I have since the start of this wanted more help to CMs and Local Business owners. I have said why doesn't CA just provide these people more....they can't because it's not their responsibility/states aren't suppose to go into debt. Ok Cool then the Federal Government which is either on recess until after the election or a leader who just this week said we are turning a corner so they aren't helping.Not sure it's in this thread but I've seen it other places online. People need to save their crocodile tears over wanting the parks to open for "jobs and employees". Why we as a society have allowed jobs to define someone's worth is beyond me. What worth is a job that puts you at an elevated risk of catching such a disease as COVID. "BuT tHeY aRe ExPoSeD tO tHe FlU" says the person who has never met a strawman.
From what I've seen, the people wanting parks to open back up for the jobs or as a way to help the Disney castmember (or whatever park and their employees) have remained remarkably quiet or vocally against other things that could help the unemployed: access to affordable housing, healthcare, food, security, education, etc. These items provide a heck of a whole lot more worth than a job.
I am just bothered by people wanting parks to open that won't admit they want it open for themselves and use the guise that it is for the employees. Like just be honest.
And of course you can want both things, yes. But let's not pretend that's what's going on here.
So while yes, I wish these people didn't have to risk health for a job they are not being given options.
Also local business owners who risked it all are being punished not because they ran a bad hotel or business but because of COVID but yeah they should lose it all because no one will help them?
I just want them to be able to open and fight to no lose their jobs, housing and or savings. If CA had a plan sure but they don't its "you need almost no cases" which is basically impossible without a vaccine and that is not coming to this state for a longggggg time and even then it has to be given out which takes time.
The rules used to be if you have an item and people want it you can sell it to, sorry we know you have what people want and your staff has even oked the risks but we know better than you and will also not help you out, so suffer with no plan or assistance.
Also I have no shame in saying I'd go to Universal or Disneyland with a mask, I will stand where i need to and act safely like I have this entire pandemic and ready to support my local parks.
(Edit: Also I know reopening won't save everything. Things reopened in other places and still have places that don't make it but Disneyland for sure would stimulate that local economy more than it being closed)
