Baloney. The businesses that were healthy survived. The ones which didn't were not going to survive the next recession anyway. And even many of those would have survived if the support would have been given to the people rather than the crap they wound up spending it on. As well as rental and mortgage restructuring for impacted businesses and homeowners. You're right in that this could have been handled much better. But we had a crook running the country who just wanted to use it as an opportunity to generate profits for himself and those like him
She went to jail because she didn't show up to her court date. Don't show up? You lose. Here is the response from another similar business owner. There was help available that would have kept her business afloat and her employees paid. There was no reason for her to do what she did.
She ran a wine bistro and refused to close. Then she didn't show up to court. It was a jury who found her guilty. It wasn't Walz who did anything to her, she did it to herself.
She didn’t show up for court….THAT’S why she went to jail. Did you even look into this? You wouldn’t have come on here and share false info right? That would be a pretty strange thing to do.
Maybe what she did wasn't worth jail time. But a jury of her peers decided that it was since she didn't show up. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was one of her employees that turned her in. People didn't want to be at work exposing themselves to the epidemic. The government mandate was to protect the employees from shitty employers like this lady who (I have no doubt) would have punished the employees who chose not to come to work.
Yes, for the protection of the employees. Who very clearly needed protection from employers like this. There was no reason for her to remain open. Minnesota had help for the people and businesses who did the right thing. Those funds were there to help prop up the economy. Employees can call OSHA if their employer puts them in dangerous situations. These things are benefits. They aren't bad things.
Very good move: she spoke like she was already president and spoke to everyone. One of the best ways to win is to appeal to center-right folks and see if you can get some light Trumpers to quietly vote Kamala instead because they know Trump is the wrong answer, but can't lose social clout in their own group. No politician is ever good enough for young voters; they are an illusion, a treasure you can't have. But the realists are worth going after. I didn't like all that she said, but I get why she said them so I accept them as a cost of doing business. Get her into office, then yell at her until she backs off the warhawk stuff a bit.
But you shared this simply for the fact that it made it look like this is because of Walz….. that’s what I was talking about. We don’t need that kind of shit.
