To me I just seems like the pandemic benefitted a lot of larger corporations in many ways such as: eliminating competition who couldn’t hold out with no business for so long, allowing changing of store hours so they can have less overhead, pushing people to shop online, among other things

What did large corporations do that made diners and bodegas stop being 24 hrs?

The diners that survived changed their hours to save money just like the larger corporations.

Yes, businesses of all sizes like to save money.

Yeah they were forced to because of the pandemic and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they were forced to

Huh? What a fucking conclusion to jump to.

I think he’s saying scrutiny of business models increased for businesses of all sizes. Nothing more. You can stop digging.

Maybe we have different definitions of coincidence, then... To me that sounds like one

Son, I have no idea what you’re saying. Who forced them?

Whoever lengthened the pandemic. It should have been resolved after a few months

I'll be sure to relay to the virus that you're disappointed it didn't happen according to your timetable.

What killed it was when they shut down bars. Tons of people weren’t going out and eating late night anymore. Corporations were able to wait it out while the small shops died out

We’re talking about small shops that survived but still haven’t restored late night hours. For instance Wo Hop closes at 10 now.
