This will be devastating. I am floored by what is proposed and it sounds like Mitch is saying he will support it. I hope the legislature follows with something to ameliorate the effects of this.

It possibly could, but all anyone can do is speculate. It's new ground being plowed.

This isn't quite my area of "expertise" so I'm a bit unequipped to spitball alternative options to address what's clearly a financial crisis, I guess an unprecedented one. So I yield. What do you believe would be the better approach(es)?

Anyone got any new insight to this bill?

I’m having a hard time processing it.

I guess I’ll go right to my situation. I’m a new business owner of a franchise cleaning service.

With overhead and payroll, after 14 months I was finally breaking even two weeks ago then this pandemic came down.

There’s no way the government can expect me to pay this time off when my weekly revenue has been reduced by 60-70% because of Covid-19, right?

How do we fight this?

It sucks big time.

How they even came up with a screw ball idea is more proof they are absolute IDIOTS.

If you call and get to talk to one of their people they start talking about the tax credits to pay you back. They have no friggin understanding that losing employees for 12 weeks HURT the business. I suspect most business have at least 50% of the employees that will qualify for the "Pay to stay home" part of this bill.
