Walmart, Costco and McDonald's all cheer!

Thanks COVID-19. That worked much better than expected.

Can the government guarantee the customers will come back?

It’s the government’s fault they were all shut down so I guess we are going to have to pay.

Go complain to your left wing governors and mayors.

More fast-food (junk food) restaurants. What’s not to love?! /s

In a few years, then, a huge number of new restaurants will open up. The number of people who want to run a restaurant, and are willing to give it a shot, is incredible.

In other words:

The Government is Taking These businesses without compensation, there is NO clause in the COnstitution for the Flu.

Dan Wu, an immigrant chef and owner of Atomic Ramen in Lexington, Kentucky, operated his restaurant for two and a half years before COVID hit. The location’s closure turned from temporary to indefinite as the government instituted stay-at-home orders and dining room restrictions. To-go and delivery weren’t feasible lifelines. Eventually it became clear the restaurant wasn’t going to hang on, so Atomic Ramen closed permanently about three weeks ago.

So does San Wu get a real job then as another 'just' hated W-2 worker ( the kind the GOP abandoned 40 years ago)?

Or how about a cheaper fix.
Oregon could open their restaurants NOW.

The majority of small business owners (60+%) are Republican. Democrats are using the shutdowns to put them out of business.
