They extended the grace period. When it comers to government edicts, I appreciate grace periods.

Why extend a grace period by 2 weeks for an already length grace period? Did someone not get the memo? Were they counting an President Asterisk and his merry band of grifters to make everything right and roll back any and every thing Trump did? I think the latter is true. They are bunch venal idiots blissfully waltzing down a forest path, which has 1 hungry mount lion per square mile.

Who are the idiots, who need a do over? CALPERS?
