people do have to eat, so supermarkets are the winners, as are companies like Amazon for non-perishables. Bring donuts from home, make your own coffee, you can't drink it in public anymore with a mask on anyways.

Is a second epidemic and is

Is a second epidemic and is not just fancy schmancy places, is a bloodbath and in every borough, they can't afford NY rent without high volume:

Great!

P.S. Have you been able to assist our neighbors right across the street from your office? @riverdalepress has reported on the probable closing of the Kingsbridge Donut Shop? Where is the Kingsbridge BID? Why couldn't they receive more aid?
Be well.https://t.co/BD5ZXlqpe6

a small part of the collateral damage has included Tony Soprano style "waste management" business and those who had jobs with them:

Business for the private sanitation industry plummeted by as much as 70% when the COVID-19 outbreak began and work remains scarce for modestly paid employees, despite their “essential worker” label. https://t.co/74sjOsejXG

White protesters up in the Pacific Northwest believe they aren't white, so we should respect their chosen identity.

Ditto on that. And blacks

Ditto on that. And blacks that spoke were not using ghetto speak, sounded like college students.

But nobody has to believe just us, there's a NYTimes article reporting on the general phenomenon now published a week ago, I posted an excerpt in comments.

It's actually not exhibited in NYC much, except for those few Hot to Trotsky Park Avenue radical kids who have always been with us, mostly everybody comes here has been a striver for centuries. Started with Dutch capitalists...sin city..

(Even the John Reed type revolutionaries in the early 20th century Greenwich Village enjoyed fine food, wine and booze, theater and other entertainment like free loving and affairs with edjumacated wimmen liking fashionable clothes poetry and art, literary parties, enjoyed summer houses at Croton-on-the-Hudson and Woodstock, not exactly working men's lifestyle, more like the proverbial "finer things in life")

Where's everyone going to work tho if there's no striving upper middle class that needs services? Switch from good tips waiting on tables in fine restaurants and as colorists in hair salons and pool cleaning and landscaping and decorators etc. to nursing home attendants for boomers? (Covid, covid, covid = invest in health care, health care, health care, as much as those jobs sound loathsome to many, it may be all there is besides serving each other fast food fare, fetching and delivering each others' Amazon orders, Uber, bike maintenance, grocery store worker and the like.)

This could be the end of gentrification. It's hard to see all those bougeois establishments created in major cities continuing in this climate. In fact, I read about black ex-residents marching through Seattle's gentrified areas chanting "give us our shit back!"
