When we open up and people stay home
Posted on 4/30/20 at 3:49 am
Posted on 4/30/20 at 3:49 am
For all the folks who think we should open up everything immediately, who will be to blame when businesses open but don’t have enough customers to be profitable?
People are still going to stay home for a while out of concern for their health so several small businesses will have to choose between opening a buisness with a now failing pro forma or staying closed with no more help from the government.
It will be their choice which is important and it will be capitalism to the core so I am interested to see how many consumers will share the burden when they aren’t screaming from their soapbox about the government keeping them shackled inside.

Letting the people and businesses choose is always better than the Government choosing.

That’s true
Do you think people will eat out more than normal or overspend to keep places afloat until some normalcy is reestablished?

Ask the majority on here and Covid was a hoax to begin with. They will be the ones to resume their normal life like nothing happened.

“If we just wait two weeks, they’ll have customers!!”
Stupid

I can't wait to go out to eat. I've been trying to keep supporting the local places on Waitr, but I can't to go out to eat

I’m looking forward to getting out too but there’s only so much I can spend before I put my family in a tough spot financially

There’s no way I would go out to eat right now—no telling who else is/has been in there and no way to eat with a mask on. Not worth the risk. But good for those of you who want to—glad you have the freedom to choose. But the last seven weeks have proven we can get along just fine without restaurants.

I think we need to take one day at a time instead of all this nonsense thinking. Why blame anyone for something out of most people’s control?
A lot of people aren’t making the same guaranteed, full salary they were making before this, and our economic future is still unknown. That is probably going to factor into what people are going to spend more than anything. I’m not rushing out to spend money in an unknown economy. It has nothing to do with staying home for health reasons.

Are you saying business will have more customers the longer we wait?

IDK where you live, but in the last week the amount of cars on the roads here in BR tell me you're completely wrong.
IDK where they are all going but I've been working my normal schedule throughout this thing and there is a huge increase in traffic this week.
If I had to guess people are getting tired of the bullshite and are ready for businesses to open back up.
When it happens some will choose to stay home but overwhelmingly I believe people will begin to get back to normal. (No not the retarded "new normal", fricking actual normal.

I get that. I know the cases at our hospital have drastically decreased the last couple of weeks so that is something I keep telling myself. Hopefully with a couple more weeks of isolation, it will slow down even more.

OP’s logic:
The longer you keep your business closed, the more profitable your business will be.
Sure. If your business still exists after being closed for 2 months, what’s another few weeks? That’ll save the economy. More people on unemployment for longer. 
This may be the most retarded take I’ve read here. Pretty impressive.

It will be their choice
The key words in all that obvious as shite you wrote. THEIR CHOICE.
People are on their “soap boxes” because their freedom- the freedom to choose for themselves- has been taken away. All they want is the ability to decide their own fate. You seem to have an issue with that.
Business owners are resourceful and smart
Enough to make things work. And if it doesn’t, at least they tried. Their failure won’t be forced on them by the government. Or you.
And I’m pretty sure more people are going to be going out then you think. The sky screamers are still gonna scream, but they won’t have as big an audience cause everyone else will be out doing things

You know, minus the huge unemployment numbers and massive spending to support the unemployed. I can survive without the meal but society isn’t getting along just fine

Time for you to get off the government tit and go to work. Sorry.

That’s not my point at all
My question is for all the people looking to place blame wherever they can, where will they place it when they can no longer blame the government.
Will everyone who is so vehemently waving the flag of small buisness support, actually step up and support small businesses when allowed?
FWIW I own 2 small businesses in Baton Rouge. One of which I had to completely shut down during the time of the pandemic and transfer all of my employees to the other buisness which is also operating at 50% revenue.
I know this is tough for you to grasp because all of the fry cooks haven’t had their hours cut yet.
