美国小企业主为应对严重的‘吃霸王餐’犯罪潮而苦苦挣扎
American small business owners fight to survive crippling dine-and-dash crime sprees
译文简介
网友：餐厅应该在用餐前开始收集卡片。顾客仍然可以选择现金支付、签字、或在最后加小费，但这样可以防止这种情况发生。

@practicalRN
The businesses should begin collecting cards prior to the beginning of the meal. Customers will still have option of paying cash, signing, adding tip at end but it would protect from this scenario.

If law enforcement isn’t stepping up, small businesses might need to take matters into their own hands. How long before they start cracking down hard?
如果执法部门不采取行动，小企业可能需要自己解决这个问题。他们什么时候才会开始严厉打击？

Restaurants should swipe a card when the party is seated. Bars start tabs; same concept.
餐厅应该在客人就座时刷卡。酒吧也应该开始记账；同样的道理。

Aye, it’s a right shame when hard-working folks are left picking up the tab for someone else’s cheeky antics. Time to give the law a proper shake-up and protect our local gems!
真遗憾，辛勤工作的人却要为别人狡猾的行为买单。真是太可惜了。是时候彻底改革法律，保护我们当地的瑰宝了！

If bars take a card and scan it then give it back.. why can’t restaurants do the same.. it is a simple fix but I guarantee it would be seen as “discriminatory”
如果酒吧收取信用卡并扫描后还给顾客，为什么餐厅不能做同样的事呢？这是个简单的解决方法，但我敢保证会被认为是“歧视性的”。

Simple. Charge first, then sit down.
很简单。先收费，然后再坐下。
That would hurt sales. Restaurants benefit from people impulse buying extra during the meal, such as more drinks or deserts and only seeing the price total at the end. If people had to pay up front there would be fewer impulse buys.
这会影响销售额。餐馆的利润来源于人们在用餐期间冲动购买额外物品，例如更多的饮料或甜点，而且最后才看到总价。如果人们必须预先付款，冲动消费就会减少。

Sorry to ask but I tried Googling and couldn't find a reputable article to support you claim. Can you please provide a lix? I go to SF 2x/week and the open air "markets" selling stolen stuff are something I see without fail every time. I understand that this is a personal anecdote and has little value so I'm looking for a source to expand my view on the matter.
抱歉问一下，我试着用谷歌搜索，但没找到支持你观点的可靠文章。能否提供一个链接？我每周去两次旧金山，每次去开放式“市场”看到有人在卖偷来的东西。我理解这只是个人经历，价值有限，所以我希望找到一个来源来扩展我对这个问题的看法。
He pulled his claim out of his ass. Don't ask to see the source.
他这番言论纯属胡扯。别问出处。
like… just federal and state crime statistics? i mean literally crime is really low right now, like basically at pre pandemic levels. it was all propaganda
vox article on it being mostly anecdotal
NY times: Lobbying group retracts organized retail crime statement
LA Times on how exaggerated the claims were
就……联邦和州的犯罪统计数据吗？其实现在犯罪率很低，基本上和疫情前差不多。那些都是宣传。
Vox的文章讲述这些只是个别案例。
纽约时报：游说团体撤回了关于有组织零售犯罪的声明。
《洛杉矶时报》评论这些说法有多么夸张
I witness so much theft at the store I work at everyday and almost none of it gets reported. It’s like that at most retail stores dude. It’s simply not worth the time for most businesses to report the amount of petty theft that occurs.
我每天在我工作的商店里目睹了很多盗窃行为，但几乎没有人报案。大多数零售商店都是这样，伙计。对于大多数商家来说，报告这些小偷小摸根本不值得花时间。
You're assuming it gets reported. When the police do nothing and in fact are incentivised not to have bad statistics they discourage reporting. There's a reason that retail stores close in SF and Oakland that wasn't true 20 years ago. Results that don't lie like statistics.
你假设它被举报。当警方什么都不做，实际上还被激励去避免出现不好的统计数据时，他们会劝阻报告。零售商店在旧金山和奥克兰关闭的原因，20年前是没有的。那些不骗人、像统计数据这样的结果。
Why would stores lose legit business by locking up so many things and making it a pita for customers then? It doesn’t make sense.
为什么商店要通过把很多东西锁起来并让顾客觉得很麻烦来失去正当的生意呢？这没有道理。
Safeway is starting to lock up the toothpaste now, its ridiculous. Target has all of the socks and underwear locked up too, as well as anything for allergies.
Those saline nasal rinse bottles that contain just packets of salt to make the saline? They're behind steel cages, its so dumb.
超市现在开始把牙膏锁起来，真是荒谬。Target（塔吉特商店）也把所有袜子和内衣锁起来了，还把所有过敏药品都锁起来。
那些盐水鼻腔冲洗瓶，只是一些盐包，用来制作盐水的吗？它们都被放在钢铁笼子里，真是太傻了。
So theft isn’t an issue in CA?
那加州就没有盗窃问题吗？
says who - run a retail establishment before spouting off
谁说的？在发牢骚之前先做过零售工作吧。
Remember that time Gavin Newsom personally witnessed theft of a TV at Target and asked why no one was doing anything and the cashier (without recognizing him) told him "because of our governor" lM
Yeah, this happens all the time and isnt reported
记得有一次加文·纽瑟姆亲眼目睹在Target商店里有电视被盗，他问为什么没人做什么，而收银员（没有认出他）回答说：“因为我们的州长。”哈哈
是的，这种事经常发生，但没有报道出来。
Wait, you think all these stores closing due to theft is a conspiracy?
等一下，你认为所有这些商店因盗窃而关闭是个阴谋吗？

