small businesses will get hammered and many will go out of business.
The big boys will survive but they will be letting a lot of people go.

Literally heard this earlier today from and early 20's "educated" person


Every single person that is in their early 20’s is a dumb arse.
I was, and every other older person reading this was a dumb arse in their early 20’s too.

I was so arrogant at that age I thought I knew it all and just wished old arse 50 year old men would get out the way. I was too stupid to realize just how much of a dumb arse I was.
Every person that is in their early 20’s that reads this will think they are different and not a dumb arse. They will say some sarcastic statement and think they are the shite. But in reality, 30 years from now they will look back at their younger self and think of how much of an idiot they really were, just like this dumb arse chick that knows nothing about how businesses operate except how to make copies and pour coffee.
Oh, I’m not a boomer either. Gen X.

I have over 100 employees. I had a great year in 2019. I will not be able to hold out for an extended closing. Its an awful situation.
Good luck to everyone. All we can do is our best.

I’d be researching bankruptcy if I owned a business. Save what capital you can for the reset.

You don’t. That’s what this is about. Corporate America and the media have joined forces to destroy the middle class built on small businesses so that the big corporations can buy up their competitors for pennies on the dollar when this is over.

Either the government stops you now or society itself stops you in a month when nobody wants to go outside because hospitals are overwhelmed and catching it means rolling the dice on whether you'll receive care.

for 85-90% of the population, you won't need care

you're shutting down the country when the vast majority of it aren't at any risk of serious complications

if you're worried about ER abuse, suspend EMTALA

There is no way I could afford to pay 12 weeks sick leave to my employees. I will close the business before that happens.

This virus must be doubling at an alarming rate if we're all going to be too scared to go outside in a month
