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
Open your doors. If you’re going to lose the business anyway make them expend resources to stop you.
The city will fine us or revoke our business license. It’s a lot more complicated than “just open”. Then you also have to worry about the community backlash for such an action. Like I said, this is Seattle. Everyone’s a maniac here.
Sorry for your troubles, but honestly... get far, far away. You're only hurting yourself, and your family staying there. Hopefully you can get 1/2 of what it's worth at least.
We’re all discussing a move to AZ in the next couple years. I am born and raised here though and it feels so defeating to cave to these tyrants and give my home away to the radical left. Sadly they’re so entrenched here I feel like we have no other choice than to jump ship and go somewhere our votes might count and we can speak freely.