Dining and dashing has been a problem for decades. This isn't a new thing.
霸王餐问题已经困扰了几十年，这并不是什么新鲜事。
43% of small businesses can't pay the rent, Bloomberg reports.
For restaurants, 52% can't pay the rent.
That's the highest number since the depths of the lockdowns. And it's very odd considering "blockbuster" official statistics on GDP and unemployment.
彭博社报道，小型企业中有43%无法支付租金。
对于餐厅来说，有52%无法支付租金。
这是自封锁以来最严重的数字。而且这很奇怪，考虑到“惊人”的官方GDP和失业统计数据。
I started my business at 40 years old and gave up at 55 outside of minor freelance side work and my online publication. The only consistent threat I faced in that 15 years was the government. Local, state, and federal gave tax breaks and grants to big business, but I got nothing no matter how I grew, supported charities, or how well I paid employees. The lockdowns finally put the last nail in its coffin when I was denied PPP with no explanation.
我40岁创业，55岁放弃，除了兼职兼职和我的在线出版物。在那15年里，我唯一持续面临的威胁就是政府。地方、州和联邦政府都给大企业提供税收减免和补助，但无论我如何发展壮大、支持慈善机构，或者给员工支付多少工资，我都一无所获。封锁终于给我的棺材钉上了最后一颗钉子，我被毫无理由地拒绝了PPP（薪资保护计划）。
We’re still a small business but were able to get a PPP loan, have it forgiven and qualified for the full $2mil EIDL loan. When we were just 11 employees (now 29) we were able to get $1mil in property tax abatements from our town and $200k from the IEDC. We probably wouldn’t be in business today without these things. It often feels the game is rigged. All that said our business hasn’t made much in the last 5 years. If we do it’s gobbled up by inflation, banks, taxes, etc. All my wealth generation has come from leveraging the business to grow my commercial real estate portfolio and investments in the stock market. I often refer to myself as the “landlord” vs the CEO, as I do the CEO bit just to earn some rent money at the end of the day.
我们仍然是小企业，但我们成功拿到了PPP贷款，且得到了免除，还申请到了全额200万美元的EIDL贷款。当我们公司只有11名员工时（现在有29名员工），我们从当地政府获得了100万美元的物业税减免，且从IEDC得到了20万美元。如果没有这些帮助，我们可能今天早就关门了。感觉这个游戏就是设定好的。尽管如此，我们的生意在过去五年里并没有赚到多少钱。如果有的话，通货膨胀、银行、税收等就会吞掉它。我所有的财富积累都来自于利用公司发展我的商业房地产投资组合和股市投资。我常常自称为“房东”，而不是CEO，因为我做CEO的工作，基本上是为了每天赚些租金。
They all say the labor market is healthy because of "strong" immigration. Which is insane.
他们都说劳动市场健康是因为“强大的”移民。真是荒谬。
We need a new term I think. “Blind depression.”
When a developed economy could fix, but is in a depression because leaders behave as if it’s constantly wealthy, and distribute that information to its citizens.
我觉得我们需要一个新的术语。“盲目萧条。”
当一个发达经济体能够修复，但却陷入萧条时，因为领导人的行为就好像它一直很富有，并将这一信息传播给其公民。
But why don’t people know how great the economy is???
那为什么人们不知道经济有多好呢？
Devastating… meanwhile, Biden proposes higher taxes.

