From what i can tell it the Covid definition of 'essential' has something in common with 2008's 'Too Big To Fail'. Both incidents (controlled financial demolitions?) saw vast sums transferred upward, and small to medium players left out in the cold, or as in recent cases "locked down". Hard to keep a business valid when you cant operate it. As far as the Speed of Science.just file it under all the idiotic non-scientific claims these jokers have made....its. along list.
I'm wondering if we can mount anywhere near as good a recovery this time around. There were many small businesses that got their start because of the last recession. People who lost their jobs and couldn't find another one became entrepreneurs. Some of them even said without the recession they wouldn't have tried to start their own business.
I'm sure there are some who will try this time too, just not as sure that many will be successful.
Watched Idiocracy about 3 months ago. Recommend it highly. Only problem is it was obviously intended as a farce, but all these years later plays as a sober documentary.
It's difficult to control small businesses. They need a simple and effective control techniques to drive compliance. Small businesses are antithetical to stakeholder capitalism, which is communisms with Chinese characteristics on which bozo campaigned.
Here in Oregon art galleries were essential but not other small local businesses like clothing stores, furniture and decor, or specialty lotions stores. Crazy logic.
I had a small custom jewelry store and also had my paintings on display so was technically a gallery but didn’t bother going in for regular hours, downtown was dead as a doornail. Who knows how much I could have made those weeks, ya can’t prove a negative. But the year came out great... I canceled my pre-planned (since 2019) May retirement sale and moved it to December... a smart move.

It's the fulfillment of the "Idiocracy" prophecy.
I HAVE to watch that movie!

Everyone should. But you can just look West to CO and see it in real time... 🤪
The "speed of science" is like the fake moon landing.
Ssshhh, dont jostle the unshakable faith!!
Getting rid of small business seemed to be their goal and part of their great reset model.

I guess I was essential after all 🤣
