To me that is the stupidest thing ever. Anyone with common sense should know that whatever restrictions are in place are only temporary until the covid emergency was over. After which life goes back to normal. The thought that you'd uproot your life, move away from family and friends, maybe quit your job, leave behind your social support network, disrupt your children's lives and remove them from their friends, and all of that because of a temporary health measure is beyond my comprehension.
that forced many to go out of business because there werent enough business to stay open. people didnt want outdoor seating or delivery from sit down restaurants. so yeah, covid restrictions annihilated private business/restaurants
No one is saying that! But, we are saying there wasn’t a good plan in place to compensate these restaurant owners. When they got to reopen rent was upped and food costs were up. They had zero breathing room. This industry was hit the hardest.
So, you’re not going to even try to empathize with these small business owners they never saw this coming. A lot of them lost everything. We’ll see how cavalier you feel when it’s you that gets rocked like that
It’s unbelievably greedy of these people to think that them making money should have taken priority over emergency public health measures that saved thousands of lives. They really think we should have sacrificed so many people so they could make their Mercedes payments?
You think small restaurant owners are trying to make Mercedes payments? I don’t think any of them were wanting to risk lives to be open. But more should’ve been done to help them financially

I feel like most people are moving for taxes and lower COL.
The idea of people caring about "wokeness" is still something I can't really believe.
