Eat to support

We are all scared of the virus.  So we work at home, if at all.  We take e-Learning classes from home.  We shop online.  We eat at home.  We entertain ourselves at home.  

For those of us who have a job and/or stable income, we are the privileged.  It is inconvenient.  It is boring.  It is annoying.  But we will survive.  

Not so the many small businesses, their owners and employees.  

Many small restaurants have closed.  Even big restaurants have closed.  The big corporations with deep pockets will survive, and may even find a way to prosper.  Even when the big restaurants and businesses close, the bosses will survive.  It is their employees who may not.  

Assuming that we want our favourite small businesses to survive, and assuming that we wish to see the working class survive, what can we do?  

I suppose that the least we can do is to keep on giving them our business.  

As far as practicable, as far as they take the proper precautions, we can go and eat our favourite foods.  At least order take-out.  

The food actually tastes better when we feel we are doing good when we eat.  

What sort of restaurants and businesses do we wish to see survive the virus?  We do have some influence, as little as it may be.
