Wow, I kept scrolling and scrolling and then it hit me...These were people's livelihood and dreams destroyed.
Not banks, or chain stores... Just Middle class buisiness owners.
And no I do not care about thier lineage or color of skin as Americans
Hopefully they have insurance policies that will now write them a large cheque, which they'll use to move to a better part of the country. Leave these animals to clean up their own mess.
My gut feeling is that many small businesses do not have the best insurance coverage and some may have been over-leveraged--though I can't blame people for being optimistic about the state of the economy pre-2020.
Some of these communities are probably finished unfortunately.
Yup, insurance takes up a huge expense so they take on minimal coverage to make a profit. I can definitely see how its over for them.
Like I was telling my wife, business will be back, but it will be in the form of check cashing places, check cashing places everywhere.
Notice, nobody went after the politicians who caused this mess. Distract, divide, conquer
Or the media. They couldn't get everyone riled up without the media.
You spend years saving, planing researching, finding a need for the community. You put your house up for collateral, to lease a store and start inventory. You cannot afford to hire people to help so you build the store yourself. Weeks of hard labor, but you are finally ready to open. You spend the first years making $4,000 a year working as the only employee 6 days a week for 14 h days. Finally it starts to grow, you are able to hire a local teenager to work the register during slow times so you can focus on improving the store. Slowly but surely, it grows. You now are making a middle class income, still working more than most, but you built it, its yours. You have 3 employees who you have known for a decade. You order from a small manufacturing plant run by a guy just like you, who is delivered by a company run by another guy just like you. You take an interest in your community, helping the local charter school. You are part of organizing a business council that helps police with crimes and the local council with improvement projects.
Then one day, someone screaming "hands up don't shoot" burns your building to the ground demanding justice for police violence and insurance doesn't cover acts of rioting.
Fuck anyone who says that.
