Another fact check of this tweet.

This fact check concludes that not only is this tweet TRUE but every tweet in the entire thread is ALSO TRUE

truthorfiction.com/is-amazon-seek…
This fact check also uncovered that Amazon's claim that they are required by the Emergency Assistance Foundation to accept donations from the public was FALSE
In other words, Amazon has been lying to journalists to convince them not to write about this story.

This is a stunning story. WTF is going on?

"Although President Trump has directed states and hospitals to secure what supplies they can, the federal government is quietly seizing orders, leaving medical providers across the country in the dark"

What's needed in a time of crisis is TRANSPARENCY.

Instead, Trump is firing Inspectors General across the government.

It's up to us to hold them accountable.

1. In this thread I'm going to talk about the problems with the Paycheck Protection Program (forgivable loans to small businesses)

The Trump administration launched the $350 billion program on Friday and the rollout has been a cluster

2. First, 25% of all small businesses temporarily closed (as of April 3). More are on the brink.

$350 billion isn't enough.

So we are left with a Lord of the Flies situation, many thousands of businesses competing for limited resources.

3. The Small Business Administration is badly underresourced and so it can't directly administer the loans.

So it routes the loans through banks.

But many banks are giving preference to their existing loan customers. Banks are effectively using taxpayer dollars as a perk.

Hi @ATT

On March 18 your CEO said publicly the company won’t cut off anyone’s cell phone for non-payment during the pandemic

But I’m hearing from people who have had their ATT wireless disconnected this week

They’ve tried to call but can’t get through to anyone

What gives?
BTW, if you are an ATT customer and have had your service terminated recently for non-payment, please contact me

DMs open, email in bio
UPDATE: I DM’d them. Will let you know what I hear back.
