The money for stimulus checks and SBA loans is gone. Banks are saying they have approved loans, but have NOT received a dime. Many are asking where the hell did all that money go?

"On Thursday morning, the $349 billion emergency small business lending program officially tapped out. The Small Business Administration officially ran out of money for the Paycheck Protection Program, according to a message for lenders posted on the administration's website."

"Bottom line: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Democrats are talking Thursday to try and to reach agreement on a package that will immediately increase funding for the program. But they aren't there yet and this is no longer a theoretical exercise. The program had, and continues to have, glitches and difficulties. But it also rolled through $349 billion in less than two weeks. That's how urgent it is for small business owners. That's how desperate, how flat catastrophic, the economic situation is amid the coronavirus pandemic. "

They should just let people open up their businesses.

Many small businesses will have a very hard time opening without any money. Making payroll, even for 1 week is a problem, let alone 1 month.

People will realize what's really happening by the end of this month.
Media people and politicians will not be affected much.

Don't look to the democratic party for your salvation, they are dragging feet by design, they want a total, complete, cascading systemic failure of the economy. Nobody in media, any media you can hear that is, is asking the right questions, folks do the fucking math, the democratic party is an organ of the CCP, they are not simply taking advantage of their little bio-weapon release so much as coordinating with it against the Trump administration! Just face reality and do the simple math, they have been engaged in open treason for 4-years now, there was no "peaceful transition of power following the 2016 election!"

First thing Obama did was spy on Trump via the CIA/NSA/FBI, the three of which then conspired with the British intelligence services to manufacture a rolling, ongoing coup d' tat masquerading as investigations and impeachments. They rolled out this bio-attack directly upon the heels of the failure of Pelosi to get Trump via impeachment, she actually increased his favorable ratings instead of reducing them!

Folks wake the fuck up, what you are experiencing is not an accident, nor did the CCP act alone in perpetrating the attack, they had ample help from within the United States federal government, it came from the democratic party. What you are currently enjoying is not the result of an accident, its by design, you really really need to come to terms with that reality. Do you not see what the democrats are doing??? They are standing in solidarity with the WHO, the CCP, and every other fascist government/movement on earth, most especially the ultra-fascist billionaires doing business in China, against the United States and its lawfully elected president!

Its the democratic governors who have shut it all down, and insist upon deepening the shutdowns. There is only one purpose for doing that, and just as gun control hasn't a thing to do with fighting crime and saving lives, this hasn't anything to do with keeping you safe, its a naked power grab!

I'll be honest, the SBA loans seem like kind of a scam to me. A business owner can get two and a half months of their payroll in a "loan". The "loan" doesn't have to be repaid if the business owner agrees to keep their people employed. You know what counts as keeping them employed? Firing them and rehiring them in June. The business owner doesn't have to give them hours, doesn't have to pay them and they'll get the loan forgiven anyway.

Basically it's free money going directly to the business owner, in my opinion. Although I'm sure it'll do some good for some people, I'm pretty sure the vast majority is going to be massively wasted.