This is FUD.
60% of restaurants fail in the first year and 80% fail in 5 years.
Have you ever met a chef? Or tried to manage a wait staff? Or met anyone who started a restaurant. That's why they fail.
这是恐慌言论（FUD）。
60% 的餐馆在第一年就倒闭，80% 的餐馆在五年内倒闭。
你见过厨师吗？或者试过管理服务员吗？或者见过任何开餐馆的人吗？这就是他们失败的原因。

For the last 50 years, the US GDP has been 70% consumer spending. Meaning, at least 20% is debt.
A lot of that debt went into many of these small businesses that wouldn't exist but for debt spending.
This scheme can only last so long. This is what the end of it looks like.
在过去的50年里，美国GDP的70%来自消费者支出。也就是说，至少20%是债务。
其中很多债务投入了许多依赖债务支撑的小企业。
这种模式只能持续这么久。这就是它结束的样子。
Now wait a second Peter, Biden's handlers keep telling us the economy is great. Surely your claims can't be true.
The huge increase in inflation isn't a problem either. It's all hunky dory.
等一下，彼得，拜登的幕僚一直告诉我们经济很好。你说的这些显然不是真的吧。
通货膨胀的巨大增加也不是问题。看起来一切都很顺利。
Economic stats need to be reconsidered and modified. When government spending and hiring now has such a large impact on both GDP and unemployment, while generating inflation - calculating them as before and declaring how great they are makes no sense.
经济统计数据需要重新考虑和修改。当政府支出和雇佣对GDP和失业率的影响如此巨大，同时又导致通货膨胀时，按照过去的方法计算并宣称它们很好是没有意义的。
My 39 year old landmark restaurant in Oregon was promised RRF for being FORCED to shut down. We got $0 from the gov. program. Upon opening everyone was wanting back pay, utilities insurance rent etc. Had to use 401k. And now prices high traffic low. Disaster.
我在俄勒冈州经营了39年的老字号餐厅，被迫关闭后政府承诺会有RRF（餐饮恢复基金）。结果政府项目给我们一分钱都没拿到。开业后，大家都在追讨工资、水电费、保险费、租金等等。不得不动用401k退休金。现在物价高涨，客流量低迷。简直是灾难。
Four more years of Biden will have that number near 100 per cent.
如果拜登再连任四年，这个数字可能接近100%。
It's very odd because the restaurants around me are packed every night.

一点也不奇怪。那些爆炸性的GDP统计数据来自政府支出，而不是私营部门。
Unemployment doesn’t help restaurants and small businesses. It is the opposite..Restaurants have been decimated by food inflation and wage inflation. Keeping staff from leaving to make a buck an hour more has driven up costs. They can’t raise prices anymore and keep customers
失业率对餐馆和小企业没有帮助，反而是相反的...餐馆被食品通货膨胀和工资通货膨胀摧残。为了防止员工跳槽去赚多一美元，成本上升了。他们再也不能提高价格以留住顾客了。

Yes. As a very small newspaper, I had to move to a very small office in a less desirable location to make rent. My costs have quadrupled over the past eight years between min wage, paper, delivery due to gas prices, insurance due to open drug laws, etc.
是的。作为一家非常小的报纸，我不得不搬到一个不太理想的地方的小办公室来支付租金。过去八年间，由于最低工资、纸张、由于油价上涨的配送费用、由于开放药物法律导致的保险费用等，我的成本增加了四倍。
The government has essentially handcuffed the “invisible hand” that flows goods and services to those who need them. The current level of incompetence in leadership magnifies the issues. Unchecked spending is just throwing fuel on the fire. It’s bad.

