EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): I have said many times that of all those who pretend to be “helping the people” from a government position, very few would be able to manage even a pizzeria (no offense to the pizzeria owners – I know their job is not easy at all…) Nobody embodies this incapability better than the duo of New York, “Dumb and Dumber”, Gov. Cuomo and Mayor DiBlasio… For goodness sake, could any of our readers tell me why these structures, described as “outside dining”, supposed to be safe during the pandemic? If this is “outside dining”, then I am an astronaut… The photos below are from the streets of Astoria, while similar “shacks” can be seen everywhere in NYC… Why this “outside dining” is safer than the restaurants themselves, most of which are equipped with top-notch AC systems and filtering devices?… How much longer will we accept these idiots as our governor and our mayor?
Not only they forced the NYC restaurant owners to spend a ton of money to build them, not only they took away parking spots and traffic lanes, making everyday life in the city even more miserable, but they regularly send the “authorities” to enforce their regulations – which they change every other week… And they threaten restaurant owners with fines and the rest…
Many restaurateurs use portable gasoline heaters to warm up their makeshift “restaurants”… It’s a ticking time-bomb… One of these days an accident will happen and then you should see the two clowns, DiBlasio and Cuomo, come on TV and blame others, as usual… Meanwhile, their own NY State data prove that the infection rate from restaurants is at the lowest possible level of 1.43%, while most infections occur at homes during social gatherings… It’s time for all of us to rise up…
