What’s YOUR plan to save small business and your jobs?

After nearly 3 decades, we shut the doors to our business. No income now . Hopefully we will still get SS from the States.
Life is tough at the moment, but I got some good fishing gear.

Simple answer moratorium on any bills and taxes due till this is over completely and any stimulus money to individuals and households at risk immediately at whatever threshold and start from there. Don't know if we can believe it or not but the Wuhan hospital site on youtube said Wednesday they had no more new cases. Which means we got 8-12 weeks of this in some capacity or another.

Won't be doing anything to help. I sell cars for a living, my pay has been cut by 90% already while this is going on. My wife's income gas been completely erased as she is staying home with the kids. Overall, we're down to earning just enough to pay for health and dental insurace. If I get a $1,000 gubmint check, it will cover utilities and 1/3 of the rent. No food will be purchased until the last can of beans has been eaten.

Gotta wonder why big business is slated to receive OUR money, but small businesses are partially reliant on these proposed checks, to be used by the citizenry to save, or at the very least, help them survive a contrived plan to decimate them anyway.

I mean honestly, wtf....has anyone had enough, or are we still playing ball and expecting a favorable outcome?

What's SOOOOOO difficult to see here?

Nice to be home and out of the rat race for a minute, isn't it? (For some, probably not.)

Now, you're awaiting your "award" for being compliant...

False sense of comfort coupled with placating policies to make us believe things will return to "normal".

It's a joke but it isn't funny in the slightest.

You had better be smarter than supporting your local restaurants if you hope to rise above this grand theft that's been ongoing and is coming to its inevitable conclusion..

Sigh...

The idea that giving checks to individuals will indirectly help small business is so ridiculous. I had enough a month ago. I've seen all I need to see from the federal government.

With any degree of luck people will seek out and become more active in the community, reduce the need for large conglomerates and focus on farmers markets and community, like it used to be before big business destroyed it all.

As far as what I'm going to do, well I'm going to focus on survival, I'm a single dad raising a child and at the bottom of maslows pyramid.

What we had was nice. But now its ebbing away.

Sure, parts of the economy have already tanked.

But did we need more superhero movies?

Did we need an expensive vacation that will max out all our credit?

Do we need to eat out? Dining out is the single biggest waste of money after intoxicants. You can cook a meal for your self; for between 1/4 and 1/16 of the price of a take-out meal. And you don't have to use a microwave.

A bunch of the economy is wasteful crap. I'm sorry to the people who depend on Americans unquenchable thirst for tasteless crap. But cmon.

something's got to give.

The only real option is to vote for Trump and re-elect him. Then vote out every Anti American running for office in your state. Especially these communist Mayors and Govenors that are useing this virus scare as a totalitarian wet dream.

In Philly right now you can break into houses and not get arrested. Ours Govenor is shutting down everything and trying to push a state side curfew on us when there are less than 100 infections in the whole state.

The virus is a non issue. They are using it as a distraction to destroy all the local economy and small business. Everybody sees through it.

Funny thing is the people on the psudo liberals and neocons think this will turn people against Trump and its having an opposite effect. Trump more popular here than ever. This in a battleground state the left is desperate for. My favorite part is people finally calling the democratic party straight up anti American communists.

We can bring back the economy and jobs fast with Trump. Anyone else....America is over.

I agree there is a lot of waste out there but thats up to the consumer. I dont get to pick and choose what you should spend your money on. If you want people to do or buy better things.... create a product and market it. Thats how our system works.

without competition there is no advancement. Thats how America did so much in so little time.

According to David Icke, the 1% folks....the one that are in the top of the pyramid are going to kill small business, it`s all planned and the economic consequence from COVID-19 is far greater than the health outcome.

a reply to: MotherMayEye

Completely understandable.

I think that WE, as a people, as a family member, as a friend, even a neighbor need to honestly reevaluate EVERYTHING.

This perceived "hiccup" in our socioeconomic reality as we understand it is about to go 180° on us.

This mania has a lot of us thinking its every person for themselves as if we weren't divided enough, here's another notch..god help us..

They want to stimulate us??? Okay.

Let's do this.

WE HAVE TO DO IT TOGETHER.

Separate payouts are completely ineffective and only support surviving...

Collectively however, we have opportunities.

There are 209,128,094 adults in this nation currently.

209,128,094 x $1,000 = $209,128,094,000

That's A LOT of opportunity.

To the government, that's merely peanuts..and its returned in short order back to them because they rely on the division they've created.

The people could, together, be a force to be reckoned with, but I think the damage has been done unfortunately.

People wont even give up cell phone while driving so I dont see this notion of doing better for the community will fly. Most people dont even care about their own kids or parents anymore.

I think we should adopt Trumps methods and put tarriffs on things at the state level for big business. a lot of these big corperations are anti american and anti small business.

What will probably happen though is all these small businesses will go under and then these big business monopolies will go and automate everything along with bringing in the cashless society. They already have us adapted to self checkout.

The future looks like it will be that of extremes.... one choice is to go full in NWO. The other is to leave society and live in the wilderness. Theres going to be very little inbetween. Any small business will be black market.

a reply to: Kenzo

thats always been the plan along with cashless society, RFID chips or skin tagging, social credit score etc. etc.

This was all supposed to be done through trade deals....then climate chage .....but Trump put an end to that so we get this pandemic nonsense. If this doesnt work we are probably looking at a faked Asteroid hit or simulated alien invasion.

As for the normal person.... you have been trained to live through your devices...virtual reality. Guess who controls your virtual reality? In the end they control what you percieve as reality. They can make you beieve that a virus is killing all these people and its necessary to shut down the world. You are required to be a prisoner inside your own home and watch your neighbors incase they break curfew.

The President, much like the others, are given the hand they're dealt and told how to play it. Sure, they can have their little policies and etc., but the IMPORTANT stuff is above their pay grade.

Its utter folly to put your hopes and dreams for your LIFE no doubt, in the hands of someone who will only effect your life and mentality for up to 8 years.

No President EVER has been a savior.

They are merely managers.

If you think this is one of the better ones, I agree.

However, thinking or resting my future or the direction of this country in whomever is in office, is crazy.

Are we so blinded to the last 100+ years or more??

America has seen 5 years of actual peace since its inception, the rest...WAR.

Do you really want get things back to "normal"?

🤷🏽‍♂️

a reply to: EternalShadow

going to war may end up being the only thing to get us out of this. I dont think any of us have much of a future if trump is not successful.

I have said from the beginning that if People dont go to jail everything he has done will be reversed. He has done this to himself trying to play nice. These people will never stop until everyone is on welfare. Once that is achieved they will take the welfare away.

You can always tell when society is going to end when the elites loot the country and bug out.... exactly what we have been seeing. Its like the Nazi party all over again. Trump got in at the last second to try and turn it around but he is just not strong enough. We needed him after Regan. We were sold out badly by the last four presidents.

Now we get to witness the rise of both Fascism and Communism in America at the same time.
Your average traditional American family is caught in the middle with nowhere to go. Government says here is a check (crumbs) for you while we take over all the resources and do big corporations bidding. Fascism for them.... communism for us. Nice system LOL.

Meanwhile Trumps hands are tied because he refuses to do what need to be done.

a reply to: agenda51

And there you go, like I said, none of them have ever been a "savior".

The effort the middle class put into averting their demise, as best they could, with wonderful ideas and original business models, couldn't change nor stop the steam roller policies of the central banks.

GENERATIONS of hopes and dreams shattered by the money managers.

MILLIONS dead.

Horrendous.

Of course not.

Deluding oneself?

That's a personal decision.
