Then when it comes out, they pretend it’s a good thing. Like when Cracker Barrel was leaving, I saw lots of comments about how it’s fine because of things like “who wants their disgusting, pre made food anyway?” “That is fine, we have local places! Who needs chains.” (Please ignore the fact a lot of their local business is dying), and “It’s because no one wants to support a racist business like that” (could have fooled me since the ones I see in the Midwest are always packed).
Meanwhile, my states are struggling to find enough workers, which is raising wages for everyone keeping for workers, and all of the newbies I see are ones who are all in on “Fuck where I came from. And may they all burn in hell and never return.”
Many cities killed off their local businesses with the lockdown too. In San Francisco, the office vacancy rate is 30% and still growing. It's hitting a death spiral where worsening conditions leads to demand for more public services leads to more taxes leads to loss of business leads back to worsening conditions.
Meanwhile, here in my neck of the woods, almost all of our local business survived Covid, with the handful of exceptions being ones that everyone knew were already on their last legs or had unusual situations (like the restaurant where the owner had been looking to retire for years).
And when the riots came around, they were met in places like Omaha and Kansas City by a grim expression and a solid billy club. And when BLM went crying to the locals about “police brutality”, the locals overwhelmingly said “you punks got what you deserved.”
But if you ask the Leftist on places like Reddit, we are still living in the past and the future is in places like Portland and San Francisco.
In Florida, the only places going out of business are those with prices too high and wages too low, severely mismanaged, or being sold to developers. Still pissed about that last one. There's several dead lots where once thriving businesses were thanks to these greedy fucking land owners and development companies.
It is already happening. Oregon has seen a flood of companies leaving but you aren't 'allowed' to report on it.
They fired a journalist for a story about it at one of the left wing rags up here.

Exactly how my SimCity 2000 cities always failed. :(
Yep. And they refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem, which just makes that cycle even worse and more unrecoverable.
Yeah we don't have any local places left, they all got firebombed during the riots or were forced out since no customers go downtown anymore.
Soon it will be a Detroit level city where half the downtown is just boarded up empty buildings.

Given how dystopic the future is, 'living in the past' is not the own Lefties think it is.
