It is also a loan, meaning it will need to be paid back at some point. The company has borrowed the money to allow it to keep going. That was, as you say, the whole point.

PPP loans are not trickle down economics. PPP loans are a vehicle to keep small businesses afloat because the fed/state governments shut them all down, literally causing their revenue stream to dry up to virtually nothing overnight. the loans dictate that the businesses need to actively use the money for their…

seriously? do you not think about things critically?

Probably most small business owners have a fairly high net worth—without it, it would be nearly impossible to live given that owning a business doesn’t exactly provide a regular source of income (or any really). You could maybe reasonably expect someone worth over a million dollars to keep staff on payroll during a…

for the record, I don’t like her and agree she’s too rich for her own good,

It’s not like other small businesses could’ve benefitted from such a generous loan or anything...

The part where you think “a few programmers” are enough to keep it running when they’re trying to serve thousands of customers in dozens of restaurants in cities across the country.

Well, there’s a few extra costs you left out:
Marketing (to get people to use them, or to use them over someone else)
Promotions (getting drivers and restaurants to sign up)
Attorneys (to make sure they can continue to misclassify their employees)
Liability policies (since normal auto policies don’t cover you when you’re…

HR and Tech support for both drivers and restaurants. 

I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t love Splash Mountain, but it’s hard not to miss how truly weird it was that they bothered to make a Song of the South themed ride at all. It’s not like the movie was a beloved property in the 80s and they were well aware that the movie’s racism was on its way to getting itself…

Agreed. While I love Splash Mountain exactly as it is, I’m very excited about the retheming. It’s taking a problem (having a ride themed around a racist property that nearly none of its visitors have ever seen and are unlikely to have the opportunity to ever see) and making it into a grand opportunity. It’ll be…

As I said in the comments of the AV Club article about this:

I look forward to another TPUSA twat complaining that Disney “cancelled Splash Mountain, oh what a tragedy for America,” but Disney has been rebranding almost all its rides to pimp its more recent IP (e.g., the submarine voyage becoming a Finding Nemo ride), so this really isn’t anything much.

Oh, I also was bored and fell into a wiki hole, so I know why they went with the weird racist theme for Splash Mountain: the guy who did the character design for Song of the South also did it for America Sings, an attraction in the former Carousel of progress that was shutting down around the time Splash Mountain was…

This was my favorite ride. And when I took my kids to Disney for the first time not too long ago, it was their fave, too. So happy they’re making this change—In another win, I’ll also note that the “Imagineer” leading the switchover is a black woman: Charita Carter—the change has been in the works for over a year.

Right? It started because there was a slate of trolls who were sending violent and pornographic images.

Yeah, these people are gross, but it very well could work out in the child’s favor. Being raised by these parents would probably not be in his best interest.

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

..do people just not take anime seriously if it isn’t violent or full of suspense?

Interesting observation: these are all really dark and heavy shows.
