What will happen to the restaurant businesses in lock down states and city's ?

I am glad you asked. It depends on the types of bars. There are several types.

Restaurant bars are one such type, and Texas State and my local authorities have never had a full shutdown on them. They have been only shutdown to 25% capacity. In order to qualify as a Restaurant bar in Texas or my town, you have to have at least 50% of your income coming from Food sales. These standards must be working because, not many restaurants have failed in our area as a result.

But drinking establishments have suffered. Even when they were allowed to operate under the 25% capacity rule, many bar owners didn't even try, as there were no way to make enough income to make it worthwhile to them. However, some did open.

The TABC were tasked to audit the ones that opened and make sure the bars were following State and local guidelines, mandates, and rules.
It only took them a month to realize that Bars were not and neither were their patrons. So the governor closed them again.

NOT MY RULES DUDE!

I didn't ask about "regular' bars or restaurants. My concerns are with volunteer Fire Co's. and how they pay their bills.
 
Saw someone say tonight that the West is committing suicide with our idiotic pandemic response.

I found myself nodding along, I mean the West was dying anyways and the future was the Empire anyways, but man this sure speeds the wreckage of the West down the tracks!




Note: I wish I could remember who....I get around but I track the ideas not the speakers....I have forgotten already. It might come to me.

Most of the restaurants around here are surviving, but definitely not thriving. They haven't had a wait staff though, so their employees are hurting...bad.
Most people around here support them by getting take-outs. The GF and I do twice a week (on average) and go to a different one each time instead of
just the same one. Others here do too, in our attempt to keep them in business.

Nothing is hurting more than our volunteer Fire Co's. though. I'm a member of two, they pay their bills with profits from punch boards, food & bar sales, dart and pool leagues. These harsh restrictions are putting them in a world of hurt. They had to drastically cut their hours and staff, even the few full-time employees are only working a couple hours a week.

Have you seen even one story about this in the national corporate media?

Nope. They don't care. When these small Fire Co's have to shut down, they'll blame Trump, not the state governors who shut them down.
I've said it before, when Biden & Co. start implementing their socialist agenda, come 2022 and the mid-terms, Americans will realize just
how badly they're trying to dissolve this nation, and kick them out of the House.
When your priorities are giving illegals citizenship, restricting/eliminating our self supporting natural resources (all in the name of Global Warming),
free college, this Green New Deal (that will push ALL energy prices thru the roof), to name a few, the media will be on their knees kissing ass.

A distant relative is the chief in charlotte mi, has been for a long time.

I dont know that they dont care, they likely dont know. This is part of the price we pay for the death of the newspapers, now almost all of the so-called journalists are coastal elites, most of them before they got to their posts allowed their brains to be molded at the failed universities....a lot of these people who constantly shit on the people of Fly-over country have not the first fucking clue what goes on there.

Thanks for the news about the V Fire Departments....this is the first I have heard of their current troubles.

Good point about the wait staff.

More or the less the same here. Places are open but are only allowed to be half full so they only need half as much staff to run it.

It needs to end and it could end, but yeah.
 
We are doing Uber Eats today for the first time, going to spend way too much to get food from O'blarney's Irish Pub.

I am not sure how that will go minus the Guinness, I dont even have any cans of it at home.

Beer distributors and liquor stores are open here, yet bars and Fire Co's are shut down.

The claim is that once people start drinking they stop following the rules, so bars have to shut down.

Sorta sounds like obedience training dont it?

Let me ask you something! Do you give one flying fuck about the 1,000's of firefighters that risk their lives daily fighting forest fires in the western states that are burning entire mountains, forests, and towns to the ground? I'm betting not and for selfish political hatred towards the western states.

Or are you just concerned about your little country bumkin' volunteer firemen not being able to dosie-doe, drink beer, and poot some shool on Saturday nights?

I just don't get how you are conflating the pandemic or restaurant shutdowns with volunteer firefighting?

Most especially since the front line workers in the medical field are dying in huge numbers every day because people are partying like it is 1999, and defying the mitigation efforts to bring this pandemic under control.

Where the fuck are your priorities man? They seem to be a little bit political, tunnel-visioned, and self-centered!

Give me one good reason why I would want to go to heaven! Sounds like a very boring kind of place to me!

You are educated? Apparently you're not literate enough to read, though.

Youbetcha! I am all of those and more. But, I'm not a triggered lizard :laugh:

You could be a nice, congenial, caring, responsible person if you wanted to be.

I bet your parents raised you to be that kind of person! WHAT WENT WRONG?
