Joseph, most of those that got the loans and grants were big business. The few that went to mainstreet had so many strings attached it wasn’t worth the effort. If you cannot afford to pay back rent on a small business what’s the use of putting 75% of the loan/grant proceeds to payroll? People aren’t working, they don’t have discretionary money to spend in many specialty stores. A storefull of employees without customers isn’t gonna survive. No small businesses were consulted to find out what small business needed and the best way to financially support them. Try again. It’s a pity there was no oversight on who got the money, but that’s how this administration works.
