I knew a guy that owned a Filipino store in my city. It sold all sorts of Filipino products. He had the same mentality. If he felt like closing the store, he would. He went out of business as well.
Marxist have conditioned people to believe business owners don’t have to work.
IMO, this operation was started to get some free, irresponsible money from the gummint (The gummint in place to destroy America) and never INTENDED to actually work and turn a profit.
