Bail out?Like so many things with big corporations and politics the "bail out" is a financial tactic with strings attached that are not necessarily aimed at helping the consumer.
There needs to be more said and provided for the small businesses that are not going to survive. So far lip service to making the wage earner whole through this crisis. Think of all the small business in the town squares and surrounding areas serving TV. Many are at zero revenue or less than half their normal revenue. Their rents, utilities, etc, will tank many of them.
They truly need a bail out. This is an area where TV commercial properties can "lend" a hand....with deferring rents etc.
Talking with some of the tenants of the squares.....nothing of any consequence from commercial properties.
The small businesses account for half the employment. This is where the bail out should be more aggressive.
Let's hope our favorite, shops, restaurants, salons, etc......find meaningful assistance to assure they survive.
My 2 cents on bail outs.
