"The landlord was willing to help, she said, but only if she signed a new lease that came with a 3% increase in rent."
Typical. Landlords are the real terrorists

That is easy to say, but landlords have to eat and pay mortgages too. Don't try to make them the villians in this. For the most part, people will be as flexible as they can be, but everyone has to make ends meet.
It never made much sense to me that barbers weren't allowed to open long before now with modifications. They already sterilize equipment between customers, it isn't that tough to wear masks while doing the job and a good barber doesn't take much more than 15-20 minutes to do their job. As a matter of fact, when my grandfather was sharecropping in the early part of the 1900s, he used to cut hair to help feed his 11 children. He used to work outside most of the time. Why that hasn't been an option doesn't make much sense.
