The Plaza Theatre in Atlanta has been around since 1939. Christopher Escobar, its current owner, has been operating it for about a decade. When the coronavirus ravaged small businesses, Escobar made the tough decision to close his theater for now, seek online sources of revenue, and apply for aid from foundations and the government. The Plaza has now been shut down for more than a month, but Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp recently passed an order allowing small businesses to open back up.
Kemp’s hearing from people who are saying, “I was told by the federal government that, if I lose my job because I’m an independent contractor or a freelancer, I’d be taken care of.” That’s not been the case, and they’re rightly furious. And small-business owners who’ve been told, I told my staff, before they went on unemployment, that I wanted them to start drawing from the paid time off. And for some of them, even though they didn’t come into work for three weeks, their paychecks didn’t change.
Doesn't matter. Thanks to realDonaldTrump, this time next week we'll all be dead. TrumpLiesPeopleDie
