    Saw on the news last night the employees showed up for work and were locked out. Now, the question is, will they get a last paycheck?

    There’s been several pretty big and old companies close in a time when I see now hiring signs on every truck

    Don’t you have to wonder if the 5 people at the top grabbed that federal $$ and said shut it down Let’s take what we can get and be done??

    Maybe greed or just sick of all the rules and regs??

    Well at least it's not like they just kicked 1400 drivers to the curb right before Christmas.

    Lots of restaurants did that .
    Grabbed the PPP money and closed down .

    I believe most of the lumber mills did it as well. That’s why the lumber price spiked .

    why run your milll when you can close it down , collect the PPP and pocket far more money than actually running the mill., since you’re expenses drop to near zero when you shut it down .
