any money you take, just remember you will have to pay it back. we cant work cause its not our choice, but then when we need money to make up for being ordered to stay home, that's just a loan

Amazon has better prices than locals, though. It's all about the PRICE.

Is it true the flu shot for seniors is 4 TIMES AS STRONG? Is it true the ventilators may actually collapse their lungs? Is it true the antiviral or other medication given in combination with other medication currently taken for diabetes, high blood pressure, etc., causes heart failure? IS IT TRUE??

Ok my fellow conservatives . Just don’t spew hate on our prime minister just Cos you hate the liberal party . He deserves credit for atleast giving us this 3 month rent relief . Yes he should have done it sooner but I completely do understand how overwhelming it must be for him to handle all of this with him himself under quarantine. Pls recognize good effort inspite of your political difference with the PM. And as a born 3rd generation conservative I can proudly say Trudeau has done an awesome job handling covid 10 in Canada . And thank you for Trudeau for the rent relief it will help small bussiness so much but pls make it simple not a complicated process . God bless Canada 🇨🇦

You guys complaining about jt have no idea what dt is doing here in the US. Only big businesses are receiving grants with tax money. The small businesses haven’t received any loans to even stay afloat. Commercial Landlords are starting the eviction/legal process. Absolutely absurd. JT knows rent is the most significant expense for retail businesses. PPP gave money to NBA companies, Publicly traded companies, even youtubers. If I had a hair salon during a pandemic you best believe I would shift gears to sell clippers to customers that need to groom themselves at home that never needed to before covid-19. Silly she’s complaining about a loan covering 75% of her expenses.
