    this is a really good post BJ
    so much so that i have commented on it twice
    and burnt has found the very best comparison:

    But since we are not seeing zero new cases, the government decides to shut down farm operations, on March 1st. To help "flatten the curve".
    But not all farm operations. Since farming is an essential service, they've got to allow some food production.
    So they decide to allow the BTOs, the multinational-owned farms to continue production as usual because, ostensibly, they conform the most readily. (In reality, they don't follow the rules or reduce the risk either)
    All the non-BTOs already have their seed, N, phos sitting in their sheds, bought and paid for, of course.
    Under very tight restrictions ,the non-BTOs are not allowed to sell grain they have in storage even though their long-established customers want it, worse than CWB or OWPMB days. But the BTOs can load trucks out any amount at their pleasure, as long as they sign up the protocol sheet.
    And because the supply has tightened up, they are making out like bandits.
    And the WuFlu still spreads and the rules tighten down even more.


    even chuck and some of his club should be able to understand what this BBQ fellow is trying to convey, everyone should think about this while supporting costco, walmart , etc. Rules are not always right or fair

      Did you see the video? Is that a steak house or a pot house? More to that story quite likely.

          Flatten the unfair playing field. The policy of shutting down small players while the big boxes rake in coin is totally unfair unless the big boxes compensate the little guys. Or is this a “ Take one for the team” society?

              Actually tax Amazon, Twitter, FB, Netflix, Walmart, Costco? As in we are all in this together? Perish the thought.

              I was taught a long time ago, the way to beat the big boys is to own the big boys. Buy their stocks.

                Franchised chain restaurants share income streams. So if Montanas is closed or struggling in one region, sales from another region can prop that. Thats a single business entity with hundreds of locations.

                I doubt mr adam has anything like that to fall back on. They locked up his welding shop too. Can we throw the locks up on your shop wheel? Wouldnt want you trying to cook something out there with the torch.

                    Were they told to close or could they offer tske out and delivery? Asking for the chicken?

                      Montana’s and any other restaurant are having a tough go no matter where they are I would assume. Your leaving out the fact that even in areas where in person are not banned business is down big time because obviously people are worried. Spinning all these conspiracies don’t help anyone. Maybe do your part and add to what we can be doing to help each other out through this. Chicken and I support local restaurants more than we did before through pick up orders.

                          Part of the great reset is collapsing our currency by running up staggering amounts of public debt using covid as a pretext. One day Venezuelans woke up and their cash bought nothing. This is happening here, hyperinflation. It’s intentional and it’s pure tyranny. You are warned.
