It would be more fun if I wasn't one of those "small business" - and currently staring down bankruptcy....

Even so...I don't want "other people money" - except if they buy my product...

RE :”It would be more fun if I wasn't one of those “small business” - and currently staring down bankruptcy....

I understand and the whole future of this country IS very depressing. You are in the crosshairs of these liberals who want us unemployed begging for crumbs. Unfortunately republicans are not much better, we can only hope that 'good will come from the bad', that democrats win and power grab will ultimately result in a revival of capitalism and economic freedom and rejection of Wasjhington power.

It is best to try to see a silver lining, if you can, I wish you the best of luck, I see small businesses as national hero's.

Small Business owner here too, and I wish we could do something to help you. We are slowly sinking, but I guess swimming is better than floating... Prayers to you and yours.

I'm sorry about what you're dealing with - it's so hard out there. Where I live small retailers are putting flyer's in with your purchase. They say:

"Save your local economy - three stores at a time. Think about which three independently owned business you'd miss most if they were gone. Stop in and say hello. Pick up a little something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around. If just half the employed US population spent $50 each month in an independently owned business, their purchases would generate more than 42.6 billion...

The flyer goes on to ask all of us to pick out three stores and spend $50 a month between them.
