- What do ppp loans have to do with this? -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 19:02
- I mean, as a business, do I think they should be entitled to the PPP & also forgiveness? 100%. - Beryllium Aug 26, 17:50 9
  - You’d think a web-based magazine would be the type of business with no need of a PPP loan though -- nm - Roger More Aug 26, 18:58 8
    - Why? -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 19:02 7
      - It’s subscription based so you’d generally expect revenues not to take a drastic hit and they can maintain their business model without a big physical - Roger More Aug 26, 19:06 6

        next one, because mafic won't let his goats drive a Bentley -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 17:24 2
        
        because if you feed it after dark, it becomes a typical Australian marsupial -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 17:30 1
        
        too slow, I got beat on that one -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 17:30

  - From wiki: "... the Florida Office of Inspector General found her claims to be unsubstantiated or unfounded, and... - Ender Aug 26, 17:37 4
    - They found insufficient evidence because they wouldn't look at her documents on DeSantis' request. They didn't inspect her claim that he hid deaths. -- nm - David Aug 26, 17:42 3
      - Got a link for that? Because that is not what her Wikipedia page says. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 18:48 1
        
        You shouldn't trust Wikipedia posts about her because DeSantis is smearing her. - David Aug 26, 19:20
      - you can't charge him with obstruction if there was no crime to obstruct, and no evidence to any crime was found, due to obstruction. -- nm - w. barr Aug 26, 18:19

    - It means there’s absolutely no chance Gaetz loses his seat. -- nm - MDH Aug 26, 17:09
    - 66-32 Trump in 2020. -- nm - Tim Aug 26, 17:09 4
      - But Dems are trending up to 10 pts better than expected. So Gaetz only wins 56-42. Moral victory! -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 17:20 3
        
        You're confusing "better than expected" and "better than 2020". -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 17:34 2
        
        to be honest, its Florida, I expect nothing -- nm - crash davis Aug 26, 17:35 1
        
        And you shall have it in abundance! -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 18:40
