Restaurant options during the pandemic (updated)
Six counties in the Bay Area have "Shelter-in-Place" until April 7. San Diego and Los Angeles - the two largest counties in CA could easily be next. I have a "hale immune system." I rarely get sick... a cold every 7-8 years. It's time I scale back my outgoing ways. Shelter in place is one step from total lockdown. For those of us who've never been in jail or prison... that would be tough. As far as paying for someone else, my husband picked up the check the other night. It was the two of us, and an elderly couple in a very popular restaurant. It felt like Mayberry...— March 16, 2020 10:47 p.m.
Dining out in the time of Covid-19
I've had the same experience going out to eat. How can you catch anything if no one is there? Newsom wants restaurants at "50% capacity" but it's a lot less than 50% already. I hope the restaurants aren't shut down.— March 15, 2020 7:07 p.m.
Dining out in the time of Covid-19
Unless you're a coronaphobe, this is actually a good time to eat out. A lot less people to deal with, and less people - less germs.— March 15, 2020 2:42 p.m.
Heartbreaking Homeless Court in Oceanside
Giving out tickets for illegal camping (especially if camping outside isn't illegal) is ridiculous. Does anyone really expect them to show up in court and pay the fines? And where is the money for these fines going to come from? What little money they might have won't go towards court fines, and if they end up in jail it's a waste of taxpayer money. Hopefully Homeless Court is an effective way to at least try to deal with this.— March 11, 2020 6:06 p.m.
Carlsbad Village Coins evicted from State Street
I think articles like this will make a difference. Never underestimate the power of the media. Job well done.— March 8, 2020 11:30 a.m.
Encinitas Sunset School gets reprieve
An education administrator (Principal) organizes and supervises the programs, while managing the budget. A superintendent makes the key decisions on spending, staffing and other educational policies. Think CEO. I've never worked in education, but I would think these positions are necessary. As far as making it harder for teachers to teach, someone has to keep teachers in line. Otherwise, they'd be able to do whatever they want in the classroom, and that would be a disaster.— March 6, 2020 9:11 a.m.
Carlsbad Village Coins evicted from State Street
So Carlsbad Village Coins gets to stay. That's good news for the "little guy." Keep the coin shop and get rid of the landlord.— March 5, 2020 10:26 a.m.
Encinitas Sunset School gets reprieve
As taxpayers, we're going to pay for the low wage workers one way or another. if they raise their wages, we'll pay double to dine out, rent a hotel room, etc. You don't really believe the employer won't pass the costs to the customer do you? Some employees will also lose their jobs if wages are raised. Low wage workers DESERVE low wages. I've worked those jobs, and it's one of the main reasons I went to COLLEGE. Maybe low wage/no benefit jobs should be given back to teenagers instead of unskilled adults working at McDonald's and demanding twice what they're worth. Get a real job. Most (not all) people are paid what they're worth, despite the fact that you dislike wage differences. If you have an advanced degree, which I'm sure school administrators do - you'll see it in your salary. And rightfully so.— March 4, 2020 6:41 p.m.
Encinitas Sunset School gets reprieve
I never said he was inconsistent. My point was he complains no matter what people are paid. If you complain about over-payment or under-payment, you're just complaining.— March 4, 2020 9:40 a.m.