Many of the 'businesses' birthed during the post GFC zirp era can't tolerate the rates we have now, and I would like to know how many of them were around back during the stagflationary 70's era...probably not many, so none of these owners has ever lived through this.
许多在全球金融危机零利率政策时代诞生的“企业”无法忍受我们现在的利率，我想知道在 70 年代滞胀时期有多少这样的企业......可能不多，所以这些业主中没有人经历过这种情况。
That makes sense to me. If everyone's already employed, employees are going to cost more to hire. And housing costs are really high now too. It's a recipe for certain sectors to really take a hit, and restaurants have always been a very risky biz with many running on thin margins
我能理解。如果每个人都已经就业，那么雇佣员工的成本会更高。而且现在住房成本也很高。这是某些行业真的会受到打击的一个食谱，餐饮业一直是一个风险很大的行业，许多企业的利润率都很薄。

Small business owner here in Chicago. 31%of each payroll dollar goes to local, state and federal taxes. Half of rent is CAM and Tax. This is why everyone feels like they are running into the wind, because they are.
我是芝加哥的一位小企业主。每一份工资的31%都要缴纳地方税、州税和联邦税。租金的一半是公共区域维护费和税收。这就是为什么每个人都觉得自己在逆风前行，因为他们确实在逆风。
Its not really all that odd when you consider their goal is a digital world where we're all forced in to smart cities and be surveillance 24/7. Getting rid of brick and mortar businesses and pricing people out of home ownership is a stepping stone to that.
考虑到他们的目标是创造一个数字化世界，强迫我们所有人进入智能城市并全天候监控，实际上这并不奇怪。摆脱实体店，让民众买不起房，是实现这一目标的垫脚石。
It's obvious what's happening. Government is growing larger. The private sector is shrinking. It's a planned transformation that started with the Obama/Biden administration.
显而易见，政府正在变得越来越大，私营部门在萎缩。这是奥巴马/拜登政府发起的有计划的转型。

We’ll soon be replacing the American innovation model with the mindlessness of those that want the tit of government to suck on.
我们很快就会用那些想依赖政府养育的人，取代美国的创新模式。
Mix of bad economy and cheap money.
Some businesses just made terrible decisions and banks let them.
I went to a brewery in a rural agricultural part of Florida, and they were selling $9 dollar beers with no happy hour. Obviously, this place is going out of business.
经济不景气和资金廉价的结合。
有些企业做出了糟糕的决策，而银行却放任他们这么做。
我去了佛罗里达一个乡村农业地区的酿酒厂，他们卖9美元一杯的啤酒，而且没有欢乐时光。显然，这个地方要倒闭了。

That’s because folks don’t have extra money to buy things or go out to eat.
You should try selling a painting right now.
那是因为大家没有多余的钱买东西或外出就餐。
你现在试试卖画吧。
I woke up this morning to grab the deposit from the store and noticed that the door was open and our lock was broken.
My heart sank when I realized what had happened.
今天早上我起来去拿店里的存款，发现门开着，锁坏了。
当我意识到发生了什么事情时，我的心沉了下去。
Our little retail shop on Main St. is a classic small business.
With every purchase, we donate meals to families in need.
Over 500,000.
We try to sponsor every request from our community, even if it's just a donation of goods.
While this will set us back with operations, online orders, and monetarily, we will move forward.
我们又被盗了。
我们的店铺在主街上，是一个典型的小企业。
每当我们卖出一件商品，就会为有需要的家庭捐赠餐食。
已经超过50万餐了。
我们尽量支持社区里的每个请求，即便只是捐赠一些物品。
尽管这次会影响我们的运营、在线订单和财务，但我们会继续前进。

