If all reopen their businesses at the same time they can't stop it.

The guy who owns the business I work at owns a TON of restaurants (he is taking a bath bigly) and I planted this seed with him today. Suggested he call up a handful of his fellow restauranteurs and see if they can form a pact to all open simultaneously. Hope he goes for it, we'll see!
Already had one in Houston and Another in Dallas last week. Both received huge media attention and neither was shut down. Nobody followed. Fucking cowards.
Shelley Luther on the radio said "there are a lot of people who are asking me how they can help." she said "if you want to help, open your business up. They can't arrest all of us."
She misunderstood the question. They didn't actually want to help, they just wanted to know how they could, theoretically.

Yep saw paid cucks trying to picket outside a home for criminal children.
Working every day against free will and freedom these people are..
Need thousands to topple the first domino though. All must show up.
do it. it's the only way... gov will come around and then claim it was their idea.
Just be careful with that. It could end up as the "Bart turns his desk around" backfire. The other restaurateurs could agree, then stay closed and all report the one guy. Then when things reopen, there's one less restaurant as competition.
I've always wondered how much restaurants are really in competition with each other. For things like chain pizza and fast food franchise, sure, but it's not like BJ's Brewhouse is going to be stealing customers from Roberto's Taco Shop. If you feel like tacos you're not going to BJs and if you want Jumbalaya you aren't going to Roberto's. It's not like if the only restaurant in the country was Applebees I am suddenly going to eat there more than the zero times I already do.
I'm not an economist. I'm sure your question would make a great thesis, actually. But what I do know is that the profit margins in restaurants are razor-thin and even high-end restaurants where the prices are written in words (or not there at all) have the constant danger of bankruptcy looming over their heads.
Restaurants located close to one another, however? People absolutely do choose between them even if they're different things. Some will say "I feel like tacos" but others will look at all the restaurants and choose visually. One less restaurant in a location will make the other restaurants very happy.
Some stuff I read about locating small business said that similar businesses located near one another actually helps business overall. The reason is that more people will be inclined to travel to that area if they feel like there are more choices available and your business will be seen while customers visit competing locations.
It's what makes shopping malls so valuable and why you get auto rows full of car dealerships.
I'll tell you where I'm not going: any Chinese restaurant. No competition there!
I didn't trust them to begin with, the possibility of ever trusting them now is off the table (so to speak.)
You're talking a risk eating at one of those. I drove by one every day and didn't go there, glad I didn't.
Maybe some of the more spirited owners will man up and say "Ok I'll go first, I'll test the waters". They may find that there's quite a bit of non-enforcement.
It would be great to get some feedback!
Could happen, but that's very un-American. We gotta trust each other now most of all.
United we stand.
bars, restaurants might be tough since the state controls health rating (a,b,c) and alcohol license, and i'm sure others which are probably costly to violate
