I bet hal is so insulated that he doesn't know a single business owner who has been adversely affected by this.
Yes, because people in my line of work don’t support local businesses, aren’t friends with/related to/married to local business owners, and don’t actually own small businesses ourselves.

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze.

What do Republicans have to say to said restaurant owner other than $600 of your own money is all you get!

Until the virus is under control the economy is not going to recover, and people will not feel safe enough to go out. The best way to do that is if everybody practices strict social distancing while vaccine rollout happens. People are selfish and dumb and won't social distance well enough, so sometimes for the good of all the government will force people to do so. Certain businesses such as restaurants and gyms and bars are particularly hard hit when the government puts the clamp down. Guys like the dude in the video are only hurting themselves and everyone else in the long run, since by insisting on staying open they contribute to extending the number of days / weeks / months until the virus is under control and people feel safe enough to go out and socialize again.

IMO if the government shuts down a business they need to compensate the employees and owner. They did in March and it was a lifesaver for a lot of businesses and people. They should do it again; it's the right thing to do.

This. Just this.

And no one ask "where does the money come from," all money comes from somewhere, find it.

The fed can decide to create as much money as it wants. Budget Deficit does not necessarily equal Debt. It’s probably not a good thing though from an inflation standpoint.
