Greedy fuck businesses

i doubt youd be saying this if you owned a small business and your only source of income was forced to be closed by the government. most of the big corps are staying closed because they can afford to. joe down the street with his coffee shop, gym or barber shop cannot afford to go without income for months.

Well maybe when you own a business and are suddenly in the situation of losing it you’d think differently

Big corporations got massive checks from the government and will make it through the corona crisis just fine, hell they'll even make a profit, cause the system favors only big businesses and those with government contracts.

But you'd be singing a different tune if you had a small business... Especially if you were some poor fecker with a small business, that got no government aid. Someone fecker like me.

I still have to pay my employees some money to keep them around. Good and loyal employees are hard to come by.

I'm working half hours at my day job (selling cars, we were allowed to reopen), filling in the rest by driving buses. On a side note, all professional drivers in Europe must NOT wear masks, so they can be identified by police, or when flashed by a speed camera. So we have to wear masks, but not everyone has to wear them, but not wearing them is punishable... Stores get plexiglass walls, yet anyone wanting to buy a ticket can sneeze their guts out at me as much as they want and that's ok. But outside of the bus, I must wear my mask... I've had to dispute 2 tickets for not wearing a mask, because I'm a professional driver. Politicians are IDIOTS!!!

Anyway, I'm living off money I've saved, keeping my business afloat with my damn savings. So excuse me for trying to not end up bankrupt, hungry, sick and homeless, out on the street!

If you stop the economy of a country, that country is transported instantly to it's death bed and on the way to it's destruction. 50 MILLION unemployed in the US alone. Virus, or no virus... you need money to survive. Who is gonna give you free money just like that?! Nobody.

How would you feel if you owned 2 apartments with expensive insurance on one. Suddenly loose all your income while still paying those bills.

But... but... but FREEDOM!

I should be free to drink a fifth of Jack Daniels, get in my car and drive past the local school at 60 mph! I should be free to take my AR-15 into downtown Tulsa or Houston or Memphis, and target practice on the local pigeons! And I should damn well be free to walk around without a mask if the very stable genius in the White House says that's just fine.

Fuck a face mask. If you’re scared, don’t go out.

I completely agree with you.

People is stupid

This is the price of capitalism. This is business. The bottom line above all else. People do not factor into the equation. This is why the planet is sick money is the most important thing. This is why society is crumbling. It is unnatural. The world is out of balance.

But the good news is that there is a tipping point.

although i agree that things should still be shut down and people should take way more precautions, i voted normal because i understand why small business owners would want to reopen. corporate CEOs on the other hand, they're being very greedy and don't need anymore money. but small business owners depend on business for their income, so i don't think they're being greedy, i think they just want to get from day to day. but i still think that things should be shut down and quarantine should be happening

People who were pissy about not being able to get haircuts or their nails done value their own appearances over life, and thats messed up

No it's not normal to put it above human life and I'm disgusted by it. I'm even more disgusted by the fact that the government doesn't help these businesses so that we can squash this disease. I'm disgusted by the whole thing. :(
