    I don't know how or when this tab appeared, but tonight I read it. https://nu.federati.net/url/292543 [www businessinsider com]

    I've been saying for years that rental prices on retail space are unrealistic. And now I know why.

    1. The hidden culprit driving America’s apocalypse of boarded-up storefronts
      from Business Insider
      The pandemic kicked off a "doom loop" that has gutted cities and towns across the country. Big banks are making it worse.

    If the #Twitter saga teaches us anything, it is that "going public" with stock is not always the best choice.

    A person or group with lots of money can come along and take over, ejecting the prior leaders and employees and changing the company's purpose and direction. They can wreck everything you built.

    Sometimes, being a !smallbiz can hide you from corporate predators.

    Remembering that a friend worked at a restaurant in the 1990s. Their main dishwasher had been working there since the 1970s, and had been able to buy an apartment building. The manager and most of the employees rented apartments from this dishwasher.

    If people wonder why I, a business major, want wages to increase, this is why. Minimum wage in the 1970s was not a lot of money, but somehow, people could do a whole lot more with it then than they could/can with 1990s/2000s/2010s/current minimum wages.

    And, yes, it will be hard on many !smallbiz organizations to raise employee pay rates. But many others, such as fast food franchises, are solidly profitable (or else, people would not pay millions of dollars for the right to purchase and run a fast food restaurant according to the franchisor's rules)

    Three #Amazon employees who were publicly critical of the company’s treatment of employees during the #COVID-19 outbreak have been fired.

    Also, the #SBA expects the full !smallbiz support fund to be committed by Thursday (2020-04-16). Hopefully President #Trump and #Congress can get their acts together to add more to the pot.

    Thread on #Twitter about the quarantine’s impact on !smallbiz (and therefore, on their owners, managers, employees, suppliers, customers). A lot of people in the #Fediverse don’t seem to understand that when the restaurants close, those employees, who already struggle to stay afloat, are left with nothing.

      No small business has a fortress balance sheet. In practice most business owners don't live month-to-month, but they do live quarter-to-quarter. And, most are low-margin businesses with customer concentration. Most small businesses, and especially hospitality-based, are toast.

    President Trump and Congress working on another Paid Sick Leave bill for the #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV / #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus outbreak ... this one sounds like it may pass. But it doesn't require large companies (the ones with the most resources) to match the requirements it places on smaller and medium size businesses. (Tax credits for smaller businesses) ... I'd also prefer to see them just send small and medium sized businesses #SMBs a check (or send it directly to the affected employees) instead of putting even more complexity in the tax code.

    “This week, we will be offering Mahi-mahi!” Thus begins a marketing e-mail sent by the people that sell smoked salmon at the Farmers Market.

    I think it is very sad that someone is telling businesses that they have to send these messages to everyone that buys from them. I’ve enjoyed buying your smoked salmon, and would be open to purchasing other products, but this is not the way to build goodwill among customers.

    Every !smallbiz should be told, again and again, to make these sorts of communications OPT-IN (or “active subscribe”) only. It reflects negatively on Square that they facilitated this without asking me first.

    @bthall Does your campus business department have a partnership with #US_SBA? If so, you may be able to get credits for advising and assisting registered small businesses. Sometimes, they need marketing help, sometimes, they need help putting together a funding proposal, sometimes they need formation advice. You'll probably have to take a couple of !smallbiz courses beforehand.
