This evening temperatures are actually warm for a December night in Kansas City and windy weather in the 40s isn't so bad — Unless you're one of the poor souls working at a restaurant and desperately trying to make outdoor seating work.
Recently, we stumbled upon a nearby hipster locale hoping their heat lamp might garner more customers. The scheme didn't work and locals are justifiably too scared to enjoy a meal near one another right now.
Recently, there was a bit of progress on the curfew and local places can now stay open until 11 PM. Sadly, that hasn't helped THE KANSAS CITY RESTAURANT APOCALYPSE.
Dozens of KCMO restaurants have closed since the start of the pandemic and layoffs now number in the thousands. The industry has been devastated and it'll be a long time (if ever) before the once vibrant KC metro food scene returns . . . Vaccine or not.
Accordingly, we share this quick note from a restaurant insider when we asked about the impact of local precautions . . .
"KC doesn't have a restaurant industry any more. There are just kitchens. It's all drive-thru or delivery. People are going to be really surprised to see all of the empty storefronts in January because, personally, I know of at least a dozen major locations that are going dark for Winter. Sad to say it but most of them won't ever come back. You can't just turn on and turn off a small business, it doesn't work like that . . . We're working on a job loss report and the number we've started with is 2,000 service industry jobs permanently lost just in KCMO. Restaurants used to be a good way to make a living in Kansas City. It was a great community, a lot of fun, and really great people who loved their jobs. There's only a shadow of that now. For the most part, it's over."
As far as hope for the vaxx goes . . . It's uncertain if we'll see small restaurants come back with the same virtuosity and skill they once offered. Instead, expect more corporate and chain offerings buy up local space that now threatens to stand vacant.
Developing . . .
Surprised it's not worse than that. Seems like the point is to destroy local jobs here. Very little effort put into helping people make a living.

DeleteIdiot. The focus is on saving lives. You can't wait tables when you're dead.
Jeebus, the scary part? You actually believe that 635. The hive mind is powerful in you.
Delete6:35 you’re the idiot, we only have 0.60% active cases so yes, let’s fuck up everybody’s Lives and livelihoods for no good reason at all.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna know why our rate is so astronomically low? Because people already are and have been doing the right things already, Jesus you’re stupid. Keep on believing the lies of the dimwit party and even worse, mayor mcdumbo and that fat fake dr rexy. You people are a bunch of fuckers.
There is a straight line reference from the counterproductive measures taken by gutless, idiot politicians to not only the destruction of the economy, but the broken families, suicides, wrecked education, violence and a litany of items that make it obvious to all, but the willfully impercipient and ignorant fools who vote Democrat that these "Lockdowns" and curfews are patently insane.
ReplyDeleteThe transmission rate in New York, where the fuckin Governor literally killed 15,000 grandparents and was rewarded with accolades, an Emmy and the Ted Kennedy Award for something (Swimming?) is 1.4%
Here in KC, one of the largest, by land mass cities in the US, the transmission rate has got to be way less than 1.4%
If, by some small chance, in fact, you get the Covid at a mom and pop Restaurant/Bar, then you still, if you are not as fat as that fat fuck Rex Archer and don't have co-morbidity problems, you are not gonna die and if fact probably won't even "present".
For the most part, bar folks are Liberal as hell and always vote Democrat. The Mayor and Governors in these areas where the Fascist/Socialist suzerainty is inflicted on small business by way of draconian, "Break The Butterfly On The Wheel" measures is designed to put the owners (Who, as small business owners, DON'T vote democrat) out of business.
Silicon Valley, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, the Deep State Federal Government, the Media (Owned by huge companies beholding to China) and the slime ball filth that when not sloughing their skins, slither through the hallways of Congress, have all benefitted in terms of power, money and sinecure.
Pelosi sat on relief for the very people here in KC who are now out of luck and hope, in order to elect Joe Biden and his crime family.
