    Go for the butt lift. You can earn x2 what you spent on it in record time.

    I applied for the EIDL loan/grant last monday. Havent heard anything back. Been trying to apply for the PPP loan but the Chase website wont let me for some reason. My truck is a lease from Loan Mountain. They said I have to pay it, as of right now there is no assistance from them. As much as I need it, I dont expect any help from LM lease or the SBA and especially not from our government.

    Unfortunately, Rocco's experience is similar to hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of other small business folks right now.

    They stuffed a piggy bank full of two trillion dollars. Turning it upside down and shaking isn't working. Someone needs to grab a hammer! Rocco is f'd just like the rest. The road may be paved with good intentions but It ain't looking so good.

    It's the wild west. Everybody has their own situation to deal with and money is flying around, like dropping from helicopters. To be sure the banks, big corporations, and those with connections, the money is flowing with no problem.

    I don't blame anyone here trying to get their hands on some of it regardless of the risk. And to those of you who think you're sitting fine and pretty, don't be so sure.

    Oh yes, you all have bugouts on land with hoardes of gold, fuel, and cash and an armament fit for a healthy militia. Maybe a few of you, but most it's just talk like at the diner counter at the truck stop back in the day.

    This whole economy is a ponzi scheme. I really don't want any part of it except to work and get a fair return on my labor. Unfortunately, though, this has become an illusion as the broader dynamic of the economic scenario unfolds.

    It is possible the FED can print enough money and inject enough money into the markets to get through this. I don't think so. I believe we are looking at 1-2 years if recession/depression and a possibly even more horrific crash.

    I like this post on a financial board from ZeroHedge. Kind of sums up how I'm feeling about it right now.

    Scammed by who? The EILD application online is a .gov website, set-up by the SBA as the protocol for accessing funding.

    The PPP application goes through an approved SBA bank. A process similar to any other kind of loan application.

    From my bank rep this morning.

    "I have not heard any word on the current 7a debt relief program nor when it would activate. I think the avalanche of PPP has consumed everything for the moment.

    In addition, in regards to when the PPP funding will process. I have been able to make submissions to the SBA and haven’t seen anything fund yet. No Idea on this one either.

    As far as the 10k grant- again I think things are so jammed its hard to tell when things will move. Slowly but surely I think."
