In response to millionaire reporter Jake Tapper and billionaire software king Bill Gates agreeing that it is appropriate for the United States to go into another economic lockdown to try to combat COVID-19, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) criticized their eagerness to bankrupt small businesses.
He added that it would be appropriate in a lockdown to halt ALL salaries at CNN & Microsoft to see if they really support another lockdown.

On Monday morning, the first person in the United States received a dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Now images of Sandra Lindsay, a nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens, are going viral. But over the coming weeks and months, she’ll be far from the only person showing up in social media feeds getting inoculated.
At the dawn of the pandemic, celebrities and influencers flooded our feeds with content urging us to take preventive measures, like hand-washing, social distancing, and mask-wearing. That wasn’t a coincidence: Public health leaders and campaigns strategically encouraged and recruited those with large online followings to use their platforms for good.
The Paycheck Protection Program Had a Short Positive Impact, But PPP2 Needed: Biz2Credit
The
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), helicopter money disbursed by the federal government to aid businesses crushed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had a positive effect but the overall impact has been short-lived, according to research provided by
Biz2Credit.
The online lender states that the government lending programs restored sufficient capital for businesses to weather the effects of the pandemic briefly, but that many firms are currently operating at a monthly loss. PPP2 is needed, said the firm.
Under the
Cares Act, the PPP provided loans to businesses under duress. The money would be forgiven if employers maintained their payroll. The program, while not perfect, has been well received by the business community. But as the coronavirus lingers, and some state governments are enacting shutdowns, many people believe a second stimulus is needed to stop business closures.
