My parent sran a restaurant for a while - the ancient curse of all Greeks that we have to do that at some point - and it's expensive to keep an empty restaurant open. If they open at half capacity, or no one comes, what next? Order people at gunpoint to go out to dinner? /2— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) May 15, 2020
The minute we reopen, I'm going to get a haircut and a manicure - as long as the salons are observing rules that I trust the CDC will tell us to keep in place so that I don't die with nice hair and nails. But is it worth opening if we won't go? Isn't this how it has to work? /4— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) May 15, 2020
All this "end the lockdown, you heartless elitists" sounds like just bullshit Foxified virtue-signaling. I can't figure out who wants to pay the overhead and food storage and wait staff for a place that might still be empty. It won't be me or Greg Gutfeld. That much I know. /5x— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) May 15, 2020
