Nope. I can't believe you think you know how to run a small business although you probably think you do being an engineer, attorney, investment advisor, virologist, and political scientist among other things.Quote:

Guisslap, if your wife's business had to shutdown, did she still keep her employees? If so, why? Seems to me that her employee's lost their jobs when her business shutdown. I am not a genius like you so please explain this to us simpletons.....
Please keep posting, your comments are hilarious!
She was able to pay her employees (around 60 people) and rent thanks to the forgivable PPP loan until they were able to reopen. They had zero income for the period they were shut down. That was exactly the point of PPP.Quote:

We are getting closer and closer to living in a communist country.. Funny no one seemed to have a problem when democrats and Maxine Watters told people to harass and intimidate Trump's cabinet and members of Congress just a few years ago..
This won't turn out well. The non-sheeple are about to get a gut full.
You can’t threaten teachers. Right wingers have lost their minds.Quote:

Who has been out there confronting teachers while they simply try to enjoy a meal, pump gas, or pick up groceries? Oh, I know, you misspelled “leftist”.
