Going on week 8ish of waiting for our RestoreRI grant. Like many small businesses, Fortnight hasn't seen a single grant dollar in 2020. If we close our restaurants before grants come through, where will we spend all that $$? Big box? @GovRaimondo

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is unethical.

@gailciampa @TerrenceDoyle @DanMcGowan Let's talk about what restaurants need to stay afloat, that doesn't look like risking staff + guest health :) @foodbynorth

[Elizabeth McDonnell @ev_mcdonnell]

@grubstreet links to our letter describing our collective uneasiness with opening to dine-in too soon. We're not the only folks that are uneasy. People across the country are having the same conversation. Good looks @oberlin_pvd
+ Chong Qing House. https://t.co/RGjnhhW983

Tables 8' apart is safe for guests, but the staff still have to come to within 1.5' of every person they're serving.

Now workers can say they're not ready to be in close contact with literallyy HUNDREDS of guests in June. Sign at https://t.co/h2RprZ1esq

Need to make sure the supports we have to operate now persist until its *actually* safe for our health + business @GovRaimondo @DanMcGowan

[Elizabeth McDonnell @ev_mcdonnell]

If you also think its a little crazy to open for dine-in service this early, sign with us at https://t.co/h2RprZ1esq !

Some business owners make case for not opening R.I. restaurants and bars https://t.co/U2nluek0bZ

Great video of local fishermen asking local government to permanently allow local fish be sold to local people.

[Robert Andreozzi @robertandreozzi]

Help fix our broken food system. Tired of explaining to RIers what swims locally and convincing people that its actually "good eats". Nothing wrong with sustainably farmed fish, but let's support our economy here first. Time to change this narrative NOW!

[Elizabeth McDonnell @ev_mcdonnell]

At the very least, restaurants need to be allowed to continue to leverage our creative solutions until WE are comfortable reopening from a health + safety perspective. This means permanent license reforms that build on the important stop gaps implemented during the covid months.

I miss going out to eat, a lot. But I don’t want to wash lipstick off glasses or wipe up vomit from the bathroom (ever but esp) during an active pandemic. Anyone who isn’t comfortable doing those things shouldn’t be lobbying for other people to do them. https://t.co/YBjbGd3K5h

.@gofundme & @Yelp

It is unconscionable of you to create a page for my restaurants trying to take advantage of this crisis for your companies under the guise of 'helping'.

Immediately remove all Alinea Group properties. I hope someone sues you... I might once i have time.

[Truthful One @paulatuckerlv]

@Eater @darryn_briggs If #CheesecakeFactory can't budget well enough to cover a 2 week emergency how in the hell are everyday Americans supposed to make it??

[Elizabeth McDonnell @ev_mcdonnell]

Good moves.

[Seth Magaziner @SethMagaziner]

I’m pleased to announce that the State of Rhode Island will no longer invest public $ in companies that manufacture assault weapons for civilian use.

We will also no longer invest in for-profit prison companies.

This is the moral and responsible thing to do.

Just wasted an hour trying to add probably unimportant but super interesting footnotes to an atlassian doc and really missing the cadence of putting together a LaTeX doc entirely locally to only share as a pdf and have no one read anyway.

@jeff_mayse @ProtonMail i switched to protonmail last year but my google took back over 😔

[Elizabeth McDonnell @ev_mcdonnell]

so true. although, we dont hesitate tossing someone for bad behavior. youre paying for a product, not a monopoly on my time + tolerance.

[The Restaurant Manifesto @restofesto]

All restaurants have a few regulars that the staff despises yet begrudgingly welcomes. They consistently terrorize servers. They have no respect for hospitality. It’s impossible to tackle mental health issues in our industry without having the courage to show bad people the door.
