It won't happen then either. It'll probably end up being virtual.
Oh the small business loans are gonna run out within a week.
From what I've heard from a partner at a tax form, everyone's getting them and the loan will be gone stupid fast.
It's a cluster fuck

The "absurd way they handle retirement budgeting" was foisted upon them by a Republican Congress, and the Republicans have wanted to privatize USPS for 30 years. They don't care about those constituents.
Whew if Small businesses can't get the loans they need and if it ends up being a clusterfuck and if they really think those 1 times checks will do anything long term for the people of America whew.
Trump was not prepared for this at all. And all that bs talking he does will be on full display when nothing works as advertised. People are going to be hurting.

The small business stuff just isn't going to be enough. This crisis will for sure last two months at least. The loan with forgiveness can go up to 2.5x payroll. You can pay utilities with it but after two months of payroll that means .5x payroll for all other utilities with possibly zero revenue coming in.
For our business rent alone for two months is 2.5x payroll.
The loans and forgiveness honestly needs to be like 6 or 7x payroll to work.

I'm surprised one of these recent bills hasn't altered that. I wonder if they can do it in Bill 4 re:infrastructure.
So I keep seeing governor's say us gov is outbidding them on supplies.
But I never see much of anything about the us gov giving out supplies in large numbers.
This admin is just making this situation worse

We need a nation wide freeze on rent, utilities, phone/ internet, loans. With no interest. for everyone.
In Addition to the money reach week for food/gas
I'm assuming Trump will hold his convention in a Fox News studio.
They say they do, but when faced with the ramifications of post office closures and delivery reduction; they change their minds. Nothing gets old people and rural voters mad like when they don't get their Saturday mail or are inconvenience because it's not cost effective to apply the same level of service in every location of America.
They've said they are almost out of supplies to distribute. Honestly we are at a point where all supplies stocked up are about exhausted and states/cities/governments will start fighting over the limited output coming from manufacturing and limited imports.
Biden's public statements since becoming the presumptive nominee, both before and after have made me extremely concerned about his electability. He fumbles his words a lot, he hasn't had much of a presence compared to Bernie Sanders during this crisis, and there is also the allegation that he raped someone.
Cuomo brought August into his daily presser for the first time, today. Wisconsin's projected apex comes after New York's. I have doubts the convention will happen in person.
I'm amazed more attention hasn't been paid to the Paycheck Protection Program, although that's partially because everyone was still wrapping their heads around it. Maybe it'll show up in the news more next week but this thing is honestly the single best, most generous part of the whole damn stimulus bill. I just finished rounding up everything needed for my company, and its literally a loan that covers 100% of payroll up to 100k per employee for 2.5 months, as a loan that's forgiven if its shown that it all went towards payroll or rent. Its ridiculously generous compared to even the other small business programs, and its going to absolutely save us from needing to furlough or lay people off
Other small businesses need to get on this thing ASAP

See my post above. It's not going to save a business with zero revenue and higher rent and utilities. It's a pass through that helps employees but doesn't do much for the actual business itself.
Could you elaborate? Though WI will have a later peak, both states will have reached the peak (of this wave, at least) well before August. Did he give August as the month that the virus will finally be under control (i.e., few to no deaths), barring a resurgence?
I suppose our ratio of payroll to other expenses is higher than a lot of more service based companies
Even if we're down to few deaths, I doubt anyone will allow for conference events with 1k+ attendees for a while.
We'd be past peak but a gathering of 50,000 people just is not happening until we get a vaccine.
Our rent alone for two months would be about 2.5x payroll and we get in zero revenue. Plus we had no stockpile of money sitting around.
I know! I'm asking him how Cuomo's press conference is relevant to the convention because he mentioned both in his post, and why Cuomo talked about August specifically. Cuomo might not even have talked about the convention. I don't know because I'm not watching the television.
Clyburn chairing, GOP pissed off as if the Benghazi select committee never happened
Bernie's fireside chats are getting a lot more people watching them, Biden's numbers of passionate supporters are a lot lower. His streams have far fewer people watching.
I've come to terms that we'll be doing some form of social distancing until a Vaccine is made hopefully a year from now. Maybe this summer there is a break but I expect roaming infections.
Cuomo said the New York apex may happen anywhere from 7 to 30 days from now, though he thinks it will be earlier rather than later. Looking at the models, he believes the apex will drop quickly from its high, followed by a much lower but sustained period of cases (presumably still with deaths) from June possibly extending into August. He didn't get specific with numbers for that time period, or go beyond August or mention anything about 2nd-wave type stuff.
So the stream when he finally drops out should get bonkers viewership.
Yeah. I work for a major public institution, we are making plans to keep our vulnerable faculty at home until a vaccine. By July/August, (hopefully) some of us will return to work on-site, but others...it just won't be safe for them until they can be vaccinated.
Can I ask what industry you're in? We're in wholesale and ecommerce effectively, so we've definitely taken a major hit (March revenue was down almost 40% and payroll is our highest expense after COGS, without the PPP we'd be out of cash in a handful of weeks) but I suppose we didn't take a 95% revenue hit
Entertainment. Unfortunately we literally rely on groups of people coming in together. Our business is done, my boss said as much in a call last week.
