Conditions will get worse. I live in a tourist town and we are having way low numbers of visitors.
The shutdown almost killed a lot of places (thanks, Trump...maybe you should have ignored Fauci rather than making him defacto President) but they were starting to come back.
But this has stopped. I was in Europe a couple of weeks ago, and it was definitely not hopping with tourists or even locals in the restaurants.
Now inflation is hitting everybody and they just can’t afford travel or dining, and any even modest expenditure has surged in price...and our governments are so opposed to freedom of movement that they are happy to make it increasingly difficult and expensive to travel, go outside of our 15 minute cities, or eat anything except what they wan us to eat.
Soon even the modest good life will be only for the elites (of which we will not be members).
Here in Branson, MO to take my kid on vacation. It’s not very busy here.
We are probably in a recession.
Hospitality and service industries are not hiring. It’s nationwide
We tried to tell the people Bidenomics will destroy the middle class. Another “Progressive” tale of Wall Street not Main street. Small businesses are suffering. We need real agency not more government intervention.
