To elaborate: My wife and father in law own two restaurants in Seattle. We’ve been in business for 13 years and due to the authoritarian measures put in place by our pathetic loser governor Jay Inslee, we’re now on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. Best case scenario we can sell them for less than half of what they’re actually worth. All of this to “protect” people from a fucking virus that 99% of people recover from. I got covid, so did my wife, so did my father in law, so did my 90 year old grandma with Alzheimer’s, so did a family friend that recently had a liver transplant and is severely overweight.....we all recovered! The exploitation of coronavirus is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in my life.
Meanwhile the grocery stores are full of hundreds of people, you can sit on an airplane shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people, you can go to the fucking mall and their food courts are open!! The fact that there are millions of Americans who legitimately think that ANY of this is about public health absolutely blows my mind.
The media and democrats and honestly 75%+ of republicans are truly sick. They will crush you under any circumstance for their own benefit. /rant
What kind of asshole is downvoting? Sorry bud for your trouble... we got our own which involve lost income over a year. Family has gotten Covid and recovered.. my father had pretty extreme side effects and I’m still a nonbeliever as far as the narrative and the necessary pain certain people like you and me need to suffer. The the WHO comes out and says on Wednesday, oops, we had those PCR tests at way too many cycles and that makes false positives... sorry. Umm, we all knew this mid summer and The Who doesn’t announce it until all small business is destroyed. I’m convinced that it’s an attack on the country’s economy and that we have worse things in store for us. Just wait until 15 dollar an hour minimum wage. Sorry for your troubles, bud. Lots of us out there like you can sympathize.
Thanks for the kind words. Not sure where you’re from but we already have $15/hr min wage. Honestly even if covid didn’t crush us, Seattle eventually would have. The cost of doing business here is unbelievable. I can only imagine how many other small family businesses are going through the same thing. It’s really maddening to go through.
