Obviously to point out to readers that more people approve than disapprove.

What was your point in posting the comment to begin with?

Yes. It is different. Amusement rides are 100% - well, for amusement ... not to go to work on, or fill the refrigerator.

Weird since no one was suggesting otherwise.

Someone asked where people come up with thinking Newsom wanting to keep his "stranglehold on the people of California." So I simply pointed out how a lot of people feel he is overstepping and abusing his power suggesting that's where people get that belief from. That wasn't obvious to you?

I was referring to the actual act and not the reason.

No one has to suggest otherwise for many people to assume you were, sav. Your statement was limited without context. So I interjected proactively to insure readers wouldn’t misunderstand you. You’re welcome. Just here to help.

And I pointed out that the reason is the salient factor.

Again, you’re welcome

I've already told you that it's paranoid to think that a vaccine is going to be rushed through by an agency of the government which consists of people with reputations at stake, not to mention the same risk for whichever drug company comes up with it. Until there's some actual proof that FDA is acting recklessly, I'll continue to trust that they're operating normally. If you want to believe there's a conspiracy between the executive branch and subservient agencies, especially in the era of whistleblowers, feel free. We don't share an opinion and I'm fine with that.
You don't like the source so you attack the information? Well, I probably won't find it on Breitbart or Daily Caller but it is not unique to the source that I used.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...ahn-fda-431139

https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...es-treatments/

And I think it's naive to believe that Trump would do whatever he could to push for release of a vaccine before November 3rd.

The context was clearly the coronavirus pandemic considering the title and subject of this thread. But if you assumed otherwise I'm glad I was able to clarify for you.

At this point it really shouldn't be. If an activity doesn't contribute to community spread then I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed imo.

Yes the context was clearly the pandemic. That wasn’t what I was pointing out as lacking clarity. What I was finishing for you with full context was that while you pointed out that some people are unhappy with Newsom (duh), even more do approve. That's the full story. Of which you only disclosed one side.

See how helpful I am?

As to amusement rides? Again, as of a month ago your position is considerably in the minority:

Californians support COVID-19 restrictions and remain worried about outbreak, survey shows
Californians still support efforts to contain the coronavirus outbreak through restrictions on public spaces and their worries about COVID-19 have not diminished since the spring, a new poll shows.

The survey by the Public Policy Institute of California showed 74% of respondents favor restrictions on public activity to mange the pandemic, or want more aggressive limitations.

Just 26% of respondents want looser restrictions on public activity during the pandemic
.

Well I figured people would know I wasn't talking about the majority of people disapproving because if I was I would have just said that. I guess you misinterpreted "a lot" as meaning "most" or "the majority". Yes while some disapprove there will obviously be others that do approve, I thought that was obvious to most people. Guess not...

Just being helpful, sav. Can’t have too much clarity amidst all the whining out there.
