Restaurant Owner on Why He Won't Allow Vaccinated People In

[Demovictory9]

[brewens]

1. He also tell his employees to save the soap in the restrooms for customers to save

a few bucks. Why not?

[SunSeeker]

2. Fuck that idiot.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

3. I'm past caring ... the world is overpopulated anyway ...

Let the stupid people die off. That's their choice. Give 'em their freedumb.

Otherwise we're looking at Idiocracy anyway.

I guarantee ... Darwin approves.

[GulfCoast66]

5. In my heart I want to attack you. I'm a bleeding heart liberal.

But my mind can’t help but agree.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Problem Is, Even Covid Can't Be Relied On To Kill Off Pricks Like Him nt

[Caliman73]

7. Curious as to why you think Darwin would approve.

??

People who are vulnerable can die off through no fault of their own as well.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. Maybe approve is the wrong word. He would probably look on in befuddled fashion

thinking it quite strange that the people declining vaccination are acting in a manner that's contrary to their survival chances, and that it's to be expected that their genes will not propagate as efficiently as those who choose the opposite course.

He'd likely conclude there's a certain lack of 'fitness' among anti-vaxxers.

[Caliman73]

11. Ahh okay.

I asked because from what I understand about Darwin, he was a major bleeding heart. As much as you could be in the 19th century.

There is a lot of conflation of the man with "Social Darwinism" which he was definitely and vehemently opposed to. Herbert Spencer a contemporary of Darwin's applied natural selection (incorrectly) to human beings. Darwin spoke out vehemently against it.

[Phoenix61]

22. Right there with you.

As a social worker I’ve often found myself counseling someone who has made a royal mess of their life. One bad decision after the other and I’ve always had compassion for them. “We do the best we can with what we have to work with” right? Yeah, whatever. I’m over it, Scrooge was right. “Many can't go there; and many would rather die.” “If they would rather die,” said Scrooge “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

27. Whether we care or not, Delta's going to find them. When there was something that

could be done to prevent what we are about to experience, I was furious at them for not doing it.

But now it is just going to happen no matter what they do. If people get their first shot today, they won't be protected for 6 weeks and that will be too late.

At this point all people like you and me can do is duck and wait it out.

And it's going to be bad.

4. Thousands of customers and no covid traced back to his joint.

Riiiiight

[Demobrat]

9. It's a gimmick and it's working for him.

For now.

[Grokenstein]

10. When the notoriety wears off, he'll torch the joint for the insurance and blame antifa

[smirkymonkey]

12. Another Slobfather.

This guy is such a hot mess. As Chris Cuomo accurately states, he's an idiot, he's seems to be constantly under the influence of something, he looks like he's been sleeping in the same clothes for a week, and I can't be sure, but is his restaurant in a strip mall?

Initially i thought it was some prestigious LA celebrity hot spot, but then I saw the video above and I was wondering why anyone would want to go there in the first place. And how on earth do you prove you are NOT vaccinated? Or are they just trying to be cute?

Ugh! I am so sick of these people with their willful ignorance. Living in this country is starting to feel like being dropped into the most effed up episode of the Twilight Zone ever. I can't believe how insane things have gotten in such a short period of time. And NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! At least not fast enough. We don't have all the time in the world.

[brush]

13. It all stems from the idiot trump. If he had listened to Fauci...

and modeled wearing a mask instead of poo-pooing the virus, he would've won the election and covid, because of the vaccines, would be behind us.

trump and his stupid magats are the cause of all of this mess.

[LiberalLoner]

19. +1 exactly how I feel!

[NEOBuckeye]

14. What a shitbag

[jmowreader]

15. Now I know where not to go when I'm in Huntington Beach

Okay, I'm never in Huntington Beach, but if you are then don't go to 21501 Brookhurst Street. His eatery is between a beauty salon and a gym.

[Sherman A1]

16. Seems as though he has made a business decision

We will see what the silent hand of the market has to say about it?

[Rhiannon12866]

17. He was also on with Chris Cuomo tonight and made an ass of himself - video in V&M::

18. Sounds like it's time for another visit from the Department of Industrial Relations and Health Dept.

In June, the restaurant was fined $165,520 for failing to meet California's COVID-19 regulations.


Although Basilico's appears to be maintaining its anti-vaccination stance, according to a ProPublica database, the restaurant accepted $57,738 in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funding.

[Vinca]

21. That $58,000 in PPP loot really pisses me off. Taxpayers don't want to fund this idiot.

[Solly Mack]

23. One hand out for money and the other hand slapping the very people who helped him.

The hypocrisy has gotten old.

[Kaleva]

20. Vaccinated or not, shouldn't we be avoiding restaurants anyways?

[tanyev]

24. Their amuse-bouche is to die for!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. Super spreaders are great for dinner

[Lettuce Be]

26. Exactly how does one prove they are not vaccinated? Stupid is as stupid does, eh?
