> largess-dependant businesses It always surprised me that 'coffee houses' were one of the first businesses to get emergency covid funding. Like shit is hitting the fan but you want to save the livelihoods of a bunch of useless gender studies graduates? Same for tattooists and a whole bunch of other useless people, who only exist because no one has any idea what to spend money on other than walkabout coffee or scratching a pokemon on their leg. We are so far from a society that has any meaning now
