tired of this pandemic. I want to see people (I will deny this later don't worry lol) yet we all agree to cancel trips, meetings with family etc just to keep the most vulnerable of us protected. And yet....this. I know life isn't fair but come on...this is just ridiculous.


Vent over..back to my last little bit of work before I take time off and reset my head.

We just lost a family member to covid this week. She battled for over three weeks before her lungs gave out. I truly just want to throttle people like this mayor. That is not leadership. Set a damn example.

One news report I read said his daughter recently took a job there. I'm guessing the Jackson area, but the article didn't say.

This was also reported yesterday:

S.F. Mayor London Breed had her own French Laundry party — the night after Gavin Newsom’s

Gov. Gavin Newsom is in good company when it comes to politicians attending fancy birthday parties while encouraging others to avoid gathering.

It turns out San Francisco Mayor London Breed dined at the French Laundry the night after Newsom’s infamous, ill-advised, mid-pandemic soiree at the three-star Michelin restaurant in Yountville.

Breed took a few days off after election day and joined seven others the night of Nov. 7 to celebrate socialite Gorretti Lo Lui’s 60th birthday, Breed’s spokesman Jeff Cretan confirmed. The party of eight dined in the same kind of partially enclosed room with a ceiling and chandelier as Newsom did — making it more of an indoor dining experience than an outdoor one.

Cretan characterized the occasion as a “small family birthday dinner,” but it’s unclear exactly who else attended and how many households the group included.

While indoor dining was allowed in Napa County at the time with no specified limit on the number of households, the state’s guidelines “strongly discouraged” social gatherings and capped them at three households. Breed’s dinner at an opulent restaurant — amid an economic catastrophe that’s shuttered countless small businesses and stretched the lines at local food banks to new lengths — might not have technically violated the rules, but it isn’t a great look.

The dinner would have certainly violated San Francisco’s health guidelines if it took place in Breed’s own city. San Francisco has issued stricter guidance than the state for several types of businesses, including restaurants, which were not supposed to seat groups larger than six indoors or outdoors unless everyone lived together. Three days after dining at the French Laundry, Breed banned indoor dining in San Francisco altogether.

“I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that everyone act responsibly to reduce the spread of the virus,” Breed said in a statement Nov. 10. “Every San Franciscan needs to do their part so that we can start moving in the right direction again.”

All elected politicians are ego maniacs. I don’t think there are many exceptions to this rule.

I love Kyle (the newscaster)... sums it up right.
