The Number of Small Businesses Destroyed By COVID Lockdowns Will ASTOUND You –

Over at PJ media, Victoria Taft [1] does a good job of explaining how covid lockdowns killed off about 40% of small business in this country. And the thing is there wasn’t a good reason for it. Or at least, the reason given wasn’t the real reason…

While bureaucrats gave Walmart, Costco, Lowe’s, and other big-box stores “essential” status, allowing them to stay open during the COVID pandemic, 38.9% of America’s small businesses, the providers of most of the country’s jobs, were forced to close based on fear, hackneyed social-distancing rules, early ignorance about transmission, and an insatiable desire by governors to micromanage the affairs of men.

I should take a moment and point out that small businesses are easier to contain and damage. And yet, they are the backbone of this country.

Of course, small business wasn’t the only thing to suffer. At some point in the near future we’re going to talk about Grandma being locked up in that nursing home with nobody being able to visit her because of lockdowns that were imposed for no damn good reason.

We are learning more and more about these events… None of it good.
