Your premise is flawed because the free market was corrupted by government-ordered shutdowns. PPP is compensation for that. You can't maintain entire payrolls with quite literally next to no revenue without external cash infusions.
In case you weren't aware, PPP stands for Paycheck Protection Program and the monies disbursed by it are only to compensate for payroll expenses during the specified timeframe. Forgiveness also requires resubmission of payroll and other financial documents at time of forgiveness application to prove the PPP money was used for payroll and noone was fired without cause.
PPP does not and could not make up for a fundamentally flawed business model, all it did was compensate for paycheck expenses that could have been impacted by top-down forced shutdowns, particularly since small businesses by their nature usually can't handle wholly unexpected adversities well.
Your overt mischaracterization of PPP is one of many things that made me vote for Trump, by the way. Fake news sensationalism can die in a fire.
You people always have an excuse for why your handouts are valid but everyone else is a lazy pile of shit. Literally, every time you guys talk it’s, “laws for thee, but not for me!”
