wrt LA, Chicago, Portland, etc. - better get ready for the occupation. Immigrants and others here are afraid to leave their homes. Right now I’m at a coffee shop/cafe where I often go for lunch, and they told me they only have the breakfast menu because they sent the kitchen staff home to keep them safe. The owner is doing the cooking. Not a big deal that I couldn’t buy a sandwich but a very big deal that people are scared to come to work.
