Somewhere between $200 and $500 million in Minnesota alone.

I need a job in government so I can work a year and retire a multi-millionaire.

A few hundred million here, a few hundred million there... pretty soon you’re talking about some real money!

Just for general information, here is a website where you can search businesses for how much PPP they got. The numbers are staggering. My brother in law’s small business, which never closed, got almost $70000. The company where I worked before I retired, which had almost no real employees (they contracted everything; only employees were family members), got millions. They never even slowed down their business.

Gov Gavin Newsom stole $1.2 billion just on masks he said were to be made in China by a BUS company called BYD. They make other things but they were to make 200,000 masks a month. Not a one ever showed up and no account of the money was revealed.

I think this stolen money was Newsom’s buy in to run for president.
