As thousands of small-business owners deal with the latest lockdown in New York City, there’s one “essential” business that seems to be allowed to operate without any need to practice social-distancing, wear masks, etc.
“Saturday Night Live,” why are you so special?
Just to be clear, this is “essential”, but small businesses and their employees throughout NYC are not… pic.twitter.com/IXX74hNugF

Donald Trump Jr. adds, “The elite take care of their friends and you get to suffer”:
How is a failing sketch comedy show an “essential” business but your families business or your employer’s business isn’t? The elite take care of their friends and you get to suffer. https://t.co/vGPSGMOPpf

Masks and social distancing are for suckers!
No masks. No social distancing. https://t.co/hxg7uzqB5y

But don’t worry. Covid can’t spread if it’s a “triumphant” return or something:

This is OK but you can’t have indoor dining?

But they're sticking to social distancing guidelines, or something… pic.twitter.com/Apn7BqMAhz

Did Dua Lipa fly in from London for this?

DRAG THEM, JANICE:
So, @NYGovCuomo is screaming at us not to gather, and if we do make sure we’re wearing masks, 6 feet apart. Restaurants are closed, small businesses too. Families are starving, kids out of school. But @nbcsnl somehow is allowed to do this and have a live audience?! https://t.co/5J7wGmQbHN

Just last night we told you how Dr. Birx feels she doesn’t need to follow Covid guidelines. They’re all hypocrites:
Maybe at some point people will realize the elites don't fear COVID at all, are exempt from lockdowns, and are perpetrating the largest transfer of wealth in human history https://t.co/9nXal7iKaW

Note that the reason they get away with this is a loophole where they pay the live audience to attend:
Restaurants can’t have indoor dining with tables 10 feet apart but this weekly circle-jerk can skirt Covid restrictions by paying its live audience. https://t.co/TYC1cBVQnO

Maybe on Christmas, we can just watch SNL castmembers hug instead of hugging our own family?
How many of you haven't been able to hug friends or family members in months, maybe since March?
How many of you had to forgo your livelihoods.
