Hey, @BridgetPhetasy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
By the way, in Tom Arnold’s fantasy civil war, which side do you think has the advantage? The guy who is going to “borrow his dad’s hunting rifle” or the ones who have a bunch and know how to use them? Dude, seriously.
“Tom Arnold and Rob Reiner in...Civil War, 2020!”
Twitter really is no fun anymore. You can’t even poke fun at Tom’s insanity without people freaking out.

I know times are tough, but take a breath- not everything requires a serious take or reply.
If you can’t see the insanity/humor in any 61-year-old dude, let alone this particular one, threatening violence and insurrection with his dad’s hunting rifle, that’s on you.

As one of the folks who shined a light on Harvard getting CARES Act emergency relief $$, it was NOT from the PPP pool, it was a separate part of CARES pool.

Harvard all the other unis should pay it back. And Congress should be shamed, as should the journalists misreporting this
CARES was meant as emergency relief $. Small biz received-via PPP- less than 20% of the $2 trillion, but small biz makes up HALF the economy.

Any entity- university or otherwise- that was not put in an emergency situation by the govt shutting them down should return the damn $
As a reminder, these were the tweets that started this whole thing on the 17th--

Let me run through this shoddy “CARES Act” math & strategy again (which should be called Congress really doesn't care about small biz)...

Small biz is HALF the economy- half the revenues, half the employees- in more than 30 million entities...
Despite being forced to shut down in many cases, they received less than 20% of the “CARES” stimulus, which required a free-for-all at banks (which, not surprisingly, seem to have prioritized larger small biz customers w existing relationships)...
...leaving most small biz, particularly the smaller & more vulnerable, out in the cold, all while universities, including those w big endowments, got billions & govt cronies like the Kennedy Center millions without having to do squat.

This isn't emergency "CARE", it's a travesty

It is not immoral for anyone to have a lot of wealth that was created legally.

It is highly immoral for any individual or govt to decide they should confiscate that wealth to use it to fund their own preferred projects, items, desires...
Wealthy people don't swim in a big coin room like Scrooge McDuck.

That money is used to buy things which supports jobs/economy, to invest, which supports jobs/economy & for charity.

As the pie is not fixed in the US, the wealth was created & is not at someone else's expense.
The govt takes in more than $3 trillion at the federal level- that's more than enough $. Spending is the problem.

And if you didn't have people creating wealth and expanding the pie, there wouldn't be the ability to even spend at that level w/o more debt.
