The Center Square ^ | 12/1/20 | Kevin Bessler

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is reaching out for help for the beleaguered restaurant and bar industry, the same industry facing restrictions from his state-imposed mitigations.

“I want to urge the Congress to step up and include in the stimulus package support for restaurants and bars that have been so hard hit by the virus,” said Pritzker Tuesday at his daily COVID-19 briefing.

He’s a despicable tyrant in addition to being arrogant and most of all clueless.

Getting rid of small businesses was the plan from the china globalists, small business equals economic freedom, self sufficiency, patriots, trump supporters.

Bars and restaurants, are the ultimate small business, yes I know about chains, but many owners of these small businesses usually have one or two locations and they hire a lot of people.

Getting rid of them was part of the plan, part of the depopulation reset that we are going to experience over the next 10 years

Wait for China Virus 2.0, more deadlier and will wipe out people 30 and older.

Then China Virus 3.0 will wipe out everyone except the elites and their henchmen, they would have the vaccine. This will give the elites what they always wanted, a world to themselves. They would be killing off everyone not useful and everyone who isn’t white. Wait that is racist right? But think about it, who are the elites? White leftists, they only pander to minorities for political power, and once they get ultimate power, they have no use for minorities anymore.....

Wonder how much of this vacated commercial real estate will be bought by China. They’ve been investing in properties for decades now.

He pushed the whole state back to phase 2 last week. No inside dining or bars open. it’s been like this since March. It’s all about bailing his fat butt out.

They already owned most of it, they bought a lot in 2008

China is big picture and long term planning

They are going to be the world’s super power in 10 years

United States is just going to be their penal colony, full of drug addicts, losers, unemployed, criminals, they don’t want in there country

The aid will go toward bailing out public pension funds.

Count on it.

The programs they set up to help business owners with their COVID shutdowns were BS anyway. The PPP? Yeah, the corporations gobbled it up. Most small businesses couldn’t afford to take on the loan or didn’t qualify. The other one ran thru the SBA? Yeah, it ran out of money real quick and they randomly decided they would base the money sent....$1000 per employee. My small business has been shut down since March with no light at the end of the tunnel....unless it’s a train. Since the business is online and we contract everything out it is just my daughter and I that qualified as employees and we got $2000. And we can’t reopen until venues such as concerts, sports games, etc. start again.
