All the closures are really fucking people up. Politicians are creating this mess, they are trying to put people into poverty artificially (all under a nice excuse). It's really fucked up.

That's how I feel about it, because their results don't match their words, they match them fucking with us though.

I see a huge opportunity in the near future. My hope is, the corporate food industry will have lost their asses so much. That we never see 80% of all restaurant space rented by TGIF, Sweet Tomatoes, Ruby Tuesdays, Chili's and the like. Sends the corporate food investors reeling for a long time to come. I hope people with a genuine appreciation of food will fill the void.

It's going to be a good time to be in the food industry and local entertainment.

Yelp data shows permanent small business closures have exceeded 60% in some markets

Eh, I'm extremely skeptical of anything yelp does and their data. We're doing just fine out here in IL hill billy country. All the businesses are open and frankly some of them are pretty damn busy. Haven't lost one in my small town, which in theory should be more susceptible to closures. 60% is the extreme case and clearly what the media does to freak you out and get clicks/views.

Not gonna happen. The second a place becomes popular, 90% of the time the owner is thinking franchise the fucker. And then it becomes another place that pumps out shit food.

Lost dozens in my town. And neighboring towns. And all around California as our Dear Leader Gavin Gruesome has ordered restaurants across the state to commit ritual seppuku in service of the Democrat empire. He might kill Hollywood itself before he’s done! Hasn’t been any movies shot here since March.

The crazy thing is how meek and willing the business owners are to kill themselves for this fucked up reason. They aren’t suing and getting injunctions, or simply defying the illegal order in any real numbers. It’s the exception anyway.
If i was a small business owner I’d ignore Newsome and do whatever I could to maximize business. When I got fines I would refuse to pay and sue instead.
