Korean Small Business Owners Unhappy with Extension of Virus Restrictions

The small business community in Korea continues to feel the brunt of the COVID restrictions:

The government’s decision to extend the current social distancing measures has drawn controversy, as many believe that such measures will not help curb the virus spread while only driving more self-employed up against the wall.

Along with the extension, the government also tightened the curfew on eateries and cafes, and expanded incentives offered to people who have been fully vaccinated for the coronavirus.

Small business owners criticized the strengthened limit on operating hours as excessive, while medical experts viewed that the “vaccine incentives” would have limited effects on boosting consumption.

The small businesses and the bourgeoisie that run them and do business outside government channels need to be destroyed, according to dialectical materialism. Marx and Engels are roasting in hell. So will those still pushing that failed philosophy…

Restrictions on small business are a globalized scam to destroy them and transfer their market share to big business.

And when building owners can’t make their payments, big banks will have commercial properties at cut-rate prices (and, in America, with rent moratorium, residential properties as well).

The next step in Korea will be enforcing decades old laws on the books that are never enforced because small business would die.

…but now that they want small business to die…

…selective enforcement time!

Korea has been a prosperous country because of the encouragement of small business… one of the top countries with lowest barriers to entry for a lot of businesses and lots of government money available if you can make a product to export.

During IMF, the response to remove so many cumbersome small business regulations is a textbook case.

Koreans value hard work and expect the rewards from it which builds a proud independent prosperous society.

That is being destroyed by the corporatiats and globalists… and Korean citizens are allowing it to happen.

Shame!

Some time back, Incheon bars and restaurants were going to ignore it starting on a Monday..

Then there was no more news.

Koreans need to stand up to this or they will hand the country over to the multinationals.
