Wow you’re a huge POS. Small business employee millions of Americans. They took a risk and opened a business and this government shutdown of the economy isn’t on them. Businesses across the board operate on razor thin margins. You sound like a child.

but how long is said period? 1 month, 3 months, 6 months? Because as soon as that period is over they’ll just fire said employees to cut cost

What an insanely stupid and ignorant thing to say. Sorry most people don't take a global shut down into account very often

Why would I fire my employees? Their work is a large part of the income stream of the company.

What’s the difference between giving individuals a check and giving small businesses money that if used to pay employees is forgiven?

Seems to me the end result is the same, the employee gets paid.

for some, what about cruise lines and other business/economy sectors that aren’t coming back immediately in the next 6 months?

Wow, you are an idiot. Obviously never owned a business and have very little knowledge of how things work.

They’re getting an incentive not to fire. Why look a gift horse in the mouth.

I’m some. It doesn’t matter what I bring in if I don’t have boots on the ground to do the work. I tend to look at it from my perspective.

I hope you flip burgers or pump gas for a living because you clearly don't know a goddamn thing about running a business.

I own my own business with zero debt and a pile of money in the bank. borrowing money is not a requirement for running a business

what?

my point is: some, a lot of businesses will not get back to profiting/earning enough in the next 4 months to keep their current staff they are being told to keep paying. So when that 4 months runs out, we will see an increase in unemployment. I’m not saying this isn’t a necessary evil, I’m just pointing out a likely result.
