One question


And I ask this with seriousness, not any cynicism at all, I promise. Do the government aid packages not deliver enough aid to your friends? No aid at all? Somewhere in between?

I agree, it's painful to see the life's work of so many just destroyed. I think we as a society are going to have a huge "Holy Schnieke" moment when vaccines are widespread and restrictions are limited, and people ... realize just what they lost. Favorite restaurants that had to close. Favorite stores that are shuttered. Nearby mom and pop shops where mom and pop lost it all.

This is going to have a generational affect, I think. I hope your friends and others similarly situated find a way through, or at the very least use what made them successful on the other side to rebuild if at all possible.

Season 12 of Shark Tank should feature ONLY people whose businesses were shuttered by the pandemic. That would be a cool way to help.
