Tim and Ben look up jobless claims numbers (751,000) while discussing how outdoor dining shutdowns in LA make little sense and blaming Trump and officials for failing to invest in better solutions.
- Tim questions the unemployment numbers, calling them the craziest thing he's ever seen.
- 751,000 people filed for jobless claims last week; Tim jokes that two of them should be Gavin Newsom and the guy in Austin.
- Outdoor dining in LA shouldn't be shut down because it accounts for a small percentage of transmission.
- Tim describes eating in the weird street vestibules built in New York—structures that look like horse stalls but are technically buildings.
- Why not invest in better air filtration systems instead of all these shutdowns and makeshift outdoor structures.
- His father's wine business is doing well because people are drinking, but his restaurant-owner friends are suffering and terrified of another shutdown.
