This is not rich people taking loans. This is legit businesses taking loans to pay their workers during COVID. Y’all act like the people themselves pocketed the money. The money went to their employees to cover payroll during lockdowns.
"75% of $800 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) didn't reach workers. "
i guess i gotta keep reposting the same thing. Most of the money did not reach employees. yall just trying to reword the same bullshyt.
this struggling business owner needed your tax dollars for payroll.
yall really worship celebrities. they, and other rich people took YOUR tax dollars and yall making excuses for them. i've seen it all. bubba scotch

Soooooooooo 200 billi was spent the right way and the op only lists about 20 milli worth of loans
.
gross
the point is people are cool with RICH people not paying loans, but the same people have this wild anger towards the average person having their little student loans forgiven. And it's not even about the number with student loans, it's straight up anger and pettiness.
keep that same energy for this guy taking YOUR tax dollars:
I don't have a wild anger towards student loan forgiveness. It is fukked up that one of the paths for social mobility involves a lot of debt. It should be free of charge.
That being said, by focusing on student loans, can I take that as you accepting that the the proper use of the loan is not comparable to fraudulent use of the loan?

You don’t know that those companies didn’t pay their workers. If they didn’t, they would have been exposed.
Business owners don’t pay employees or business expenses with their own money. They use business revenue, and loans. When you use your own money, you can go bankrupt. And being worth $100 million doesn’t mean you have $100 dollars in your bank account.
You can really tell who does and doesn’t know about business and finance in this thread.

They expect them to pay their employees out of pocket
. They was getting ready to fire the whole staff if they didnt get the ppp loanFoh bootlicker. The point was not to just give every person that owns a business a handout. It was to help struggling businesses pay employees who had a risk of not being able to operate. A good percentage of these loans did no such thing.
Tom Brady will make $15 million dollars this year. The NFL did not stop for covid, he had the liquid assets via game checks to pay his debts. Explain to me why this man needed his loans forgiven? he was struggling?

He can’t grasp the concept that business owners don’t pay employees, rent, utilities, supplies out of their own bank accounts. They use the company money, and loans.
He also doesn’t get that these people aren’t going to work in offices or factories everyday. They have people running their businesses.
The Coli is full of blue collar workers.
