      Monthly payment for any business location is the worst nightmare for any business owner. And no one wants to carry a record of filing bankruptcy to get out of the contract they sign.

    Actually I am not even sorry for America. You preach Capitalism religiously over there and you condemn socialism.
    In Capitalism money rules so the buisness which will make more money will always get preferable treatment.
    The more money a buisness makes the more essential it is in Capitalism.
    Now when people get into a predicament they cry for socialist actions.
    But to help people now is socialism. Thats a reason why every Country which is not purely capitalistic has a better standing in this crisis.
    Because the Government and the people have to care for each other by their economic System.
    This doesn't mean that I care for these buisnesses just wanted to say that this i the pure Capitalism America wants to religiously preach to the whole world.
