People just disagree with the sentiment that a bar that can't sell drinks should get government assistance.

It's plainly untrue that they "can't sell drinks" — they're popular, they bring in tens of thousands of dollars a month, and the bar is very well-reviewed online.
They just can't sell enough drinks to meet the arbitrary threshold we've set in the city, once you take into account the many ways that our government fails small businesses.

Isn't the threshold "on par with the other bars in the area"?

Surely the other bars are struggling in the exact same way. That seemed to basically be the point of the article.

And the point of the comment thread is that the others aren't.
If one bar goes out of business the others pick up it's patrons.
