Nearly six in 10 independent restaurant owners said they could survive no more than a month of a shutdown. With no open date in sight, we’re asking Congress to save our industry, so the 11 million workers we employ can get back to work. #SaveRestaurants https://t.co/kf8f5Q4Nob
According to a new survey from @beardfoundation, 4 out of 5 restaurant owners remain uncertain they can reopen once the pandemic passes. If it wasn’t clear before, it is certainly clear now: PPP DOES NOT WORK for independent restaurants. #SaveRestaurants https://t.co/JjoSpFX0A5

The White House said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn’t want those either.
Then they said they wanted to participate in the proceedings, and now they say they don’t.
All they really want is to hide the President’s serious misconduct.
It’s not working.
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your federal agencies own the majority of the forest land in CA. Our state only owns about 3%. So when you allege a "terrible job" you are actually referring to yourself. Also, the causes of the fires vary. Please educate yourself.
