allowed to have one customer at a time in the business. the speaker complied with the rules as presented. everything we've seen, that's simply not true. it's outdoor service only. there is no indoor component yet. anyone want to jump on this, chris? what do you think? obviously sometimes prominent people get special treatment, right or wrong. >> yeah. i was actually diving in a little more. she talked about the frustration, the owner did, about having something, maybe a double standard type of thing. maybe they do get special treatment. during these times it's a little tough to maybe accept that because a lot of people are struggling financially and want to get back to normal. there's two sides to the story always. >> her hair looks great. >> we can't actually show the video. it does appear there's at least one moment in time they captured her without the mask. if she truly is in there by herself with the stylist who was

masked, you can say perhaps they're still keeping their transmission risk low. i think when you're in the public eye and especially if you're a woman, you're often judged on your appearance. it is not fair, but it is something that happens. if she doesn't look professional or polished people criticize. >> the issue is obeying the rules, right? >> we don't know who else was in there, how many people. you're right, salons are closed for business right now indoors anyway in san francisco. remember lori lightfoot in chicago, she had that haircut as well. >> oh, that's right. a popular dating app is on a mission to encourage americans to vote. okcupid will ask you if you vote, if the answer is yes, a 2020 voter badge will be added to the answers no, it shows
