Fuck Ford. This place is a great local grocery store. It doesn't deserve this.
They asked for it by trying to claim to be 2 different businesses in one and thinking they can cherry pick which rules they follow.
Instead of complying, HE chose to close. No one forced them to do it, they chose to fire everyone.
The store's business model isn't the problem. The 10k square feet rule is asinine and disproportionately affects urban businesses in dense, walkable communities.
It may be asinine, but it's still the law. They were told what laws applied to their establishment, they chose to ignore those laws, faced consequences for it and decided to fire everyone instead of complying.
This is just sad all around.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
