Haha you think once the lockdown ends bars and restaurants are gonna come back? People are our business, and at least half the country is froggtened of a cold. You think people are gonna go out and have someone prepare your food? Thats over. The margins are too tight. If 10 pct of those who used to eat out regularly stop, its all over. Have fun at taco bell you fucking fascists.

Chinese food? In America?? Done. Never again.

The lockdown itself is going to put millions of restaurants and bars out of business. Many will never reopen.

Could you please explain how JIT manufacturing is to blame? I'm not being antagonistic - I looked it up and am trying to understand. Is it about the masks and ventilators, or is it because these companies have a business model that can't handle economic crisis? Is so, why is that the case?

I like to think of it using the analogy of a highway. People in the past would leave plenty of space between them and the individual in front of them on the road, say 2 car lengths while traveling 35 mph. Technology improved, allowing us to move faster and faster, now we are all going 70 mph, 2 car lengths from each other. More dangerous than it use to be, but still some buffer space. Economists figured out they could fit 2 more cars on the road for ever car by putting them into that 2 car length space between each car. You can think of JIT as a way to fit more economic activity inside an area that in the past served as a safety zone (think large warehouse and having extra raw materials in case of an economic event or keeping cash on hand in a safe spot).

Well, the Coronavirus tree just fell on the road and everyone who was literal millimeters from each others bumpers just slammed into each other, creating a 330 million car pileup.

I'll only trust bat soup if it's made by Wayne Enterprises. The CEO knows about bats.

Sadly I do not. My questions at this point in my life are merely rhetorical.

Did bars come back after Prohibition?

You think people are gonna go out and have someone prepare your food? Thats over.

Same as when restaurants went extinct after the Spanish Flu.

Chinese food was invented in America. You do know this?

Prohibition does not equal pestilence.

Eating out wasnt common until the last 30 or 40 years.

Chinese food, in america, is dead and buried. Old news. Not unless it comes in fucking pizza boxes and is outwardly owned and operated by a fat ginger will i eat china food ever again. That shit always tastes the same because it all,comes from the same supplier.

Begone, China shill
