    Who is they? Do you even know who you’re talking about to make such an assumption?

      Normally “they” (and other pronouns) refer to the subject or the topic of the previous context. In this case, to the pictured venue displayed as a metaphor. I hope this clears things for you and cheers you up the little bit you need.

        I’m aware of what they means grammatically, but thank you anyway.

        Please name the they in this case. If know this company and their previous history to know how they will react in the future, then I’d like to know who it is.

        Otherwise, you’re just throwing a blanket statement.

        There are plenty of businesses around me that would not bend the knee. I’m sorry you live in a place that doesn’t have that.
