People losing their small businesses. Actually had a (former) friend say, "so what man, that's the way America is." Disgusting thought IMO. This country is built on the small business owner. And they're dying out.
I like the term “former friend.” That’s exactly the way one of my friendships is trending.
We were talking about the destruction of the economy and businesses and he said “If you can’t learn to adapt to a changing situation, you deserve to fail. Isn’t that what Capitalism is all about?”
He said this being a self described “socialist.” He thought he got me.
Then I said, “The Government forcing people into their homes isn’t a ‘changing’ situation. It’s wholesale destruction. Expecting restaurants to ‘adapt or die’ is childish. They’re built on people entering a building to eat food. You’ve now closed the buildings. Should they create drive-by restaurants, where they shoot the entrees at your face and hope for the best? The economy didn’t change organically. The government screwed with it. The blame is on them, not the business owners.”
I then told him “It’s very brave of you to expect others to ‘adapt or die’ when you didn’t miss a single paycheck from your government job during the pandemic. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve had an eight month paid vacation.”
I see it al the time online, these goverment employees, wealthy retired people, white collar work form home types DEMANDING a shutdown for 4-6 week or more. Meanwhile, small business, retail and even people looking for work are screwed as no one is hiring and if they are they have a huge pool to choose from making it very had for people trying to get on their feet again.
government employed in the family, the work from home has been great for them
but we oppose all this covid bullshit because it's destroyed so many things and other people's lives. what the fuck is the point of doing well if society is being destroyed? and on top of that its all based on overhyped nonsense
