What a fucking mess of a situation for local businesses who otherwise support restrictions yet are also pushed to the brink of desperation in breaking them to survive right now. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ...

If there was suitable federal support in place, these headlines would be few and far between.

Walmart got ahead of this decades ago, by continuously rebuilding just outside the city limits.

I live in PA and absolutely think that restaurants should be open. Just follow certain protocols and there shouldn't be an issue. Why can we have thousands of people shopping at a Walmart but can't have a small diner or restaurant open?

This was a big ordeal in Kentucky as well in November/early December. Some restaurants flipped Gov. Beshear the bird and just kept their doors open, fines be damned; many more were indicating that they planned to defy an extension to the dine-in ordinance. (The extension ultimately didn't happen.)
@TheRealDill2000 hit the nail on the head, this kind of culture war was inevitable in the winter months without proper federal support. A lot of people have no doubt whittled through their "do it for the local businesses" money and motivation at this point, and outdoor dining isn't feasible (or at least enjoyable) in most of the country right now. Table heaters can only go so far. --- The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why can we have thousands of people shopping at a Walmart but can't have a small diner or restaurant open? Because everyone needs food and supplies which Walmart sells; moreover, you keep your mask on during your time in Walmart. You cant do that in a restaurant. The restaurants dont need to open, they need cash to support the owners and employees. Govt needs to step in for people who were forced to shut down. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why can we have thousands of people shopping at a Walmart but can't have a small diner or restaurant open?Because you're not taking your mask off and placing things into your mouth at Walmart, because at Walmart you're wearing a mask non-stop, because at a restaurant you're sitting at a table where countless others have sat while surrounded by others with no mask --- SW-8316-3213-4720 ...

Why can we have thousands of people shopping at a Walmart but can't have a small diner or restaurant open? Walmart doesnt require your mask to be off like eating food in a resturant does. Grocery stores are more important as well. Society can function without resturants. No grocery stores is nigh impossible. Resturants and Katrina are also more likely to violate social distancing/capacity rules by the social nature and tight margins f the resturant industry --- My Mario Maker 2 Maker ID is J2K-RFD-K4G Even In sigs FOE! http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/665/328/d75.gif ...

Shits fucked, all these local restaurants are closing their doors for good around where I live. This time next year my options will be Applebee's or Chili's and that's it. I want to say I can't believe how useless the government has been in all of this, but then I remember how the last four years has been and then I'm not that surprised.

Resturnsts should be carryout only at best. All existing rent and debt for most small business and certain larger buisnesses(mostly those in industries heavily restricted/shutdown or those who can provide strong proof of signifncant losses. Actual loss of money not just loss of potential earnings or whatever) and all private individuals except the extremely wealthy shouldve and continue to be suspended with no accrual of interest or back payments until the vaccine is widely available for several months --- My Mario Maker 2 Maker ID is J2K-RFD-K4G Even In sigs FOE! http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/665/328/d75.gif ...

Were reopening them next week with gyms. Anyways for restaurants, PA has dropped the ball hard at not only paying employees UC but also money for small businesses. Some are just opening anyways because theyre faced with either going put of business entirely or a possible fine. --- Nintendo Switch FC: SW-0807-8653-6885 "Blue has the most anti-oxygens." ...

Honestly, if the local government cannot support the people and businesses it's forcing to close, it should really have no right to shut them down. Impose all the safety regulations you want like limited capacity and fine them out the ass if they refuse to enforce them, but full closure, if it means the livelihood of these people, is quite shitty.

I think thats why Wolf called this a pause. It was mostly just to keep people in during the holidays.

What's really stupid is that the restaurants are allowed to put up large tents outside with walls on all four sides and heaters inside and seat people in there. It's like the photo that keeps getting shared around "so we're not allowed to inside but if inside is outside then it's ok". Either tell restaurants they're not allowed to seat anyone whatsoever, or let them seat people inside.
