Just read a good piece written by
@KateRogers and @springbetsy about the nightmare #SmallBusiness
Is having amidst #COVID19. They touched on the subject but there's so much more. The TLDR is if you're able to support a small business in these times, do it. Full stop.

As a small business owner myself, the amount of community building and mutual aid that's going on in my industry is astounding. I hear from others similar things.
The work orgs like @GS10KSmallBiz and similar are doing is fantastic. It's going to take more than federal loans

to keep small business going though this. Some biz can't operate at all. Most are severely impacted. It will take all of us, including the gov., acting together if we want to see small biz on the other side. Many now notice not being able to get a haircut in the US,

While inconvienient, most industries critically rely on small business for their operation. I focus on the technical & infosec risks in the supply chain professionally. About 94% of employers are small biz. In the US. these orgs truly underpin the national economy.

We may not be able to quickly come up with a cure for #COVID19 but this is something we can all do something about. Take the time to support small biz! Thanks to @CNBC for giving #SmallBusiness a moment of needed national attention. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/03/30/small-businesses-make-tough-calls-while-waiting-on-government-loans.html
