We've come to a screeching halt in business, how do that?

Developed quickly not only for us but for the government.

Now the show me state working to businesses hurting with a program aimed joblessness.

Government's way of wanting to keep those people employed.its called the paycheck protection plan, it's a loan business owners can sign up for through their bank to receive funds to cover payroll while their employees aren't able to work.

The loan is also available for gig economy workers and those who are self employed.

Those eligible would recieve up to two and a half times their average monthly payroll based on last year's tax info.

It keeps them connected to that business in the long run and so hopefully when we're on the other side of this they can immediately go right back to work and pick things up.

I think it's important to grab those funds and use so we can be beefed up and ready to go as soon as they say we can get back to business.
