Direct donations and tangible results. Meanwhile, the elitists running DC are sending $700,000,000 to Sudan in a “Covid Relief Bill” for some reason and Democrats and RINOs are applauding it.

    It’s as if people are fine giving away their money when it goes directly where they want it to go. Greedy capitalists.

    Fund is nearing $20M, all in direct donations with no overhead. Kid Rock just threw in $100K.

    This all makes everybody feel warm and fuzzy - but it doesn't do shit. $13 Million is a drop in the buck compared to the daily GDP of US small businesses.

    Until the sheeple quit acting like sheeple and open back up en masse, this is a hopeless strategy. The velocity of money needs to quicken - one offs to pay Joe Barowner's power bill only prolongs the inevitable.

    I get that, but these are businesses that are in New York and the surrounding area and can’t open because they will be fined and arrested.

    It’s better than $600 fucking dollars that does nothing of substance as $700,000,000 is being sent to Sudan.

    The second video I posted is of a fruit distribution company that works solely with restaurants. The restaurants are closed and owners are fined for opening, so who do they sell their fruits to now?

    That's kind of the point I'm making.

    The sheeple stay in the sheeple fetal position, they'll take more sheeple down with them.

    $20M now but the Libs at the SF Chronicle would rather these people close than accept help from Barstool. Now if they do, they are a target of Leftist thugs.

    You guys are fighting a losing battle. To the left small business owners are the low hanging fruit of evil rich people

    (Rich meaning anything more than I have )

    So they put in regulations, etc that the big companies agree is a reasonable cost but absolutely destroys small businesses.

    Then the big companies beef up the hr department to make sure they are good to go

    By the time it starts going south the big execs dip with their payload.
