Trump's America???

This is Cuomo and DeBlasio.

Idiot -- these decisions are not made at the Federal level.

Funny how your Mayors and Governors started following orders for once, huh? Trump was the one telling you it was a dumb idea because THIS is what would happen.

And I thought Patsy's was the best.

So?

If your business is 107 yo, it doesn't mean that it should survive.

Adapt to the times or die. Did they do online orders and delivery, for instance?

Guessing you’re not in the New York City area. That restaurant is a real iconic landmark. Famous. And its demise is a real dagger in the heart for New York and a sign of more to come.

Just days after reopening, NYC’s Grand Central Oyster Bar closes ‘due to lack of traffic and business'

Roosevelt Hotel on 45th also an icon closed too.

NYC is dying. cry2

Trump says bad idea to shut down

Democrats shut down anyway

Case numbers hyped, low death rate, still shut down

Businesses cant hold on being closed for over 6 months because a regular mom and pop shop doesnt have huge margins and probably has a couple employees to pay

Business closes. MUST BE ORANGE MAN'S FAULT.

OR EVEN BETTER "SHOULDVE ADAPTED"

 Quoting: crimsonskylar


Exactly.

From the RT link:

"What city in its right mind would turn up its nose at $11.5 billion, the estimated total spent by out-of-town visitors to the city’s famed theatrical productions alone? Why leave that money on the table, especially when the virus that had held the industry hostage for months has been steadily on the wane? With Governor Cuomo demanding billions in relief from the federal government to make up an economic shortfall that stems from his own policies, surely he can’t afford to keep the state (and its largest city)’s biggest draws closed down indefinitely?"

This is what really grates on me. They created the economic disaster and now they want the Fed to print money to bail them out, leaving the US taxpayer with the bill (but they cannot authorize a second paltry $1200 check to Americans).

I love to blast Trump too, it has become one of Americas most beloved past times. But I do have to wonder, how would Trump have "properly handled" this situation and still not have "tens of millions" unemployed. Or is your idea of "properly" handling this mean printing even more money and wealth redistribution? There was no way he coming out of this unscathed no matter what direction he took.

Oh you mean like a few months of no business? Just because they lasted that long doesn't mean that they have a shit ton of money. NYC is an expensive city to be in, several months of paying rent and having no business takes it toll. Some businesses will be come out of this just fine, especially those that are able to work remotely. I'm actually loving the change, no loss of income and I work from home, which really means I work less hours. Depending on what happens within the next year we plan on traveling the country and working on the road.

 Quoting: telling it straight


Financial advisors tell clients to make sure they have enough money saved to survive for 6-12 months without a job. Businesses need to have a similar disaster plan. After 107 years they didn't save a year's worth of disaster money?

I walked past the Oyster Bar everyday for years on my way to and from the train and ate there many times with clients. Totally agree that it is iconic, as is the Roosevelt Hotel and their holiday decorations. Loved walking thru there every Christmas season. I was bummed when Carnegie Deli shut down and that was not from a virus. Change happens.

But...if these icons are truly so important to New Yorkers then why aren't they DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT? The "thank you sir, may I have another" they are getting from Comrade Deblasio & Nipples Cuomo are killing their icons and livelihoods, yet they do nothing? It would not take much effort to resist the draconian policies of these two morons.

Other than that, liberalism is wonderful and beautiful. It gives me nicey-huggy emotions.

Hey, Fidel Castro at least provided free healthcare. Stalin cared about the disenfranchised, Mao cared about the proletariat.

Barack and Hillary were into our pain. So what's a little corruption and Arkancide along with that? Liberals care about people.
