Serious surfers don't typically care about curfews because the best surfing is typically around sunrise and sunset, and they don't do the party until dawn because one needs to be clear-headed when surfing.. They also tend to be a bit more health conscious for the same reason.
But the Huntington Beach inhabitants are very dependent on tourists and weekend local partiers looking for "the OC experience". So there's a lot of wanna be bikers, wanna be surfers, hedonists, guilty- pleasure-seeking evangelicals, and those people tend to be conservative and go around with a sense of petulant entitlement about themselves.

Geeze, we are such an entitled bunch. "I'm so special, if I just get mad and throw a tantrum, it won't dare get me."

Congregate, and then quickly vaccinated.

They are a danger to our entire species and the human race and it be done to protect us all including them.



No sarcasm...I am completely serious

Ok - it’s my fantasy solution

I look at these crowds and think about what exactly it is they stand for and it quite literally makes me sick and furious as I think of the deadly virus and the suffering it has brought to us and economically.

Ok - I realize that what I suggested is absurd - but honestly - how much more absurd relatively to what these people are doing and what they are protesting?



(it was my Sunday moment of fantasy solution and problem solving)

Use the shady pharmaceutical company tactics against them.

Create a trademark for "hydraxychloroquine" or maybe "hydroxychloraquine".

License these trademarks to Moderna and Phizer. They can offer the real coronavirus vaccine under these brands as well.

Ivanka will pitch it for a reasonable "consulting" fee. 73 million new customers...KA-CHING!!

While I was having my Sunday fantasy about how to solve the problem of these fanatical super spreaders, my solution is less extreme...

Presumably their ignorance isn’t inherited (I think it’s learned) so there may be hope for offspring and future generations if we can get them off Fox News and Q-Anon amd hopefully access to good education and less indoctrination by the GOP and Trump.

That idea is based on a popular movement of the 1920's/1930's called eugenics
which called for the eradication of undesirable genetic characteristics in people.

Here in the US, states sterilized women they considered "feeble-minded". but, as is often true, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So "feeble minded" was applied to other types of "undesirable" women.
You can see where this is going, right?

In Germany, Hitler carried the idea a lot further. He killed patients in mental hospitals first. Then turned his attention to the "undesirable" group of the Jewish faith.
You can see where that led, right?

China is using forced sterilization on the minority groups being held in its concentration camps.

Currently, Steven Miller, trump's Himmler, has been committing forced sterilization of Hispanic women in our concentration camps.
You can see where gov't sanctioned forced sterilization can lead, right?

It's one of the hallmarks of genocide.
