500 isn't small. Part of my issue. But I think the point is that there are winners and losers. Even in category. This shows that construction business is a winner.
Then your issue is not with PDJT. Have you ever tried to get a small business loan from government?
I have. On the books, a small business loan means 30 employees or more. There is no money for citizens. The only loans of that type go to foreigners. That's why they own 7-11's, motels, etc. Oh, they also get zero zoning laws, so can open a closet if they choose. They don't need handicap accessibility. They don't need 12 sinks in their restaurants. They only need one bathroom and some don't even have that.
These are facts. Look them up. Call and ask about a loan. Oh, in addition to those foreign loans, they also get gov. money to live on for a year while they develop those businesses and the loan charges 1% interest.
They have opened franchises right across the street from legitimate franchisees, putting them out of business. That's on congress passing that crap sandwich and presidents who sign on the dotted line.
