I'm late to the party but people are now boycotting Costco for requiring everyone to wear masks. The entitlement of these people.

Who pays for the room? The county? Obviously not the homeless guys.
Good, maybe we can find a parking spot now.
Correct. Orange County taxpayers paying the bill.

Makes sense. The hotels are facing a tough uphill battle for a while I guess they look at as good money they don’t want to turn down. For the county it’s probably a good negotiated rate and cheaper than building temporary shelters. Seems like a win/win. I hope they plan to do a deep cleaning before they cut back over to a hotel.

Seems like a very sensible solution -- hotels can get some income, core staff stay employed, rooms are kept active (cleaned, air conditioned, plumbing doesn't develop airlocks etc) and infections are reduced because positive homeless are isolated and not on the streets. I'm sure deep cleaning will take place as rooms are vacated. I hope that as well as being accommodated, other services are being made available to the homeless people, including medical and mental health support as necessary.

So the Open Now movement has its meme that any restrictions is just GIVING IN TO FEAR!!!
Umm... yes. Fear of death. In the U.S., about 80,000 so far. And when you exclude NY -- which at one time, the Open Now movement wanted to do so that its large numbers stop making the whole of the U.S. look bad -- the rest of the country's cases are still climbing. That's something worth fearing.
And absent a vaccine, a projected 750,000 to 1,000,000 million deaths is worth fearing.
I wonder what it's like to be these people without fear of death for themselves or their family members.
Yes, by all means, penalize a company for treating the safety and welfare of their customers and employees as paramount.

They're wrong. Any business can demand it's clientele adhere to specific rules. Dress codes, smoking rules, rules about pets, etc.
I'm boycotting Victoria and Alberts because they're trying to force me to wear a shirt.

And even worse, they may force an "amuse bouche" on you which you didn't order. Got to be suspect if they are trying to get you to eat something you didn't ask for.

I totally agree with you. It's why also a canceled my Costco membership. Costco can make whatever rules it wants and I can shop wherever I want. Everyone wins.

Norwegian Cruise Line sees 'substantial doubt' about its future, warns of possible bankruptcy as it seeks to raise $2 billion
"These factors have raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the company said.

Why is it entitlement to boycott a store. Are we all required to shop at Costco?

I think most of the people screaming for the country to open are small business owners and people that are out of work. You do realize 30 million people just lost their jobs. I know a few people that are financially ruined by this, and many others that are worried about being laid off in the future.

When we have the worldwide referendum on what will greeting should replace the handshake this might be my front runner.
