I didn’t work like a dog as a founder for 10+ years, conservatively building cash reserves to pay over a year of our payroll, to have everyone who played it loose with high debt and no savings get bailed out.https://twitter.com/morganhousel/status/1239302286112952320 …

Not a fair comparison. Typical restaurant profit margin is 5-10%, labor maybe 30% of sales. No one is holding 3-6x their annual profits for a rainy day; especially when the total annual profit provides a modest 5-figure income. Might work in e-comm where you need far less labor.

Good point. For some businesses it’s easier to keep everyone employed than others. I’m arguing that they should not be bailed out, not that the restaurant biz is easy. Business interruption insurance is very common in the industry. If a pipe bursts, the 5-10% biz goes bk.
