What strikes me most about this (typical awesome band gesture aside) is how stupidly connected this shows they stay to what's going on in music.
We're talking about it - with even UK people going - Oh, really - the Cro is shutting?
Meanwhile... the band isn't even in the UK, it's the middle of a Pandemic, what prob seems like half the state is on fire, they already know, already decided what they'll do, already contacted the bar, and it's already been confirmed and announced. Visions of Dave sitting in his glasses and slippers at 3am trawling the internet "...which motherfucker can I help today...".
Landlords AND insurance company - don't forget those last greedy fuckers they are really even more to blame here. Bar seems to have had what they thought was good cover for wages - only to find out as so many have that in the small print there are exclusions for "unforeseen acts of god" or similar bullshit. Sure happy to take your money for years and years... paid for cover? what cover? well you can cover your burnt ass with the policy - oh no wait its all digital now - guess you're fucked there too...
And landlords doing this - WTF are they thinking? They have 50 other tenants chomping at the bit to jump straight into the space at full price... um not. 5 tenants chomping... um nope. One tenant willing to move in temporarily at 75% rent... maybe if they are VERY VERY lucky. Goodwill to any business perm relocating to that site... prob minus 200% trade. Watch while the fucker prob sits empty until the end of the pandemic - when prob no bar will want to touch it. Greed - what a wonderful thing it is to see (the results of biting fuckers in the ass).
I think I've just used up my Sunday rant π€£
