$349B in PPP used up already.
I know a few businesses who applied early and others who can't apply anymore.

Trump tweets call to ?LIBERATE? states where people are protesting virus restrictions.
President Trump on Friday began openly fomenting right-wing protests of social distancing restrictions in states where groups of his conservative supporters have been violating stay-at-home orders, less than a day after announcing guidelines for how governors could decide on an orderly reopening of their communities.
In a series of all-caps tweets, Mr. Trump declared ?LIBERATE MICHIGAN!? and ?LIBERATE MINNESOTA!? ? two states whose Democratic governors have imposed social distancing restrictions that have shut down businesses and schools and forced people to remain at home. He also tweeted ?LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!?
Encourage economic engines to start like QWERTY and aquabliss is respected, but when you have Commander in Chief provokes disorderly, is an outrage where he should encourage harmonies and patience with one and another.
There is no doubt in my mind we will have revolution of some sort.

There lies the irony of it. I am projecting and this is my opinion, is that the unemployment number will shattered all previous records. Even Great Depression number will dwarf, covid-depression unemployment. Earlier this year Presidency Trump was almost a sure thing. With high anxiety, high debts, all time high unemployment will lead to New political change. All this happen in a relatively short time frame. With election lost, and a close counts, Trump will push for rigged election, and voter frauds will ignites his base to not accept the outcome. Revolution and political chaos might be the outcome. We have 6 months to prepare.
I think the large number of job loss + lock down + looming recession + Trump is starting to drive people crazy.
My high school class reunion Facebook page had turned into a battle ground with nasty posts & comments on both sides. It used to be a nice and civil place since people know each other in real life. It's surprising to see even people who were pretty clueless about politics have strong opinions now.
Yesterday, I got a weird reply from a guy I had couple classes with junior year for just posting a news article about the bailout. He said I should be thankful for the $1200 check Trump's giving me and that Obama would never do that because he's a socialist and not a billionaire who can afford it.
I have so many questions...
I miss the days when the only bad thing was people posting too many redundant photos of their kids.

Just saw this on my news feed. The beginning of a revolution? And of course they used someone wearing american flag holding a "Social Distancing = Communism" sign as lead photo.

I applied for the PPP through my Bank of America business bank account on Monday, April 6th and submitted my documents on Thursday, April 9th through Intralinks. Then got an email to verify my business bank account information online this Wednesday, April 15th which I did same day. No funds yet here....

once you have sba authorization, i believe they have 10 days to fund. assuming you had authorization by the 10th, you should expect to see funds no later than the 20th.
wells fargo took forever to open up my application, so ended up going with a smaller bank we do business with and received sba authorization on the 14th. hopefully have funds by this friday.

How do you know if you got SNA authorization? Did you get an email from your bank? Here's the email that I got from Bank of America on the 15th...

Sounds like your bank needs more info.
I would call your bank and talk to someone.

For those of you with a job or business impacted by the virus and anticipate a full-blown recession, what actions are you taking (if you don't mind sharing) to lessen the impact and possibly take advantage of the situation?
A few positive things that I can think of:
- Personal hygiene
- Importance of savings, investing and creating passive income
- Open mindedness from employers toward remote work arrangements (gov't can play a role in this by giving tax credits to employers with certain % of remote workforce, think about the reduction in pollution, traffic congestion, traffic accidents)
- Using this time to learn new skills or be more educated about certain things
- Taking walks with family while getting some vitamin D

bank of america can't submit your application for sba authorization until they have a complete package from you, which includes all of the additional items they requested. depending on when you logged in again online to provide the additional information they requested, they may not have gotten to your application again to submit to the sba.
i did receive an email from the bank i'm working with that says they "provided my request to the sba and funds have been allocated to my loan" and when i log on to the application web portal it does show my sba authorization number. i can't comment on how bank of america notifies their customers, but i would hope they would do the same. do they have a status section on their website where you log in to input all of the files and info they requested?
