Death blow

The reopening rules make it absolutely impossible for me to keep my small business open and profitable. I have decided to give up and do something else. I expect I am not the only one. I believe the waves of unemployment and closures have only just begun. I believe Trudeau pumping money into everything will allow some business to survive for a bit by selling a dollar for 80 cents, but this can't last. They are going to have to loosen the rules soon or it will be the death of this country.

anyone who has the capability of owning a business and the strength to let it go will have the strength to rebuild their dreams again. sufferage is not a virtue and so many peoples pride will cost them the rest of this year holding on as the machine runs them over. hope it works out for you in the long run.

I wouldn't want to see the day where proper small businesses in my community are all but gone and I'm left to only spend my consumer dollars with big multi national corporations that can afford to adapt to this ridiculous new normal.
It's possibly the death of the middle class these A-hole globalists have desired all along.

It sounds all fine and dandy but what good is opening the economy if people are dying? Makes no sense to me. I;m not willing to sacrifice myself or my family for the almighty dollar. That's just nuts. Sorry about your business but you can eventually do something else that may be of benefit to you and everyone else without endangering lives.

You don't make sense

Please explain. Do you run a food truck? Or what? I'm trying to picture the context. Reopening rules are about ability to socially distance and not contaminate. So... what's your industry?

Almost all businesses are facing an increase in expenses and a decrease in number of people they can serve due to covid precautions. This is not rocket science.

I thought I'd drop some empathy. I know how much hard work it is to have a small business. I can only imagine how sad it must be to work so hard to have it wiped out. Hope it all works out man.

I personally know three people who are in the same boat. I feel for you! Good luck for the future! Can't even believe people are down voting this.

Walking Away

We're walking away as well and we weren't even "forced" to shut down. There's no point of losing money for the next 6 months just so you can be shut down again in the fall. Most people don't grasp the wave of destruction that's about to happen.
