  • for starters people around here tend to misinterpret what you’re saying accidentally or willfully, far more than my experience with reddit previously.

    Honestly, this is what has driven me away. No matter how innocuous something I say is, there are a bunch of “well, askshewly” asshats to argue an irrelevant part of your statement, or start the “whataboutism” shit. It’s exhausting, and frankly, takes all the fun out of it.

    That and the bots reposting reddit shit. I may as well go back to reddit. Plus Narwhal is still working…









  • It’s maddening that there was so much fraud, while legitimate businesses often got very little or no help at all. There were SO many hoops to jump through for PPP/EIDL I really don’t understand how all these “companies” were able to get money. They wanted payroll reports, tax filings, licenses that are easily verifiable online. Ffs the first round of PPP we couldn’t get anything because first the banks had “exhausted all their funds” on all their “whale” clients. In our case our bank was out of funds before the application was even online to apply with. Or if you had a certain business structure (totally legit, mind you) they didn’t have a backup plan for 1 form they required. The see so many consumers so angry about PPP loans being forgiven, but I feel like most of those people don’t realize the actual small businesses typically got screwed both ways. As a small business and as a consumer.