Who do you think pays for their behavior? Them?
When the store has an item stolen which costs a dollar, they keep margins by raising prices. They raise prices, thugs do it again, prices go up again, and so and etc etc. The one dollar item now costs $1.20 and paying patrons go elsewhere to shop. Store gets robbed again... doors close forever and a new food ghetto is born.
你觉得是谁为他们的行为买单？是他们自己吗？
当商店被盗走一件价值一美元的商品时，为了保持利润，他们提高了价格。他们提价了，暴徒又来了，价格再次上涨，循环往复。那件一美元的商品现在可能卖到1.20美元，支付的顾客就会选择去别的地方购物。商店再次被盗……门关了，新的贫民区诞生了。

@UltraDane
According to restaurant industry insiders, an old high school phenomena of "dine and dash" has resurfaced, but with a twist.
"An ever increasing number of patrons prearrange brawls, so the establishment has no choice but to "eat" the cost of the meals or risk being sued over fake charges. Things are so bad, many of the smaller stores were forced to close and move their lives and businesses elsewhere."
根据餐饮行业内部人士的说法，一个曾经在高中出现过的“霸王餐”现象又回来了，但略有不同。
“越来越多的顾客预先安排了打斗，餐馆别无选择，只能“承担”餐饮费用，要不就冒着被虚假指控的风险。情况糟糕到很多小商店不得不关门，搬走了他们的生意和生活。”
One thing is for sure...
He's a democRAT!
Trying to create his Utopian America where everything is free.
American small business owners fight to survive crippling dine-and-dash crime sprees
有一点是肯定的……
他是个民主党人！
试图创造一个一切免费的天堂美国。
美国小商店老板们在拼命应对致命的“霸王餐”犯罪潮。
Perspective on how brutal things still are for independent restaurants:
We process payments for thousands of small restaurants. Our data shows their business was down 75% at the start of the pandemic.
Since June it's been down 40% - 2x worse than the peak of the 2009 recession
关于独立餐厅依然面临的严峻局势：
关于独立餐厅的生存现状的残酷看法：
我们为数千家小餐馆处理付款。我们的数据显示，疫情开始时，他们的业务下降了 75%。
自 6 月以来，已下跌 40% - 比 2009 年经济衰退高峰期还要糟糕两倍
American small business owners fight to survive crippling dine-and-dash crime sprees every restaurant should operate like a bar. Give us your credit card up front, validate it, then serve. If they dash, charge them plus a nice tip.
美国小商店老板们在拼命应对致命的“霸王餐”犯罪潮，每个餐馆应该像酒吧一样运营。
先给我们信用卡，验证一下，再提供服务。如果顾客吃完就跑，就收他们的钱再加上一笔小费。
open drug use and safety issues are playing a role too. It’s tough to keep a business open downtown when the Liberal government has a “catch and release” policy for repeat offenders. Rampant shoplifting with zero consequences
公开吸毒和安全问题也起了作用。自由党政府对惯犯实行“抓捕释放”政策，市中心的商店很难继续营业。商店盗窃猖獗，却无人承担任何后果。
Even setting aside real risk of harm…
Net margins on brick and mortar retailers is 10-20%.
One or two big heists and the small business owner can’t even afford to pay himself a salary.
Imagine having your entire years paycheck taken from you and then shitlibs laugh about it.
即使忽略真正的伤害风险…
实体零售商的净利润率只有10-20%。
一次或两次重大盗窃，小企业主甚至连自己的工资都支付不起。
想象一下你一整年的薪水被拿走，而某些人却对此大笑。
Small indie restaurants are getting slaughtered. Business down 20-80 percent. I'm not anti-chain restaurant. But right now, if you have the means, pick a small place to support (chains can weather this). Order to-go food (most are doing curbside pickup). Buy a gift certificate.
小型独立餐馆正遭遇重创。生意下降了20-80%。我不是反对连锁餐厅，但现在如果你有条件，支持一个小餐馆吧（连锁餐厅可以挺过去）。点外卖（大多数餐馆都提供路边取餐）。购买礼品卡。
And Asian, especially Chinese, restaurants, are being particularly hard hit, because Americans are...silly. So if you have a non-chain Chinese restaurant near you that you support or have always wanted to try, now is an especially good time to continue or start that support.
特别是亚洲餐馆，尤其是中国餐馆，受到了特别严重的打击，因为美国人……太傻了。所以，如果你附近有一家你支持或一直想尝试的非连锁中餐馆，现在正是继续或开始支持的好时机。
Also a self employed personal trainer as gyms get more and more deserted - maybe online sessions. Just putting the word out because we are a little nervous about the upcoming weeks.
我也是一名自雇的私人教练，因为健身房越来越空荡——也许转到在线课程。只是想说一下，因为我们对接下来的几周有些担心。

