60 percent of restaurants have gone out of business

You sound like a coviz boot licker.

Almost 15 million people are employed by restaurants alone. That doesn't include the entirety of the hospitality industry.

A strong number of those seem to have little on their plate other than collecting their unemployment bonus checks that they are busy vandalizing and committing arson.

since covid started. that industry has a high fail rate so it's not surprising. No major impact on our country because of this

---

So you don’t think that hundreds of thousands of restaurant and hospitality workers being unemployed and getting taco eater funded unemployment benefits will have an impact?

Jots because you don’t feel it in your little redneck of the woods doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

Grocery stores are making a killing especially WalMart. Also, restauranst with a solid pickup service are thriving. What sucks is that those restaurants that relied on "atmosphere" are pretty much SOL.

Beg to differ.

60% of the restaurants closing in your city will be felt.

Outside of some very upscale restaurants (New Orleans maybe?), most of the service/hospitality industry people I knew were young folks, college kids looking for spending money, or otherwise young and not yet into something like an industrial/contracter job. These were people who liked the late hours, and liked to party. Waiters, bartenders etc.

Not being mean, but they don't necessarily impact society.

Isn’t that based on data by the dying platform known as Yelp?

178m unique visitors per month doesn't sound like dying but who knows

Will be several “under new ownership” restaurants revived post covid plus brand new restaurants. The economy will determine how many of those emerge.

The only reason travel companies haven’t been hit harder are that you can defer trips and you aren’t keeping inventory in stock.

Restaurants have rapidly rotating stock that goes bad.

Retail possibly has stock which is seasonal and you may be stuck selling at a loss depending on situation (ex - If beaches are closed for summer, you take a loss on beach items.).
