I'm pretty terrified of the boring dystopia we're going to be left with when all this is done. Drinking in wetherspoons and having a meal at a TGIF because no other business managed to survive 2021.

That's the sad part, I am all for covid restrictions, hell I just watched both of my parents suffer through the illness. That being said the destruction of small businesses all over the world is a hard pill to swallow

I don't know if the US is like this, but there are entire towns in the UK where every storefront on the high street is a cellphone provider when just 20 years ago they were all independently owned shops.
It's actually fucking ridiculous. A town with one high street and there's O2, Virgin, Vodafone, EE, CarPhone Warehouse...who the fuck needs any of that --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

In the US it's banks. You can literally have an intersection with a different bank on each corner and it wouldn't even be unusual enough to merit notice. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

By me we got the providers, banks, and coffee chains yeah. But the fast food places by me are nuts. All in view of each other: taco bell, mcdonalds, kfc, wendy's, burger king, boston market

Plus 2 Starbucks and a Dunks Oh yea, this too. Also, fast food chains tend to cluser. So like... you'll go into town and not see a single drive through, and then between 2 or 3 lights suddenly every chain is there in a row. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
