I’ve said from the beginning that if people stop doing business, governments stop receiving tax money. That is the big one for me.

And a lot of Seattle restaurants closed their doors forever a month ago when that nursing home got hit.

The fact is that the longer this goes, the more the economy (world) shrinks. And this is not good for an economic model based on growth.

But make of it what you will.

Look at it this way...IF the world contracts at the same time who is in the best position right now to bounce back strong? That's right...THIS nation....

Your mention of Seattle also brought up another positive...what areas are getting hardest hit by the virus? That's right..liberal enclaves.

Actually a lot of those restaurants were planning to close anyway due to the minimum wage and the homeless vagrants ruining Seattle’s ambient night time traffic. Tom Douglas had already announced his plan to close all his Seattle restaurants which numbered four to six, can’t recall. The Seattle restaurants just jumped on the band wagon saying they were closing due to Covid-19.
