This sounds backwards:

Electric cars are fungible, social fabric is not.

So we can lose Tesla and be fine with remaining electric car manufacturers or new ones. In contrast, losing a long-term social hub is a lasting negative impact.

Average life span of a restaurant is 5 years. The majority that go under will not have been long-term social hubs.
