-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
COVID didn’t create this mess, public policy did. Don’t let the politicians get away with hiding behind the pandemic. It was their dogged mishandling that created the problems.
Initially the response (two weeks to flatten the curve) seemed reasonable, but once the vulnerable demographic was identified, they should not have applied the same draconian measures across the board.
Mismanagement at its worst.
Let’s not forget in November – VOTE THE BUMS OUT!
This wasn’t covid policy: It was Democrat policies. Red states and cities have reservations rates today that are better than 2019…..dumps like Chicago? Well, much much worse than 2019.
Yet every one of these morons will vote Democrat again in 2022.
No sympathies. I hope you all go bankrupt.
If you want your business to survive then move to Indiana.
Simple as that.
Otherwise get the liquidation paperwork ready.
It would be great if these business owners stood up the tyranny and said no the first time. Instead they all stood down and watched their businesses shrivel. Didn’t we all learn the lesson never to do this again to kids, elderly, businesses, family gatherings? The scare tactics for something with effective treatments readily available needs to stop.
Hindsight is always 20/20.
I don’t see it working the second time around. The population is fed up with mandates and government overreach.
Plenty of business owners around the country stood up. That’s why we had free states and lockdown states. The free states became free because business owners and residents demanded it of their leaders.
Our state, our county? Good luck with that.
