Small business wouldnt be going tits up if their owners didnt drain them of every dime. We had three years worth of revenue saved, used 6 weeks of it. Our competitors dropped like flies and now we are busy as fuck.

I'm from a red state that's locking down again. We're going carryout and delivery only. We had no warning.

A guy down the road bought like $40k worth of steaks for his restaurant a few days ago. He was saying he assumes he'll have to just give it all to charity.

I'm not sure how that local business owner could have possibly successfully navigated this situation. The very nature of his business relies on the stability offered by bulk purchases and a desirable location accessible to the public: if you remove those things, then there are no more steak houses for the general public.

... So you know, add that to the list of banned things I guess.

Considering the World Economic Forum has already stated one of their goals is for meat to become an occasional treat, this is no surprise.

See how they have been pushing fake estrogen laced burgers and even the eating of bugs like in Africa!? They are attempting to condition us to live as a subhuman lower class while they fly around and eat steak in their private jets.

I was put out of business by monopolistic practices in my industry from large players. In order to compete I was unfortunately forced to put myself in a precarious financial situation. Ended up calling it quits with plans to start up in a different industry. I do agree that many owners do not reinvest appropriately or keep funds in reserve though.

I run a small business, and even though we haven't shut down, big companies now 100% prefer to do business with other big businesses.

We're being shut out of contracts.
