When I ask small business leaders that they say to stop paying people to stay home.

I said middle class. Small business was destroyed. The corporations got richer.

How does your neighborhood look? All businesses still intact?

Not talking about the stock market.



In my neighborhood several small businesses are still intact. The businesses that relied primarily on commuters are gone, but the staples catering to the people who live here are still intact. My favorite local bar, coffee shop, drycleaner, and bookstores are still going. I'm a bit sad about my pho place closing down, but they're a small chain, and they have another one a bit further away from me that I can still go to.
