The radical center does not hold. Photo: Maranie Staab/REUTERS Thanks to various defects in our system of government, there are only two viable political parties in the United States. The leadership of one is currently trying to take money away from capitalists and invest it in public infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, at-home care for the elderly, and a monthly child allowance for all non-rich families (among other things). This party has also advanced legislation that would make it easier for working people to vote in elections and organize their workplaces . The other party opposes all of this. In the wake of an economic crisis that brutalized America’s underclass — while swelling the outsize fortunes of its upper crust — it demands “relief” for the long-suffering heirs of $12 million estates and austerity for the long-term unemployed. It deems our nation’s historically low tax rates sacrosanct, and thus, any major expansion of social welfare untenable. … [Read more...]

2 WASHINGTON — Bay Area politicians are using no uncertain terms to describe the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, calling police actions “murder” even before charges were filed against a fired officer Friday. The direct word choice from prominent lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Kamala Harris, show a growing willingness on the part of Democrats to label police brutality as criminal. Pelosi called Floyd’s death “a crime” early this week, and in her remarks to reporters on Thursday said there was no doubt it was murder. “We did see a murder on TV, and it wasn’t self-defense,” the San Francisco Democrat said. Pelosi stopped short of calling for charges, but Harris did not, tweeting that the officers involved should be arrested. “Our country has a long history of slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation, and discrimination,” the California Democrat wrote. “The injustices of the past live on in our institutions today. We … [Read more...]

2 San Mateo and Marin County restaurants may reopen for indoor dining at 25% capacity, making them the only places in the Bay Area where indoor dining is available. Both Marin and San Mateo counties moved out of the most restrictive purple tier of the state’s reopening plan on Tuesday and into the red tier. Counties in the red tier may reopen dining rooms at a limited capacity, which both counties announced they would do later in the day. San Francisco is still in the purple tier. Speaking at a Washington Post Live forum Tuesday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed said that she expects San Francisco may loosen some restrictions as soon as next week. She added that “restaurants will be able to expand,” but did not elaborate. Gov. Gavin Newsom said he anticipates more counties will move into the red tier next week and the week after, which could include other Bay Area counties. In Larkspur, Frank Caiazzo of Left Bank Brasserie said Tuesday that the … [Read more...]

6 San Mateo and Marin counties on Tuesday advanced to the second-most-restrictive category of California’s reopening blueprint , according to the California Department of Public Health. Both exited the purple tier, the category that imposes the strictest coronavirus rules. Currently, all but 11 counties in the state are in the purple tier. But Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday that as coronavirus case rates continue to plummet, five counties are transitioning to red and he anticipates that another eight will be allowed to loosen restrictions next week. Even more may transition in two weeks, he added. San Francisco remains in the purple tier for now despite having lower case numbers and positive test rates than both San Mateo and Marin counties. However, San Francisco may be among those that advance soon. Mayor London Breed, speaking at a Washington Post Live forum Tuesday, said she “hopes to make some announcements next week … [Read more...]

3 The “shelter in place” order, which began Tuesday across much of the Bay Area, brought confusion as to which businesses were “essential” and could remain open. Owners, managers and workers faced a complex set of challenges, from protecting themselves from the widening pandemic the orders were meant to stem, to dealing with swiftly changing rules handed down by authorities. Grocery, hardware and convenience stores are among those considered essential, but retailers selling consumer goods are not. Stores supplying other businesses could be considered essential, if they cater to essential businesses. The lines swiftly grew blurry. Cannabis stores in San Francisco, for example, were initially told to shut, and then on Tuesday the city allowed them to remain open. All “nonessential” businesses were ordered to shut down by six Bay Area counties starting Tuesday until at least April 7, in the strictest measures taken in the country to curb the … [Read more...]
