Seventeen percent of all restaurants, more than 110,000, have closed permanently. On average, they were in business for 16 years, and 16 percent were in business for at least 30 years.

Democrats aren't the ones trying to stiff people out of money to keep them afloat.

They are being forced to close due to unreasonable COVID restrictions not based on science.

Most governments have done the same, I don't think it's anything to do with democrats. The UK conservative government have implemented restrictions which have horsed businesses up and down the country.

I can't speak for other countries. In the U.S., it's Democrat run cities and states. The rest of this country is allowing restaurants to either remain open or remain open for outside dining.

Not true.

Nancy PeeLousy is a democrat...who has held up any relief bill for many months. PeeLousy doesn't want relief for American citizens. PeeLousy wants the federal government to bail out failing democrat run cities and states.

Teasel thinks it's the Republicans who held up COVID relief. Pelousy admitted that she held it up to cost President Trump the election and that it was a good plan even though it lost them many House seats. It's okay to sacrifice anything to beat the evil Trumpster, but she will be sacrificed in two years.
