Last I checked, there is no right to own a successful business. The government will support you to make sure you have food and a place to stay. After that it's up to you.
Absolute tool. You’re either a Government worker or a laptop cottage worker. You’re so out of touch with how people need to make a living. Take immigrants who couldn’t get job on arrival and took a risk of owning a business, opening up franchise with their life savings, working 24/7 for pittance.

The majority of businesses are not successful but just keep the lights on.

basketcase is a government employee... the man has no idea what life is like for people that actually have to earn a living by taking initiative.
Although it's true that conditions change and some businesses prosper while others go under. An awful lot of people seized the day by selling ivermectin. Theater actors were in a poor choice of livelihood to weather an infectious disease. So were SPs.

Wow. The only thing historians will recognize is how entitled snowflakes get upset when they are even slightly inconvenienced.
Wow. I’m not sure dying of treatable cancer that went untreated because of a lockdown would be “slightly inconvenienced”.
Seriously, some people.

That is extremely obvious. Holy crap, there really are people like him out there? Scary.

Seems like you think the government is responsible for keeping private business running. Typical of the modern right to demand other people be responsible for themselves while complaining the government isn't helping them enough. In reality, the government is responsible for helping people survive, not profit.

My company (not actually mine but I am heavily involved in running it) made plans when we saw what was coming. For the first year of covid we were barely in the black after years of expansion and nice bonuses but no one in our company was starving on the streets. We've recovered and are doing okay.

There are people who invested everything and were barely breaking even before covid and lost out and I feel bad for them. But I spent part of my childhood on public assistance so I don't feel that much worry for people who had to take fewer vacations or sell one of their cars. People who made the decision to open up restaurants or bars during covid made poor decisions, especially as in the best of circumstances, many fail.

Ridiculous. Totally clueless. If you really want to see a snowflake take a good long look in a mirror dude.
A totally clueless one at that.

Wow. Am I speaking to a plank of wood. I don’t know any CFO or business owner that plans for no cash flow for 2 years.

Well I’m glad you’re doing rosy.

Sorry but what exactly does that have to do with the post you quoted?

Most of us have found ways to continue cash flow. Even gyms and theatres haven't gone two years without cash flow (but who cares about precision in a thread about precision).

Thousands of people lose their businesses every year and sometimes it is from situations out of their control. It sucks but it's a cry from losing the ability to survive. The dumbest part of the argument is that people of your general political bent are typically for business freedom and against welfare and the government paying for other people's mistakes.

You assume incorrectly that I vote for the right.

Maher clearly doesn't speak French or bother to go look at primary sources, eh?
(This is "Hilary Clinton said that Trump supporters were deplorables" all over again.)
Right on cue, Val to the rescue. Tx for the spin, but I'll stick with what I heard in the video.

So you don't speak French either, I guess?
You did say you "heard" the video so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually watched it.

So were the subtitles deliberately incorrect with what JT was saying? He called them racist. Lol. What a plonker.

I’m triple vaxxed and not against it but JT is starting to sound and act like a dictator. It’s time for him to step down. The pressure is too much for him.

We were at 90% vaxxed. Not sure why he dug his heels in on this issue, it’s clearly backfired.

Who did he call racist?
Like I said, this is "Hilary called all Trump voters deplorables" all over again.

The pandemic was a war on freedom, a war on small businesses, a war on the young, and a war on the physically fit/healthy. It was a pandemic of the obese, which sadly encompasses the majority of the West today. If these folks were as frightened of lard as they were of this new flu, there wouldn't have been a pandemic. Covid would have virtually zero impact on generations of the past because previous generations weren't "big boned". Tough pill for some to swallow.

Future historians will recognize this.
That's only if this doesn't get censored somehow for future generations. Since this pandemic started I've had a hard time finding medical information written prior to 2020 online of course. We're no longer allowed to visit the local library.
