Sometimes I'm glad I dont live in the U.S. because there is no way my father's small bussiness could survive there in situations like that.

A lot of small businesses haven't survived. Restaurants and bars chief among them.

Your country hasn't had a lockdown that hurts small business?

We had, but they ended. Funnily lockdowns here will start again this Friday.

You get people in the media here in Switzerland clamoring for another lockdown. Meanwhile a fried bluntly told me his little restaurant won't survive another lockdown. It's politicians and the media versus the people.

Just in time to introduce the Great Reset in January.

We did receive government assistance, but we barely scraped eventhough the online store tripled in revenue. If we didn't have an online store we would have been done. In one of the days we had 1 sale of 1.60 which is less than $1.

Common sense would be to allow the businesses to operate, not pay them to do nothing. Everyone understands the (minimal) risks of COVID, people should self regulate under that understanding.
