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
How did you end up being a non-liberal as a restaurant owner in Seattle?
Isn't the restaurant industry filled with ultra-leftists? Like, pretty much every chef is covered in tattoos and goes off on long lectures about the evils of conservatives.
Plus your industry mostly employs illegal aliens.
And that too, you're in Seattle!
My family has always been conservative. You’d be surprised, there’s a lot of us out here but we have been put in a place where we do not publicly express any of our views. We’re in the money making business so it’s best to just lay low.
I can only speak from what I know, so I can’t say if the restaurant industry is full of leftists everywhere else in the states. Every industry in Seattle is dominated by leftists so I don’t have a great perspective on other areas.
Definitely a lot of illegals in the industry though that’s for sure.
Woah that's amazing. So you mean there's others in the restaurant industry where you are, that are also conservative?
How did you find the other conservatives??
And totally agree that it's best to lay low. Since you're in Seattle, some or other commie will turn you into Antifa bait.
Here’s an example: one of our restaurants has a lot of sports memorabilia in it. One day a woman walked by our windows and saw a picture from a Seahawks game against the Redskins. She went online and left us 1 star reviews on every one of our business pages because we were “clearly bigots”. This actually happened.
