Unfortunately I think big chains and big corporations will have an even bigger slice of the economy by the time this is fully over.
I definitely support trying to patronize smaller shops.
For the small shops that go under, it is unlikely the land lord is going to find another tenant.
It would be nice if small businesses could do a fast and easy bankruptcy and then open up again in the same location. If they were profitable before the pandemic you would expect the same shop to be profitable afterwards.
But our system isn't geared for that. And I suppose I should stop at this point anyway.
