As a small business owner, I’d like to say, go fuck yourself

In a free market, companies that can adapt and manufacture things that are needed at this time will survive. Restaurants, gyms, coffee shops that go out of businesses as a result of this will result in lots of retail space for leases when all this settles. Lease rates will have to adjust with higher vacancy, namely go down, entrepeneurs will take advantage of opportunity and start new businesses. In short, those who argue for free market and capitalism can't argue for socialism or communism now. In other words, you can't be a free market capitalist in good economic times and communism/socialism in bad times.

Agree ... disagree?
