You’re trying to compare a government program to retain employees during a bs forced government shutdown to being forced to pay an individual loan someone took out for the advancement of their personal career? This is your mentality?
No one told you to stop paying your employees.
You’re trying to defend taking advantage of being the beneficiary of a govt. financed program while denying the same to others.
Isn’t socialism great when you are the recipient?

To be fair Lou doesn't pay his employees correctly or legally so probably didn't qualify for PPP loans. It only covered W2 wages.

So the government forces us to shut our doors for covid
Then they offer to make a percentage payment to retain each employee to pay them for the time they were forced to take off. Key word being employee
You pay that money to the employee so the employee can survive
Companies like mine do not pay people not to work
Let me know how this fits your criteria at all
Let me know how this is even remotely comparable to paying off loans that people personally took out
How would you handle kids that didn't go to college because they didn't want to or couldn't take on the debt?
How about kids that went right to work?
Or the thousand other scenarios that make this a terrible idea

Next your gonna tell me reparations would be a good idea
Or that we America stole this land
Or any of the other left leaning silly ideas

Talk to a foreigner and report back. There's a reason you don't see anyone leaving here to go somewhere else

Now do the office staff
My pleasure. As usual the money flowed to the more affluent.

“The study, conducted by economist David Autor and others, found that only about one-quarter of the funds from the PPP went towards supporting jobs that would have disappeared during the pandemic,according to a breakdown of the research written by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

It also found that benefits within the $800 billion program "flowed disproportionately to wealthier households rather than to the rank-and-file workers that its funds were intended to reach."

Just one of many links verifying companies screwed workers and took the cash.

Of all the things I will read today that are untrue this is the most untrue without even having to google it to verify it’s untrue.

If you are using your real name and it is untrue, then it is libelous.

People are going to take advantage of any government money that is handed out (especially when done so carelessly)
This is one of many reasons that I am not a fan of government programs

Let me see if I have this correct
Teresa posted something to the effect that AL hopes America will be seen as great again
To this point I said ask any foreigner what they think of America
I am sure they will tell you America is not only a great place but a beacon of light for the world
You state that this is the most untrue thing you will read all day and you don't even need to google it

What would you google?
Which part of my statement is untrue?

Funny how hard it is to keep secrets anywhere but the success of a conspiracy is incumbent upon secrecy.

As I said I don’t need to google any of it, but you should.
“Any foreigner?”
“don't see anyone leaving here to go somewhere else”

Reich Wing history lesson.

“A hundred-fifty years ago or 200 years ago, when the Blacks were slaves, did they ever go to Washington, D.C., and have a rally 200 years ago to protest against slavery? No. What did they do?
Here’s what the Blacks did about 150 years ago. They humbled themselves. They prayed. They sought God’s face and they turned from their wicked ways and God made slavery illegal through several white presidents. It worked, didn’t it? They didn’t protest.”

A right wing conspiracy is incumbent on it being publicly shared as many times as possible before any fact checking can prove it’s bs.
