LMAO! I guess they will get a bail out!

[NWFree]

I never spent a cent on a mask.

[ConservativeMind]

Now, sellers like Henriquez, who spent the past year investing more than $150,000 in her mask business, are trying to figure out how to successfully pivot.

Shift the mask to the butthole, filtering out smells everyone would normally have to breathe.

Now that the beaches are opening, turn them into bikinis!!!!!

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Cut velvet! Cut velvet!

[Seruzawa]

Wait. I’m supposed to feel sorry for her?

No chance.

[wgmalabama]

Easy peasy. Apply for a PPP loan or (if it was an above board business with rates and all) lay yourself off and get unemployment.

turn them into bra’s

[Seruzawa]

In her case that's very disturbing. Need antidote:

“Henriquez ... spent the past year investing more than $150,000 in her mask business”

Woke dork. Learn to code.

[TomServo]

Where do we go from here?

Learn to code.

[cyclotic]

Well, I’d hope they were smart enough to know it was a short term opportunity and not carry much inventory

[dynachrome]

“investing more than $150,000 in her mask business”

Did she ‘invest’ or get a SBA loan and the taxpayers are stuck with the bill?

[ptsal]

Make a quilt.

or make a wall hanging for the holidays

or may a table runner for the holidays

or ingest several and save the rest of humanity....

I used [utterly worthless as a mask but got me in the door] black stretch lace hairbands that I might now use as black stretch lace hairbands.

Imagine the horror stores we’d be hearing if Buggy Whip makers were selling on Etsy in 1900...

[ConservativeInPA]

How about selling F*&K Xiden T-shirts?

[Veggie Todd]

Really? You had no idea it was going to be temporary? Wow, what a maroon.
