I'd recommend asking him if he would be fine if you started advertising his restaurant online, then start posting his business on facebook, IG and Twitter. Worse thing that happens is what is already happening. Best case scenario is that he gets an influx of customers and you become his favourite and potentially a saviour.

I'm starting to think this really is the end..I remember 10 years ago how there used to be all this bullshit about the Illuminati and the New world order, or FEMA camps and agenda 21. Maybe all and all even something as small as annihilating any small businesses like this restauranteer is really part of the ultimate ploy of the NWO. If the government or elites or whoever didn't want to spend the entire economy they wouldn't still hammer everyone and everything with property and income taxes or in regards to banks, interest.

At a certain point on current tragectory there will be no more independent businesses, every single transaction will be done by the government and the largest corporations that have had the line blurred between being an actual business and another branch of the government (ex. Walmart, GM, Facebook, Boeing, McDonald's). After a while of this if they really do intend to kill us all (presuming the virus doesn't or it isn't the plan) they will make their move.

I'm rambling but it's clear there are sinister powers at be and we all need to watch out and look out for each other.

/tg/ here. The thing that hurts the most for me is how many game stores in the area are probably going to shut down because of this. My personal favorite is in salt lake city, it's called Oasis games. It's arguably the biggest game store in the state, so I think it will be just fine but I'm still scared. It was my favorite commander hangout and prereleases were also really fun there too.

I call bullshit. Sandwich shops are your typical high school student slave labor setup. We're talking 6 employees per shift max, but more like 4 and 4 with 2 float crew for lunch and and post lunch rush.

There is no way he had 35 employees on the books unless he had his fucking family and extended family listed as employees which is entirely fucking possible considering its a wop and they are notorious for exploiting tax loopholes.

Capitalism is having a crisis in 2020. instead of having a slow, steadily decline type crisis like 2008, they literally crashed the economy on purpose with (((Covid-19))). confinement. They did this in order to liquidate Capital in excess. They put the economy into fallow, in order to destroy Capital and production in excess.
