You'd think a number of industries in the U.S. would be pushing for everyone to wear a mask so we could just friggin' be done with this!

Travel dependent industries like hotels, airlines, rental car companies, amusement parks... entertainment industries like movies and TV... Service industries like restaurants... They should be running billion dollar campaigns telling us to get our shit together. Because the longer this goes, the more money they lose. It should be simple math. How much money to you lose for every day you stay closed? Put that money to marketing and see if that lets you open a little bit sooner. C'mon guys!

No one wants to take the first step and lose business to a competitor that hasn't shut down. It's another of the immoralities of capitalism. -- nm - TWuG Jul 16, 20:45 1

Exactly. There is a local brewery that posted a "we were going to open but you screwed us over" post. There is no economy while the virus is rampant, - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 16, 20:24
