Rising Costs, Shrinking Consumer Spending and Changing Customer Habits Push More Restaurants Into Bankruptcy
by Laura Harris, Natural News October 26, 2024
At least 10 major restaurant chains have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this year due to rising costs, shrinking consumer spending and the disappearance of pandemic-era financial support.
In August alone, three notable restaurant chains sought bankruptcy protections. Mediterranean fast-casual chain Roti filed on Aug. 23, citing challenges from high operating costs and decreasing foot traffic in downtown areas. Earlier that month, Buca di Beppo and World of Beer also turned to Chapter 11 to restructure their businesses amid rising labor costs and inflationary pressures.

The Biden/Harris Economy Stinks!
The "fix" I've heard from Trump is that he will slam tariffs on everything coming into the US which will essentially make pretty much EVERYTHING unaffordable to the rank and file. I'm having trouble getting my head around how that is an improvement over what you posted here.
If I recall, even when asked about the rising price of child care in a recent townhall, Trump somehow related it back to the tariffs and the money he thinks that will generate for the economy.
Again, for a top-tier businessman like Trump I'm surprised that he doesn't know that tariffs are passed on to the consumer. They are NEVER paid out of the CEO bonus pool. They are NEVER paid out of the corporate profit.
Never.
So if you think the H/B economy sucks, you will be unpleasantly surprised when the cost of literally everything goes up under Trump.
