You're being intentionally obtuse, and looking to pick a fight where there isn't one. I'm not saying don't help the airlines.old salt wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:57 pmPB --- you can bring back or start up an airline, just as if it were a restaurant.a fan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 11:10 amRight. So if you're a small business, and have no assets, as is the case with most restaurants.....how do you get that loan?
You can't get it. Know how I know this? I have restaurant owner friends------big ones-----who have applied. And even if you can somehow get the money, now you're in massive debt when you were just fine a few weeks ago.
And you're going to open your business in the worst recession we have ever seen.
Sense the problem now?
It's not like we need air transportation anyway.
You're making this so complicated.
I'm saying it's ridiculous to help the airlines with a line item bailout, while at the same time, NOT help restaurants in any meaningful way. I've been advocating this entire time to help EVERYONE.
Both you and PB agree with this. Stop acting like you don't.
