Yep..because most small business are owned by Conservative types and the middle class.

That is what these lockdowns are designed to crush.. When are people going to realize that the left is trying to crush us on all fronts, yet Republicans are not standing up to protect our identity when they have the power.

And when small businesses go bankrupt guess who’s going to be there to buy their assets for a song.

“...intent cannot be separated from effect, and the lack of persuasive arguments justifying the targeting of small businesses by policymakers can be explained in simple terms: pandemic policy was an intentional effort by policymakers to facilitate an upward transfer of wealth to Big Business at the expense of small business.”

The element in US politics that long ago habituated itself to victimhood and servitude, wants everyone ELSE to struggle under the same stupid excuses for failure.

AS IF you get anywhere in life when you surrender yourself to a detached, greedy and unprincipled government

The left hates :people who are self reliant. People who are non-union. People who sweat and may get dirty working, People who probably don’t have university degrees.

This means small businesses. To start with.

Federal relief, or lack thereof, reinforces this claim. The CARES Act, the 2.2 trillion dollar federal stimulus bill passed in March, offers a lifeline to small businesses in the form of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a loan issued at a 1% interest rate. Yet the loan only covers roughly ten weeks of payroll expenses, and applications closed in early August. It is now early December, and further financial aid to small businesses has yet to be legislated. Moreover, while the CARES Act offers $349 billion in aid to small businesses, it provides upwards of $500 billion to large businesses, in effect rewarding the businesses already profiting off the pandemic, to the detriment of the small businesses suffering the most.

The EIDL loan from the SBA is being forgiven without any paperwork, that is a done deal. The PPP loan paperwork will be minimal and is forgivable 100% with the proper expenses. The SBA also gave out 1% 30yr fixed loans extremely easily. That being said I did not want to take out any loans whatsoever because the Gov shutting down is in fact a "taking" but to not take a 1% 30yr loan would be dumb because it could be used or not used in the future. I just wanted to clarify that a bit but the author is right that all of that relief is gone and now we are entering a new "dark winter" of extended and fascist shutdowns, forced vaccinations, shutting of small businesses and a feeble man "running" this country with a broken foot and broken hip to come.

This destruction of small business is quite intentional and all part of the U.N./World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset.” Covid lockdowns are an excuse for this massive economic destruction. If all goes according to their plan, the world will have two categories of people - oligarchs and serfs (slaves, really.) If you don’t know about this already, please research it and enlighten others!!! For starters, you can go to the World Economic Forum website.

I see America as essentially a Middle Class society.

We aren’t supposed to have a permanent upper-class of nobility.
We aren’t supposed to have a permanent lower-class of peasants.

We have social mobility and a lot of that is enabled by small business. Independent people who stand on their own two feet and build a life for themselves.

The Left definitely wants to destroy that. Lords and Peasants is their view of the proper world, and they are quite sure that they are all Lords.

“And when small businesses go bankrupt guess who’s going to be there to buy their assets for a song.”

Like they bought up closed manufacturing assets cheap, even entire plants.

That’s China, of course.

And that is exactly what’s happening. Whats really happening is the lockdowns began the deliberate planned destruction of ownership, now with more lockdowns they will complete the task. one of the many great reset programs begins. Yellan has stated the inequality and the unjust economy will now be corrected. Low interest small business loans and grants will be given out to blacks, minorities, transgender, gay and lesbians and women (of color, white men and whites in general need not apply) to fill the void of legitimate small businesses that were deliberately killed by government.

The entire COVID-19 scam is all about the transfer of power to the big business communists and the destruction of small businesses.
