Quoted from radial_head:
Modern had to close due to the lease being up in combination with the economics of it not being feasible. Not looting, not vandalism, not rioting or violent crime. The risk that cities face right now is that the density is NOT helpful for the economic stability of any business there. No doubt they are being SLAMMED due to the shutdown. What it should tell us is that a large majority of businesses run on an incredibly small profit margin. Airlines to hotels to bars to arcades. Being kind and supporting these businesses in any time we can is without a doubt what we should all be joining together to do, whether it be through legislation or donating money where we can.
This is the dumbest bunch of shit ...
1)”density NOT helpful for economic stability”....so more potential customers isn’t going to help a business get more business? This makes no sense. Higher density makes any business plan more attractive to lending institutions. Obviously, someone didn’t take any economics classes in their life.
2) “being kind and supporting business ... through legislation or donating money”
WTF!!?? How about “you give me a product or a service and I give you money for it” instead?
Where does the money come from for your “legislation”? It’s from taxes collected in said exchanges of products for money.
Donation? “Hey! Your burger joint is shut down, and I’m hungry. But hell....here’s $20 for no burger because it’s a donation to keep your family fed, while my belly grumbles??”
3) “ the lease was up”. This is the best one...”hey, I’m making money hand over fist but my lease is up, so I’m gonna pack up shop and go home. It has nothing to do with the fact that my customers are prevented from coming to my arcade and they are afraid to walk down the street with cash in their pocket after the police are now gone”
Keep trying to invent new ways to justify your support of tyranny and anarchy. My popcorn bowl is big and the cupboards are well stocked with Orville Reddenbacher.... gotta say watching NYC burn won’t break my heart.
Long live Iceman!!!!
