US THE PEOPLE HELPED HIM NOT THE GOVERNMENT THAT PROMISED TO HELP US. Is our democracy system still working?

[@colgatetoothpaste4865]

No they are here to screw us only

[@iambradleysmith2275]

The people are democracy

Best wishes for this man, his family, and his business. And if you’re reading this, I wish that for you too.

You should update this story. Chef Andrew Gruel with the help of some donations contributed $15,000 to help his business after seeing his video. An amazing gesture of kindness.

@CBS Los Angeles: can you guys put a thumb nail or update the description of the name of the Long Beach restaurant? Had to listen the video multiple times in order to Google it correctly.

Long Beach is about Unity, this is how we get down! LB stand up! ✊🏻

It's great that the city life is back to normal.

[@tonygomez9263]

I dont care about people whining about their hard work, their sacrifices...selfish bullshit! PEOPLE ARE LOOSING THEIR LIVES/LOVED ONES. These owners are not going to starve to death.

[@OGgrinder]

Nice! This is what communities that care do for their own! 😍

[@MrTmenzo]

Offer vegan food and rake in the profits.

Glad he got the help he needed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This man is part of the problem! He can't or wouldn't even wear a mask properly while serving in his own restaurant. A mask around your chin not up over the nose is worthless!

No DEMOCRATS are the problem shut down business, attack people for doing what is necessary
