    PizzaHut operator bankruptcy

    NPC International, the largest franchisee of Wendy's and Pizza Hut, filed for bankruptcy, under pressure from COVID-19 lockdowns which have decimated the restaurant sector. The company has struggled to move towards delivery and away from traditional dine-in, as labor and food costs have risen. Bloomberg

    Pizza Hut's been under the water for years now and now they blame on a virus for their downfall? Really?!! That's the lamest bankruptcy I have heard so far.

    Ah. Step back from Pizza and apply this thinking to government right now... Decades worth of malfeasance in the financial affairs and budgets of pensions, states, govt entities and agencies are in play. Not in question, but in play! Quid-pro Joe even told his donors so yesterday... He will end most of Trumps tax-cuts and "a lot of you may not like it."

    Make no mistake... THIS is what Wuhan Virus is all about now!

    BTW, The fiscal year starts today, July 1, for many/most states. Watch the new local taxes take affect. Popcorn, not pizza.

    It is not a lame bankruptcy. They are saying that the virus was the tipping point which pushed them into bankruptcy, The article mentions other restaurant chains which have also recently declared bankruptcy.

    These bankruptcies are jobs that will never ever come back, with tens of thousands of small businesses staying shut for good and new bankruptcies everyday this will just snowball into a long deep recession.
    However the more bankruptcies the higher equities rise.
