Sorry for the late response here. I appreciate the points you raised, but could do without the snarky comments. They distract from the argument, IMO. Particularly when you utilize strawmans like so:

> flippantly shrugging off the death of a million (or THREE million) of your countrymen as an argument against closing restaurants

The above is a blatant mischaracterization of my position. You really did show that straw effigy who was boss though :P
