This is never a good sign. Not any time nor any place. It is even more dreaded around the Holiday Season. Its a sign we may see more than ever in our communities due to the effects of the Corona Virus.
Imagine that you are a small business owner. I’m talking about a “real” small business, not the government defined (500 employees or less) small business. I’m not talking about the franchises who qualify as small business. I’m talking about the mom and pops, the family owned, the community based, the corner store, the specialty shops. Those who employ fewer than 25 people.
Yea, imagine being told that you have to operate at less than 25% capacity. Imagine not being able to operate your core business. Now imagine not earning revenue, turning a profit. Not able to pay employees and therefore losing employees as well as customers. All this with bills to pay and family to support.
Many small business owners face this situation everyday during the COVID pandemic. Over 100,000 closed this past year alone, which leads to today’s Christmas gift. I WANT TO PUT “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” signs “OUT OF BUSINESS”.
CAN CONGRESS PLEASE PASS A STIMULUS PACKAGE THAT EMPHASIZES SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF? THE ECONOMY IS COUNTING ON YOU! AMERICA IS COUNTING ON YOU! THE PEOPLE ARE COUNTING ON YOU! ‘Tis the Season…….
