Here's another idea, how about the Federal Government does something, oh wait.
Here is another idea. All governments stop ruining people's livelihoods.
@@unkiestbob sorry that they’re trying to save lives, I’m saying that they should also provide better support.
@@danielduvernay3207 unemployment has a fatality rate. I think it is time the support stop, we cannot afford more bailouts. Stop spending money and stop hamstrings peoples lives based in arbitrary BS.
@@unkiestbob so you want everyone to have a job and cause more people to die instead of putting in place restrictions along with stimulus which is infinitely better than what you are proposing. Let me put it another way:
You: people work+ money+ lives-
Me: people work- money+ lives+
@@unkiestbob the use of the word arbitrary is completely unfounded, and if Wall Street is doing so well then why can’t we afford it, what about the billionaires having absolutely no trouble?
I totally understand where she is coming from and she isn’t alone. Everyday I watch moms and pops boarding up their windows for good.
I understand her anger, she should be mad at the correct people though.
The mayor and the governor cannot offer relief to her business and unemployment, but the senators could , and last I heard Moscow mitch was the one holding all that aid back.
@@Avalanche616 Not to mention, you haven't proven in any way how my math is wrong! Tell me how throwing a large number out there proves my math is wrong. Show me the calculation!
How tf is movie making an “essential business?”
To be fair movie making is a MUCH easier process to control than the public being able to walk in off the street
That's a big part of the California economy. Right now states are struggling financially because of all the unemployment. Unemployment comes from sources like the movie industry.
The millionaires having invested in the productions would lose a lot of money if they were shut down.
Making it quite clear that anything negatively affecting the bank account of millionaires, is deemed essential.
movie filming. test every week and they do 15 minute test and they control the are who enters and leaves... I'm sure she is not providing a test for every single customer
@@gflores1689 problem isn't test in this situation, its who gets the money from success of each enterprise. That's why Republicans got to go, they only care about their bottomline, up till now, they are more focused on saving their assets, shame they reinforced the term dirty politics
Honestly happy for her, but it sucks for the rest of us. I wish we all had her marketing strategy.
We do.... apparently make a video of hardship and hope it goes viral. I hope everyone does as she did and floods internet to let all of America know just how bad across the country really is. Shame Mcconnell into action.
I agree, you can’t tell us to do this and not give us help.
I hope she’s sharing that money with others who have been affected. That will be the real story
She's more likely to than that big movie company. At least she can pay her staff.
@Deadman Outcast if you think this women is a Karen you don't know what a Karen is and should look it up
@Deadman Outcast what does simp ?
Every struggling American should post they're struggles and show what is really going on all across the country. Shame & pressure Congress.
If you truly think Congress will stop bickering like the idiots they are to come together for their country you clearly haven’t been paying attention to politics in recent months
Honestly , every single person in government should stop getting paid until they come up with a bill to help the citizens of America ! This is beyond ridiculous
How can she not understand a movie set consists of the the same ppl vs her restaurant having hundreds of different ppl coming and going. Is she planning on testing ppl before seating them?
Everyone needs to wear masks, keeps social distancing, and washes hands, we can stop/slow down this virus and continue outdoor business
My city had a high prevalence of Covid, we dropped that down dramatically over the last few weeks by wearing masks. 😷
Why don’t we shut down and re open after a vaccine. These owners should be home with their families. Something tells me they don’t know how to stop working though. Mental illness imo
@@Noizedas you do know how money works, right? You get it by working. Be happy that you are lucky enough to be so well off that you even have the audacity to write this comment, because millions of people are not
Monthly payment for any business location is the worst nightmare for any business owner. And no one wants to carry a record of filing bankruptcy to get out of the contract they sign. At the same time, if this is a family run business most if not all family members will lose their jobs. So, it's a survival deal for people in this line of business.
@@Noizedas If we had a competent government that was not trying to hoard relief money to their coffers, they would have had the money to hold over. But we've been betrayed by the dumbfcks in office and here we are.
I understand this from both sides.
Hospital beds are filling up, she's losing business
The house needs to pass a bill to help everyone out. To those who don't think we should receive money don't take it then🤷.
Stop assuming people can live without this money
Except film crews are tested days before they can even step on set and multiple times throughout the week. We wear masks and face shields all day, and aren’t drinking and socializing.
If her restaurant did the same, she could be open.
TV and film production bring millions of dollars to the state.
It’s hard, grueling work; anyone who thinks working in Hollywood is glamorous doesn’t work here.
Why are people shocked? This isn’t anything new; you got enough money, well good, the restrictions and laws are different for you :|
I know no one is obligated to do someone a solid but how about letting her share in that catering contract?
*THAT WAS NOT A 80-THOUSAND DOLLAR OUTDOOR SETUP*
She is clearly boosting up the price for dramatic effect. I feel for her but lets be honest here.
I understand her also but you're right!
