The slides by themselves do not speak a compelling narrative to me, so I think I’m missing something fundamental or not understanding.
Small businesses (all, businesses) will suffer quite badly, but if your company cannot continue operating because its shut/slowed down for 2 weeks then it’s likely that your business was running on a knifes edge and /any/ shock would have killed it.
Arguing that many people have done this is not just cause to bail them out (speaking from a purely logical non-empathetic position)
EDIT: ok. Our entire economy is built with no buffers in place and people here seem to have no issue with that. From a personal finance perspective I ensure that I live beneath my means and have capacity for a couple of months lost revenue. (Shit happens) and I’m not “well paid”.