I ordered take out egg drop soup last night. There were only 4 groups of people eating in the restaurant when its usually packed but thankfully there were 2 counters lined up with to go orders!
我昨晚点了外卖蛋花汤。餐厅里只有4组人用餐，平时通常是满的，但幸运的是有两个柜台排着外卖订单！
I wouldn’t think twice about getting Chinese food!
我一点都不介意吃中餐！

We convention professionals are in turbulent waters too. And our partners all the way down to housekeeping....
我们这些会议行业的专业人士也正经历动荡，甚至连合作伙伴和保洁人员都受到影响……
We ate last night at our favorite Italian restaurant, not real crowded, intend to give them lots of support.
昨晚我们在最喜欢的意大利餐厅吃饭，人不多，打算继续给予很多支持。
I work at a chain restaurant and while the chain can survive this, most of its employees can not if business declines too much.
我在一家连锁餐厅工作，虽然连锁餐厅能挺过去，但如果生意继续下滑，大多数员工可能就挺不过去了。
Take out and delivery, if you don't want to go out, and ffs, tip generously.
外卖和送餐，如果不想外出，记得慷慨给小费。
Yeah, there is a way. If we do it right, the healthy among us can still support them.
是的，确实有办法。如果我们做得对，健康的我们仍然可以支持他们。

I know everyone is fatigued but just a reminder that small businesses are screwed.
*22% have closed for good, including 41% of black-owned small biz
*Of the rest, revenue is down 30% from a year ago
*Average biz can survive 3 months at that rate
*All bailout money is exhausted
我知道大家都感到疲惫，但请记住，小企业真的很难撑下去。
*22%的小企业已经永久关闭，其中41%的黑人拥有的小企业关闭了
*剩下的企业，收入比一年前下降了30%
*平均的小企业在这种情况下最多能撑3个月
*所有的救助资金都已经用尽
I presume that vast majority of Dem voters are getting their full salaries from public sector and protected sectors.
我推测，大多数民主党选民都在公共部门和受保护行业拿着全额工资。