In my entire 70 years on this planet, I have never seen such callous indifference to the plight of Americans by other so called "Americans" who, are actually agents of a sinister and nefarious Globalist "Reset".
These mutherfukkers should be literally hung.
Yeah! Hang 'em, chuck! In fact you can show us how it's done!
DeleteTranslation: go hang yourself.

ReplyDeleteIronically , Which Politician does not receive a paycheck while your ass starves ? Waiting for an answer from the Crickets.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump lost his job and his house, too. Let's not feel too bad.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry, he won. I forgot.
"Instead, expect more corporate and chain offerings buy up local space that now threatens to stand vacant."
ReplyDeleteYeah, Grinders is gonna close and an Applebee's is gonna move in, Tony. Really believable.
^^^^ no, you lost.... your effing mind
ReplyDeleteTDS is very real, and apparently it’s incurable so....
ReplyDeleteWell when the equivelent of 10 jumbo jets full of people die each day of covid, you have to do something. Would you do something if 10 jumbo jets, each filled with 340 people crashed everyday in the usa?
ReplyDeleteThat 70 jumbo jets a week? Eat and home and save 3,400 people? Sure
7:13 do you want to do the hanging?
ReplyDeleteIf only the MAGATS has listened instead of becoming super-spreaders like their mom on a hot summer night. Thanks, MAGATS.
ReplyDeleteHey dumb white people, don't you get it, people are afraid to go inside take off their masks with other people because there is a deadly airborne virus everywhere. Not many people, (in their right mind) are willing to purposefully go out and contract a virus, maybe it won't kill them, but who wants to roll the dice on their health except a bunch of stupid white folks. Take your funky asses home and stop spreading the virus.
ReplyDeleteYou lost, MAGATS. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteAMAZON is doing wonderful. What else would anyone want out of life ? weird
ReplyDeleteJust a typical case of Covid and 1 hospital visit for it will cost you $1,500. out of your pocket. If they decide to run other "tests" on you, an otherwise perfectly healthy person - you may pay $4,000 like I did! Your insurance is NOT going to cover everything now.
ReplyDeleteWho wants to give $1,500 to their hospital. Food establishments know the risk when they startup - competition, fads, reviews, economy all are risks
ReplyDeleteblacks have a FAR greater Covid infection rate than Whites..
the darkies be passing around the crack pipe
10:10 Liar.
ReplyDelete9:08 Yeah, just what the world needs, more of you coloreds running the show.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks.
10:43 the blacks have a far greater infection rate than whites is a Trump lie that was put out there very early so that you dumb ass white people will believe that, and continue to go out and spend money. Based on the number of active infections and death, there is no way that black have a far greater covid infection rate. You dummies will believe any lie Trump tell you. It came out yesterday that Trump wants to get as many people infected as possible.
ReplyDeleteI think we should shut down black business' forever because of Sickle Cell. Blacks do have a greater infection rate with Covid because just like the Covid knows that it needs to only infect people after 11PM, it also knows that it is easier to infect people with below average IQ.
ReplyDeleteIt's serious and no wonder black people like 11:01 are sweating it. Every single chimp in the zoo is already dead.
ReplyDelete11:20 easy to infect people with low IQ, sounds like you, make sure to wear your mask and wash you hands for 20 seconds.
ReplyDeleteGet sick and you never know whats its going to cost you. For many its a real expensive hospital or emergency room bill. For others (about 320,000) its a funeral and they run $5,000 to $15,000. each.
ReplyDeleteEating at home : $10.
I will eat at home.
Yet some of you will butt fuck without any fear. And most businesses will promote your perversion as a social inequality. Keep the Original Pandemic of AIDS alive for another 40 years and millions of victims. Drop the Jackson for the penny every time.
ReplyDeleteAMERICAN DEATHS EQUAL TO ONE HUNDRED 9/11 ATTACKS
ReplyDeleteon Trump's watch and you still make excuses for him?
Typical.
Great job mayor! You've successfully killed the city. Go back to the lecture circuit you flaming piece of shit!