@@rosejack7738 hahaha I had to play the video back a couple times to look at this 80-thousand dollar setup. I even paused it on the tent and I'm like NO WAY! 😆 LOL
That's why when you go outside to eat don't go to big corporations fast food restaurants, go to the small local businesses we have around! We have to help each other, we need each other right now.
The thing is if we had totally locked down when we did and let no one get by for at least a month, we could've provided the unemployed with money and then go back to normal. I realize that they are trying their best, but it's weird when they say how they've been devastated and they had to spend money to account for restrictions. Curse the power of Hindsight.
Truth
I lost everything . I make jewelry for my living . I'm homeless now and I have no help . I'm sleeping in my van now and people are rude
That's capitalism for ya
Actually I am not even sorry for America. You preach Capitalism religiously over there and you condemn socialism.
In Capitalism money rules so the buisness which will make more money will always get preferable treatment.
The more money a buisness makes the more essential it is in Capitalism.
Now when people get into a predicament they cry for socialist actions.
But to help people now is socialism. Thats a reason why every Country which is not purely capitalistic has a better standing in this crisis.
Because the Government and the people have to care for each other by their economic System.
This doesn't mean that I care for these buisnesses just wanted to say that this i the pure Capitalism America wants to religiously preach to the whole world.
Preach!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Honey we live in a capitalist country. It’s empty cause people aren’t coming. Free markets. Don’t ask for a handout. We are capitalist when it comes to other peoples problem but socialists when it comes our own problems.
The fear and desperation in her voice has left a deep impression in my heart. She represents SO MANY Americans right now. Please remember others, if you’re able to help out. Stay well and I wish you the best. We WILL get through this!💐
MUST BE NICE BEING RICH ENOUGH TO START A BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
This happened anywhere in the world .. Rules n regulations applies only to people with less power and money.
Most of my clients that received PPP loan just transferred it to their personal account. The system is not perfect. We cannot let this happen again without proper controls and we cannot let legal inequality to exist during these times.
Thanks u Lowrance
Good for you Angela. Keep fighting girl. If it's good enough for Hollywood...
Hollywood does test every day before filming. 15 min test and weekly test. I'm sure the restaurant owner won't want to spend on the test for every single customer. and yes I seen them test every one before they are allowed to go in the area
The government is scared of small local restaurants and stores. But 1000s in Walmart is just fine! $$$$
Thank you for helping her! 👏👏👏
All people want is for the laws to be applied equally and fairly regardless of the business.
The wood benches were a bad idea. Hard to clean/sanitize compared to plastic :/
VOTE THEM OUT!! YOU DONT NEED HELP. YOU NEED TO VOTE. AND RUN!!!!
I work 2 jobs and don’t get to see my family. If I go online and cry about it how much do you think I could get? $DiegoCoss
You are not alone the Government said we'll have to close therefore they are responsible to us for the revenue that we have lost.
"she's all that" remake huh? ok. Cancel💯 😷
The only way we will get positive impact for the people who need it is for all of us as citizens to use our rights and overthrow the government. Not a coup d’tat. But charges of tyranny.
Blame congress especially Mitch mcconnell
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
If leadership from the very top would've taken the necessary measures to try to curtail this illness, maybe businesses like hers and others would've had a chance. Unfortunately, she is still going to have to shut down. The donations just bought her time.
Need more info
I'm sorry but your business is not too big to fail. You're a person, not a corporation. You should have saved six months for rainy days.
Seriously tho they passed a several trillion dollar stimulus for themselves in under one weeks time.
they don't care about us.
MAKE THEM
Disgusting, but not surprising, this is America.
weird 4 years of nothing and then omg theres no food... very weird
I watched this video on youtube a few days ago, and it was taken down. Does anyone know where the original video can be found.
I'm not sure where the original was but it has been shared widely and is on most left independent media channels.
I mean, I feel for her but the crew from a movie set are in a bubble as they're required to isolation for 14 days before filming. It seems unfair but the circumstances are very different. But I understand her resentment, it's frustrating.
This is so disgusting, how can this happend, like wtf..
I could get his statement if they weren't filming with a buffet next door, wtf.
People need to wake up, now that's bidens president, we will lose our freedoms slowly
This is what you voted in
Take away food are booming in my country, why not at USA?
Well, if mitchie keeps holding his end, I may post a video crying and begging for donations.
Blame Moscow Mitch McConnell. Your suffering is his fault.
I think that McConnell and Pelosi share the blame. She had an opportunity to get something through but did not want Trump's name on the checks. McConnell makes things as difficult as possible and is always thinking about banks and donors.
@@joananthony6323 yea yea yea the people surround you might be that dumb but I’m not.
That's crazy man how people loose
9:43 AM }|{ 12//9//2020
I hope she goes out of business
I agree with Galvan Newsom won’t get my vote terrible job.
FN 🐊 😭
oh wait there crying out for food now hmmmmm
