(31,261 posts)non-existent. When a business is paying thousands a month for rent, the daily register take must be $2,500+ per day for them to have a remote chance of staying in business. Their business being damaged and looted likely wipes them out - that is sad because many of those people put their life savings into the businesses.

BUT IT IS FOR THR CAUSE!

This has nothing to do with George Floyd.

Ive been back to work three days a week seeing people in Center City. This will be my sixth week back. Not one...not ONE works in his or her normal place of business if theyre working at all. Retail is dead...during the depths of the quarantine I would walk down Walnut to a Wawa convenience store to get some lunch, and maybe thered be two other people out on the street. When Id get to Broad Street I could cross no matter what the light was because there were no cars. Beyond belief.
The fascists are provoking this. Im certain of that.

(852 posts)Just like George Floyd did nothing which should cause him to be killed by police.
The main problem I see is that the United States is a failed nation.
We are not the greatest nation on earth.
Not by a long shot.

(8,655 posts)Trump knows he can't run on the economy or his response to Covid. He'll run on 'law and order.' Remember, Chauvin, the MPLS cop, was a speaker at Trump's October, 2019 MPLS rally. He kept his knee on Floyd's neck for a full three minutes after he stopped breathing, and none of the other cops tried to get rid of onlookers or take away their cell phones. This was all scripted to cause riots. 'Law and order.'
