> The businesses themselves (restaurants, retail, etc) haven't gone anywhere, they're just not operating. Yes there will be some bankruptcies, but those companies will restructure, assets will be sold, and something else will pop up in place. I personally know of dozens of small businesses that have closed for good. You can also go on Reddit and check the small businesses subs for a reality check. Small business owners and employees are hurting really bad and government aid has pretty much failed them. It also seems you are thinking of small businesses as if they were large corporations that can file for chapter 11 and simply restructure. Small businesses and their owners cannot afford that, they usually close down out of court or file for chapter 7, which implies a total shut down and liquidation of their business at a loss. The business owners will be ruined and most likely won't be able to start a new business for years, if ever. And in these uncertain times, it's very doubtful anyone will want to take their place for a while. Honestly it seems to me you are so far removed from these people, businesses and their actual lives, that you are out of touch with reality. I find your lack of empathy appalling.
