I'm in an essential industry and never closed, but my customers, and their customers on down the line, are tightening their belts and not using the equipment I service. Therefore, I'm feeling the squeeze. In the last 18 months I went from 3 employees to just me running everything.
YELP has plenty of issues and I can't stress enough that businesses should never pay them a dime for marketing services. That said, they provide a good ground-up view of the state of the economy down to a granular, smallest business in town inclusive level of detail. Here's a report on permanent business closures according to their data.
Tested negative. Boom. So is the nephew. So all 5 of us are good to go to St. John. Now I just have to figure out the crippled system at the airport. Have a Knee Rover and don't want to get pushed around by some overpaid bum in a wheelchair. But still need to bring crutches.
Whole experience with a broken heel has been humbling. People are more helpful than I thought they would be, but it also makes me feel weak and shitty as a guy in his 30's. Find myself telling people to stop it and I probably come across as an ass. lol. Doing this for another month at least and potentially longer.
TL:DR - Don't injure the bottom parts of your feet.
