I would tend to look at credit issues being perhaps a larger problem. If you are a restaurant or used car lot that is running 30-60 days late or more paying creditors because your business cratered then you will have issues in terms of acquiring the necessary goods to make your business operate.

Pretty sure all of NYS is struggling between the lock down and riots. Cuomo may have come to the realization that tax dollars are needed for the budget as people move out, and Trump seems disinclined to acquiesce to the request for riot-restoration-dollars.

More than an excuse. They wanted many more dependents on a welfare state to maintain their power. As to Buffalo Gal's statement concerning bankruptcies some businesses have to go that route as the debts most likely outstrip the assets. Income taxes to the Feds and state in a liquidation get paid before the creditors so that is most likely 30 percent less cash to pay debt. Being in bankruptcy reduces leverage in obtaining optimal value in selling assets. A business could be sitting in a good equity position prior to a bankruptcy but get caught in a bad position at the wrong time can wipe it pretty much out. I've seen it happen to car dealers and other business people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Navarro and Mnuchin say DOJ cleared Trump executive actions as Democrats mull legal challenge by Mica Soellner Original Article White House trade adviser Peter Navarro is sure President Trump's recent executive actions on coronavirus relief will pass any legal challenge against them. "I’m confident that every single one of those orders, which cleared through the Office of Legal Counsel, will stand up," Navarro said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. Over the weekend, Trump signed an executive order and memorandums regarding economic relief for those who have faced job losses and financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump's move came after Congress failed to reach a deal to pass a second relief package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can practically hear the Democrats cheering this on. In NY and CA alone, the number of small businesses closing permanently is devastating.

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Pinterest pays $89.5 million to terminate San Francisco office lease </snip> "As we analyze how our workplace will change in a post-COVID world, we are specifically rethinking where future employees could be based," Pinterest Chief Financial Officer Todd Morgenfeld said in a statement Friday. "A more distributed workforce will give us the opportunity to hire people from a wider range of backgrounds and experiences." </snip> Pinterest's change of plans is just the latest indicator that the Bay Area's business districts may look very different for years to come. Facebook, Apple and Twitter have indicated work-from-home may extend far into the future, with much of their work force potentially staying remote even after the coronavirus pandemic ends. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told employees they will be able to work remotely permanently, if they so desire. The change in working life may also trigger a change in Bay Area demographics. In an anonymous survey of 4,400 tech workers, two-thirds of respondents said they would consider leaving the region permanently if allowed to work from home. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most sea change is incremental Covid has abruptly changed the game. Downtown office space is going to become dirt cheap while restaurants and auxiliary businesses will have to figure out how to survive with fewer clientele. There's going to be a lot of hurt going on while businesses have to shift practices or locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
