California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill allowing alcohol sales to continue until 4 a.m., but only for a select group of people at the new Intuit Dome, the Los Angeles Clippers' $2-billion arena. The extended hours apply exclusively to dues-paying members in private suites, making it a unique exception in the state where most venues must stop serving alcohol by 2 a.m. This decision is part of a broader set of bills Newsom has been reviewing, but it notably impacts only a small, elite group of patrons.

So we're extending alcohol hours, but only for the wealthy elite in their luxury boxes? This is another example of policies favoring the rich while the rest of us are stuck with the same old rules.

This is exactly the kind of cronyism that drives me nuts. Why should only the rich and connected get to party until 4 a.m. while everyone else has to stop at 2? It’s just another example of the government picking winners and losers instead of letting people make their own decisions. If adults want to enjoy a drink after 2 a.m., they should be free to do so, no matter where they are. The rules should apply equally to everyone, not just VIPs in some fancy suite.
