Chicago is having a press conference with restaurant owners about a program where streets are being closed for extra outdoor seating space

one business owner said her employees gave her money so she could open back up. They "put their money where their mouth is when it comes to getting back to work."

that doesn't make sense or seem legal?
only way this could possibly be good is if it were converted into a worker co-op, but I'm not optimistic

rare good covid19 news, the cooperative that runs burger king, taco bell and other restaurant chains in finland is giving 50% of the bailout they are getting to their furloughed employees

yes, the unions and the local equivalent of the DSA own all the burger king and taco bell restaurants you see around here

Okay up front what is the problem with Finland? From the outside you look like paradise but there has to be something wrong (besides the whole underlying racism prevalent everywhere).

bbq up and down appalachia in general is remarkably lovely outside a few exceptions, just piles of sugar sauce on flavorless meat. people think it automatically has to be good because we're in "the south" or whatever but it ain't

im in JC and it's still regressive as hell despite downtown cleaning up a lot recently. a couple years ago someone dumped a cow carcass on a person's lawn near downtown because they had a bunch of lgbtq flags on their porch. could definitely be worse though, kingsport is an absolute shithole

good to know it's actually lovely lol. i went to some firehouse place and i just got cold sugary meats. it was a neat interior though

surprisingly pretty decent tacos at one place i went to.

I've never been to applachia before until a year or so ago when I did some work on a TVA project outside of Kingston/Johnson City and hoo boy i don't think i've ever seen so many fat people and diabetes billboards and help diabetes signs in every retail and restaurant before. it was kinda eye-openining from being relatively sheltered west coast only mostly been west of the 100th meridian (and new jersey).

johnson city was actually really nice tho, i wouldnt have minded living there. lots of actually good food, but the bbq sucked rear end despite the hype.

Pittsburgh really shouldn't be considered a part of Appalachia, it's got nothing in common with places like Tennessee.

Chicago's being really restrictive still, bars and clubs that don't sell food can't reopen , and the lakefront is still shut down

The real issue is going to be how bad it gets on trains and in offices but there's no way to know how many people are actually going to be using them
