There are some people in this world who think the governments needs to do more for them.

There are some people in this world who think the government should stay TF out of our lives, but who also believe people need to not be so selfish and act with more compassion for their fellow man.

I'm in the second category.

Why wouldn’t he just text his customers and quietly reopen?

That may have been his original intent...until one of his customers leaked it to the press. Heck, someone at the Business Report might even be a customer and received the text themselves.

Right. But if your employees are making more being unemployed, then it doesn't help much. The better plan would have been to backstop the business insurers.

So you make a big deal about how macho you are as a business owner, and then you fold after a few phone calls?
One of those phone calls was likely an authoritarian bureaucrat that threatened his license.

Also, L-O-fricking-L at the government licensing hair dressers. The amount of disappointment our founding fathers are experiencing in their graves is immeasurable.

Business Interruption insurance is crap, because they refuse to cover so many things, including impacts from pandemics.

Something I have heard is that you may start to see some kind of NFIP-type program for business interruption insurance.

And if he didn't know that was going to happen when he went public with his plans... geez. He can't be that stupid.

No disagreement there. Add florists to that list.

I take it you’ve never been, it’s 38.00 for a shampoo, haircut and hot towel. The Gentleman’s Choice is $68.00. Dude can open all he wants, too rich for my blood.

Bluffing. Just like the place in Tuscaloosa did (and folded like a pussy).

No idea what this means.

Get PPP...start paying employees...doesn’t matter if you’re open or closed.

Not to mention it covers rent too.

Did you two brilliant entrepreneurs forget that sales don't have to be as high when the government is paying your payroll and possibly your rent and utilities?

I had scheduled for Monday. Got the call to reschedule and spoke with them. The decision to wait was based on the stylist being in jeopardy of having their license revoked. Seems they got a few calls from local authorities in law enforcement who want to enforce stupidity but will not come out and make a public statement. It appears they want to maintain the appearance of being “conservative” for their base supporters but will threaten the workers lively hood to get their way.
