The speed limit analogy doesn't really reflect the magnitude of the conflict we're seeing here. Should the government be allowed to pick and choose businesses that are allowed to open as if they were eggs in a basket? The speed limit example applies to everyone equally, and a difference of 10mph in the speed limit isn't going to potentially bankrupt successful businesses. Given the speed limit analogy, the corresponding action here would be to allow all businesses to operate in distanced-mode (6ft, thermo guns, etc.) equally. Any business that cannot function in this mode would be at a disadvantage, but it wouldn't be because someone on a small government panel disliked their eggs. My 2 cents -- I agree with OP, California apparently tends to exercise their power a bit too often at the expense of their constituents. I can't imagine how a black-and-white veto on businesses could be considered as sensible policy... The government should be more incremental in their decisions, i.e. with slow business-agnostic openings.
