No, it looks like less small businesses (that can't afford to develop these for a single store location), more people on welfare (dependent on the state for everything and therefore helpless against tyranny), and more profits for big business.
Of course. You no longer live in a free country. Those "constitution free" zones at the border were bound to be extended to the rest of the country at some point. This is a perfect excuse. "China virus" and "muh insurrection". The elites have wanted us back on the plantation since the end of feudalism.
It makes total sense. They just convinced the public that we're all domestic terrorists. Then they used that political capital to make the retarded half of the country think it's totally normal for the military to prevent the citizenry from protecting their democracy. Now if anyone tries to retake their country, there will be 25,000 armed soldiers plus corrupt police who will put a bullet in you while your fellow "countrymen" cheer your death.
Does something have to happen to awaken the masses? The masses in Russia, China, Cambodia, etc. all let their government steal their property, take away their means of self-defense, and finally allowed their own genocide.
Oh no, they're literally dying!

We can't even get everyone on this site stop using twitter (even though it sucks, is useless, and run by evil communists). People don't want to unplug from the matrix.
The eastern Europeans that lived under communism warned us on Nov 4th that we needed to get out and protest immediately to stop things. We protested once on 6 Jan, went home to drink beer, and now we're sliding into communism (tyranny by another name).
