My favorite Brazilian steakhouse, a family business, just posted a heartbreaking video of the “safety measures” they intend to take to keep business going. Gloves. Tables spaced further apart. Visors. Many businesses like this operate month to month, & they may disappear soon
I grew up in a family business, a car dealership, that sustained my family for some time. The 1991 recession, a dim memory for some of you and history to those even younger, erased all of my family’s wealth in about a year. We were expanding at the time
My life then began to revolve around precarity: divorce, bankruptcy, time in the child welfare system, etc. By the 1996, I was living with my uncle and cousins and we were eating bean soup seven days a week and rationing pudding out of a huge metal can. TP was one square per BM
If these businesses go down, “small business loans” notwithstanding (hoops most can’t or won’t jump through, despite being a GOP pet project), that will be a disaster that ruins lives for years. The government needs to be engaged in direct cash transfers/total tax waivers
It’s amazing. I don’t think it’s sunk in for Americans yet, the ones not glued to the news, but when that “28 days later” death toll hits, it will be like rushing off the titanic
If you’re ever in Boston, go to Oasis steakhouse in Medford, after the pandemic haha. All you can eat including full churrasco and Brazilian food buffet for 18$
Hell of a deal there
I spoke w/a lady who owns a catering business. All Mar-Apr bookings cancelled. If this goes through June, they’re out of business.
