[pilosopotasyo]

It seems the mayor of Las Vegas only wants profit and do not understand the pandemic, in a recent interview with Cnn anchor Anderson Copper she wants the business open including casinos, hotels, and stadium. what do you think about this

She even accused Anderson Copper of being an alarmist, so pathetic

Check out the interview

LoL  

Does that video cover the full conversation? It seems that the Mayor is frustrated with the economy of her city.
It's ridiculous that she wants everything to be open but she doesn't care about the safety precautions or anything else. She wants her city to be a control group? Oh, come on.

How can she become a mayor?

What a pathetic words came from to a mayor, she's too selfish on saying up words.We do understand that everyone do need to work and do need money but it isnt right that
opening up casinos,hotel etc. as of this moment.We know the current condition and she cant just ignore peoples lives just for the sake of profit or money.
Each city now is experiencing economic devastation and it isnt only her place is experiencing one but globally.

This is the dumbest interview I've watched this could double the infection in the US, this mayor should be stopped from implementing it,  she wants profit for those hotel and casino owners than the health of her people, people of Las Vegas deserves a better mayor than a mayor who wants to make a profit, even there a lot of deaths in their country, I like  how Anderson reacts on this interview

@pilosopotasyo I’m stunned by her statements as casinos should not open anytime soon because people won’t maintain social distancing there, and the virus can easily spread out there. @turkandjaydee even I want to know how did she become a mayor as she’s putting people's life at risk for her selfish gains. @milewilda you’re absolutely correct as all the countries in the world are suffering from the effect of this virus, and I hope better sense prevails and she doesn’t get her wish fulfilled anytime soon.

i heard the there is good number of cases within that country so yeah what he wanted to do is not appropriate  not until the country have been fully recovered  .  what makes him more bad is the fact that he accuse someone that stops him but those who stop him are actually right and should be honored with   .  this scenario reminds me on our country too or on our place rather where there were also mayor that wants to open a cock fight gambling despite of the pandemic and quarantine going on but good thing the issue were already reported on media

I heard this last week on the news. It's a hard decision to do being a mayor but she must feel the pressure from the business community in Nevada. Being a mayor doesn't really mean she is in control of the whole city, it's the people who can run and make money for the city that rules it.

Still very risky if they really will open the city for business, in few weeks the people visiting there are like walking dead.

[rhomelmabini]

That's a pathetic statement and if he ever really make it come to reality that may be the reason he'll be put out on her office. Though they have the least confirmed case by state in the USA that's not a reason she opens the city, no city right now I guess are rising it's economy, most are experiencing downfalls.

That business community isn' t the community of the whole, I think they should reconsider that it's still risky.

Exactly no doubt businesses are getting effected and many people who earn daily or related to this business would suffer. But this is just temporary and if see major picture by opening everything and suddenly the cases started to rise again and causing deaths at large then who would be responsible for this and again later on the business had to be shut and their would not  be testing done and only if you turn negative you can go inside no such measure exists.

[turkandjaydee]

OK, so they re-open all of Las Vegas... great... now what? Who's going to go there? Most flights are still grounded and everyone sensible is staying at home. Most businesses will still be operating at a loss, paying employees without making any money due to the lack of tourists.

She doesn't care about that, she just wants every business to open and thinks that they will operate without problems .

She's complaining because she knows she can't do anything. She wouldn't change anything if she could because I think deep down she knows that's still the wrong thing to do.

And she only made her reputation worse. But still, that interview is quite funny and entertaining to watch. At least for me  

[LogitechMouse]

Money/Revenue over the health of the people. Pure selfishness is what she showed in the video.

We know that many business are getting affected by this pandemic and we also know that USA is the country with most number of cases with 1.04 Million and yet she is thinking stupid things like this. Well, casinos and stadiums can open still if she wants it and the owners want it but will the people have the courage to go to a place with hundreds of people?? Do they have the courage to go to a place where they can get affected when they go? If they value their health more than the money then people will not go there even it is opened.

Anyway, they will just suffer more if this will be implemented on the city.

[swogerino]

I think it is clear to all what he is trying to do.He seems to not care at all for people and he wants to keep his city in good financial health.I think the people of Las Vegas will be against a mass opening of the city in this time of pandemic.It is also true that this city relies heavily on gambling and adult entertainment as the main revenue sources so it is a conflict of interests in the end.

However I would never choose financial health against human lives.

[fortunecrypto]

Well, she's just been exposed as a mayor who is insensitive to what is happening around, for her money is important that the safety of her constituents, this could back fire to her if she is going to run  for election, no voter will elect an official who acts and talks like that, if she will not turn back and correct her stand it's the end of her career.

[michellee]

He does not understand how dangerous this pandemic. He can think of opening the business but not today, not in this pandemic, because that can lead to another new victim who will get infected. He should think about his citizen, help them if they don't have food, or they cannot go to the hospital so they can get help from the doctor.

[Darker45]

I remembered she mentioned that she is thinking of the workers of these huge casinos losing their livelihood during this crisis. But whatever, whether she is really after their livelihood or the revenue of her city, she should just try to listen to the experts and decide accordingly. If she is really after the welfare of her people, she should just be providing the necessary assistance for the meantime while keeping them away from going outside their homes, and therefore from danger.

[Genemind]

I think she is just concerned about the income that will come from casinos without considering the welfare and health of the people. The pandemic will show the true intentions of those who are elected. Even in our country, you will see those politicians who have good intentions to help and those who disappeared and made foolish decisions during the pandemic. This is a wake-up call for everyone to do not let this kind of person have such a position next election.

[plvbob0070]

Everyone wants to make things back to normal, but we can't do that yet. They should be the first one to understand the situation and to protect their people's health. Seeing a mayor think that way, it's very incompetent of her. She said that Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. Just wow. She really had the guts to say that on the national tv. How come she thinks of prioritizing everyone's businesses but not the health of her people? I get it, people want everything back, gamblers want to gamble, but casino is a non-essential business if she wants to re-open businesses, allow those necessary businesses only.

The cases of COVID-19 in America are rapidly increasing, and I think she's not even bothered about that because of that "We've had viruses for years". Yeah, great! A mayor that is willing to risk her people's lives just for money.

[ryzaadit]

OK, so they re-open all of Las Vegas... great... now what? Who's going to go there?

All of their circle maybe?
The anti-lockdown protest would be glad to play at there and sharing COVID-19 between of them.
God, IDK these protests make me feels crazy went they don't really care about life and everyone who working harder to handle this pandemic like doctor and nurse.

Not just their protest and supporter, their leader trump makes a statement with no sense went he want to inject disinfectant inside the body. It could be that there is something behind this, making something like this because of politics too.

[bittraffic]

Cooper feels the joke.  

Tough time to open the city for all businesses, it's true that the livelihood and her people could go hungry if she can't provide sources for her people. Its been so early that the hunger already outweighs the risk. A big city like Las Vegas will always have a chaos in times when there will be scarcity of food. People will blame her for opening casinos and stadium but she will also be blamed when chaos strikes due to people starving.

[btc_angela]

Lol, this interview is really a joke, I mean being a mayor she should understand the dangers of opening any businesses right now specially in a crowded place like casino. I don't know who is the mayor's advisers are, but they should all be fired out.

It seems that she really ignorant of the pandemic and it's adverse effect and how someone can get infected. Yes, maybe she just wanted to see his city makes money again, but this is totally wrong. All of us doesn't want this things to happen, but in order for us to at least contained and minimise people getting infected and in worst cases dying, every city in the states should be close until everything settles down.
