In b4 Biden claims victory over covid as the vaccine is released

I’ve been getting emails in the past few weeks from restaurants and small business that I figured could weather the covid storm now offering discounts, free delivery, and even credit toward future purchases. I know this is not a normal time but something Anthony Bourdain wrote in one of his books always resonated with me, it’s along the lines of, as soon as you start straying away from the reason you opened, you’re finished.

Ie. your a fancy bar that aims for higher end clientele, yet you start having a $3 high ball happy hour, this signals the end. Feels like that is the way things are going for some of these businesses now.

All the while people with equity in a home, money in investments, and solid employment through companies that have been relatively unaffected have most likely substantially increased their overall wealth.

RIP small business.
