Sounds like the business owner has entered the "find out" stage.

I highly doubt this is because of hosting separatists, otherwise his business ran out of money insanely fast.

More likely is he’s been struggling for a while and now has a scapegoat (“I’m not a crappy business owner who ran it into the ground, it was the federalists!”).

    You "highly doubt"? Man, that's some messed up thought patterns. If they closed a coffee shop in Cold Lake (pop 16K - seven coffee shops remain) because of mismanagement this timing is exactly right - mismanage to till you run out of credit then cut your losses and bail. Stick the blame on anyone but yourself and your piss-poor management. He said the coffee shop's decline started with COVID when he joined a traitor-sect. Hmmm, who is the baddie in this recounting: COVID, traitors (let's call them what they are), or lousy management of the two.

    Ya makes yer bed an ya lies innit.

    Oh, and mismanagement IS doing stupid, trendy, selfish things like hosting traitors in hopes of grifting money off their cult. His mismanagement was not accounting for the inherent cheapness of his target demographic.