Went to my a great local Mediterranean restaurant. Owner told us Small Business pandemic loans were based on payroll. He has less than 5 employees so he was eligible for a pittance that couldn’t dent his monthly $10k overhead costs. He’s worried his livelihood won’t survive.
我去了一家很棒的当地地中海餐厅。老板告诉我们，小企业疫情贷款是根据薪资发放的。他有不到5个员工，所以他有资格领取微薄的补助，但这笔钱无法缓解他每月1万美元的开销。他担心自己的生计无法撑下去。
Small business economy is doomed. Corporations and fascism win. Our way of doing business needs a paradigm shift. I can imagine it, but feel doubtful that humans can make it happen.
小企业经济注定要失败。大公司和法西斯主义必将获胜。我们的经营方式需要范式转变。我可以想象，但怀疑人类能否做到这一点。
My interior designer friend told me that 4 successful consignment shops she used have closed for good. One had been in business for 18 years.
我的室内设计师朋友告诉我，她曾经用过的4家成功的寄售店已经永远关门了，其中一家已经经营了18年。
Many small businesses are closing around here. We are seasonal and even if they are open this summer, they might not make it through the winter
这里的许多小企业都在关闭。我们是季节性生意，即使它们今年夏天还开门，可能也撑不到冬天。
Wrong. All bailout money is NOT "exhausted."
It's just been given to the non-needy.
Far too much wealth is in far too few hands. Even a modest redistribution would make a huge difference.
错了。所有的救助资金并没有“用尽”。
只是都被发给了那些不需要的人。
财富集中在极少数人手里。即使是适度的财富再分配，也会带来巨大的变化。
It's truly tragic & completely unnecessary. The level of government pressure to submit is growing.
这真的很悲哀，而且完全不必要。政府施加的提交压力越来越大。
Worst part is that they KNEW this would happen. The New York Times said it would happen back in March, even as they went on pushing the policies that would lead to it.
最糟糕的是，他们早就知道会发生这种事。纽约时报早在三月就说过会发生这种情况，尽管他们继续推动会导致这种结果的政策。
And yet, sext big businesses are getting bigger and fatter.
Also sext small businesses are racking it in as well, particularly those that cater to whimsical spending from recipients of more free cash than they’ve ever received before.
然而，一些大企业反而变得更大、更富有。
还有一些小企业也赚得盆满钵满，特别是那些迎合那些得到比以往更多免费现金的人群，满足他们异想天开的消费需求。
That’s because Big Businesses got most of the money our Government doesn’t care if you are small all they do is take care of their Buddy
那是因为大企业获得了大部分的钱，我们的政府不在乎你是否小，他们所做的就是照顾他们的朋友
If only the Republicans would return the taxpayers’ money to the taxpayers, they’d spend it and keep these businesses and the economy alive.
要是共和党人能把纳税人的钱还给纳税人，他们会花掉这些钱，让这些企业和经济保持活力。
I agree this is sad. But what is more sad it was/is avoidable. I refuse to shop at any business that doesn't support mask 100%, and many small biz did not. If we had all embraced the science, we would be back to normal. 、
我同意，这真的很悲伤。但更悲伤的是，这本是可以避免的。我拒绝去任何不完全支持戴口罩的商店，很多小企业没有做到。如果我们都拥抱科学，现在早就恢复正常了。
Yeah but there's this woke virus that doesn't attack people protesting racism or burning Bibles so it's probably extra angry at small business owners
是的，但这种觉醒病毒不会攻击抗议种族主义或焚烧圣经的人，所以它可能对小企业主特别愤怒
On Tuesday I went into a small business. The owner told me that his neighborhood has lost 12 businesses.
星期二我去了一个小企业。店主告诉我，他所在的社区已经失去了12家企业。
Economic suicide was never the right response to this virus.
经济自杀从来不是应对这种病毒的正确反应。
Exactly. What is the use of arguing over a payroll tax cut when there is not a "payroll" to return to or even get on?
没错。当没有“工资单”可回归或甚至无法获得时，争论削减工资税有什么意义呢？
We cannot continue to keep going like this in society, pedophile president is not reelected and it was due to corruption,....”I could for see a revolution.”America has never had com...st of values and will not be a com...st country.
我们不能继续这样下去，社会不能继续这样，恋童癖的总统没有连任，这是因为腐败......“我能预见一场革命。”美国从来没有GCZY的价值观，也永远不会成为一个GCZY国家。
Maybe the my should’ve made better financial choices and saved up for a rainy day like rich people did.
也许他们应该做出更好的财务选择，像富人一样积蓄以备不时之需。
So do you support a full reopening of the country?
那么你支持国家全面重新开放吗？
I have an idea Dan . Maybe you can give small business a break from your merchant service fees! You know, the fees you hit small businesses for the "Luxury" of using debit & credit cards. Explain to everyone here how you make millions off the backs of small business.
我有一个主意，Dan。也许你可以给小企业减免你们的商户服务费！你知道的，就是你们对小企业使用借记卡和信用卡的“奢侈”收取的费用。向大家解释一下，你是如何从小企业背上赚取数百万的。
Yup. Somewhat new entrepreneur here, September would make my 3rd year in business. Will have to close before that anniversary. Applied for small business relief ASAP, never received any help or even an answer of approval/rejection.
是的。我算是个新手企业家，九月就创业三周年了。必须在三周年之前结束生意。我尽快申请了小型企业救济，但从未收到任何帮助，甚至连批准/拒绝的答复都没有。
