Well, it happened; Now restaurant owners, gym owners and many other small business owners have officially become Vaxxport enforcers - many against their will. I mean, what bar owner want to be the "show me your papers" guy right?
But this is where we are now. I won't even go into the right or wrong of this here but, just as a secular running-a-business-without blowing-up issue, how insane is this??
Just a few days into this new dystopia afflicting New York City, business owners of many restaurants are reporting 40-60% reduction in business:
"Our business is definitely down 50. I'm going to say 60 percent. There are just no people coming into the restaurant. They have a fear of being asked for vaccines," continued Burke, adding that many potential customers blame his business instead of the government for the vaccine mandates, according to The Epoch Times.
And it is the business owners getting the flak for it:
"They're being refused, and they get a resentment against us. They don't get a resentment against Bill de Blasio or Biden or whoever is mandating us to check for this. It comes as a personal rejection."
These policies are a frontal attack on small, independently owned businesses who have already endured too much of the burden of the covid response. Businesses don't require stimulus, they require not having the state impose obstacles on their operations that have nothing to do with public safety.
We are treated every weekend to scenes of throngs of unmasked fans with unknown vaccination status literally crushed into a stadium for hours but, somehow, it must be the bar owners responsibility to intrude into every patrons personal medical history just to serve a beer.
"We don't want this mandate, [and] we want nothing to do with this. I mean, how is that fair in New York City that the trains are jammed with people with a silly mask on? They're not being mandated to show anything, and yet they're coming against the heart of the city.
"We're the ones that are trying to keep 20 people employed here. We will go out of business if this continues; it's going to force us to shut our doors,"
