That real and tangible risk of loss is part of the cost of doing business. A large percentage of businesses go out of business from unexpected changes in the world. Lots of restaurants went under with a lack of customers when the government closed the economy. That business owner may well have lost everything. Poof Gone.

Or the gov decided to protect the dead beat from having to pay rent with no evictions and continue to extend them every few months. There are lots of businesses looking to hire so people go back to work so the ban be lifted, but the fooking state will continue to give hand outs and continue to extend the band. Last I heard, I can't write off the losses.
