Shark Tank star and businessman Kevin O’Leary ripped apart the draconian economic lockdowns states have inflicted on the American restaurant industry in response to the pandemic.

During the Dec. 7 edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, co-host Joe Kernen asked O’Leary if it was “possible to thread the needle” between “total lockdowns” and protecting the “vulnerable, because the cure” could be “as bad as the disease.” O’Leary didn’t hold back his frustration against what these orders have done to food service businesses where he holds shares, specifically in Los Angeles, California. O’Leary’s critique — in a nutshell — centered on the completely arbitrary nature of the lockdowns: “How can even the science justify that eating outside is less safe than eating in a big box retailer right across the street?” Los Angeles County had suspended outdoor dining late last month.

I refuse to watch ‘Shark Tank’ because of Kevin O’Leary. Most of his offers are contingent on the inventor moving production overseas.

So maybe O’Leary is a sharp businessman. But in the bigger scheme of things he’s part of the problem.
