As shutdown enters its 3rd week, expect it to impact the economy “in a nonlinear fashion.

“.. missed paychecks, slower pace of business investment ..

“.. our initial estimate of a 0.1% drag on GDP is now outdated, and we expect a 0.25% drag per week, or 1% per month.”

Soviet time capsules: messages from the past with lessons to teach us in 2017
"We're a little jealous of all you who are celebrating the centenary of our Soviet motherland"
Arkhangelsk
"You are talking with representatives of other galaxies about scientific and cultural collaborations"
Novosibirsk
"You have eliminated harmful bacteria and viruses, ageing and sickness"
Tiraspol
"We address you, those who don't know what war is"
Okulovka

Turns out it's a restaurant group that, as far as I can tell, has one (1) open restaurant. The other 4 brands have all their locations closed.

So this dude is literally just A Guy That Owns a Seafood Restaurant in California
