San Francisco At It Again. Gym Owners Are Up In Arms After Discovering Gov Gyms Are Open During COVID-19
Gym owners in San Francisco are up in arms after realizing that the government never had to shut down its own gyms at government buildings. It’s another incredible injustice to small businesses in California that have suffered so much during the mandatory closures the government says is to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
The revelation was made by a local NBC news channel, which reported that gyms inside government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, while other gyms across the city were mandated to shutdown during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
What? How angry would you be if you were a San Francisco resident, or for that matter a business owner?
Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told her local NBC station: “It’s shocking, it’s infuriating. Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”
It appears that the privileged government isn’t limited to House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hair salon incident, where she didn’t wear a mask.
According to the report from NBC the government gyms have literally been open for employees, including police officers, lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and others.
“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, told NBC.

Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., has declared that he will not seek re-election, becoming the latest in a growing list of lawmakers departing from Congress. McHenry, a close ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, stated that he believes “there is a season for everything,” signaling the end of his tenure in the House. Having served since 2005, McHenry is the 37th member of Congress to announce they won’t seek re-election in 2024.
In a statement, McHenry reflected on the significance of the House of Representatives in the American political landscape, calling it the “center of our American republic.” He acknowledged the concerns about the future of the institution due to multiple departures but expressed confidence that new leaders would emerge and guide the House through its next phase.
The departure of McHenry and others comes against the backdrop of political shifts and challenges within the Republican Party. The GOP has faced setbacks in recent elections, including fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Internal strife and disagreements, exemplified by the rebellion against McCarthy, have characterized the party’s dynamics. The GOP’s approval rating stands at 30%, with a disapproval rating of 66%, reflecting the challenges and divisions within the party.
As McHenry steps aside, questions loom over the fate of open seats in the upcoming election. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report identifies five open House seats as potential Democrat pickup opportunities, while none are listed for the GOP. The departures raise concerns about the party’s unity and ability to navigate the evolving political landscape.
With a total of 20 departing Democratic legislators and 10 Republicans, the changing composition of Congress adds complexity to the political dynamics leading up to the 2024 elections. As McHenry emphasizes a hopeful view of the House’s future, the evolving political landscape will determine the impact of these departures on the balance of power in Congress.
