Feature Request: I really wish there was a button to use the zip code where I'm looking on the map. I don't have zip codes memorized. So I see a bunch of pins around the zip code of my childhood home and then the rest of the map is blank. My only option is to open google maps in another window and copy paste zip codes back and forth. Cool website though - despite the effort to navigate I'm finding a lot out.

I'll work on that!

When's the investigation?

The IRS has been investigating for years and secured at least 800 indictments.. I wonder if they’ll be defunded like all of the other arbitrary and self-destructive cuts across the government. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-criminal-investigation-rele...

$755B was forgiven. I know that there are many benefits for this program but I cannot resist comparing this with the NSF budget. This is equal to about 75.5 years of the current NSF budget (assuming constant budget but unlikely as there is planned deep cuts). If we assume that the budget will increase 5% to adjust for inflation (unlikely too) then that would about 32yrs. Not that I'm comparing in absolute usefulness.…

It's been discussed before but I'll go ahead and say it again. Any administration that was actually serious about cutting spending to benefit the American people would start with cutting unnecessary defense projects and large scale healthcare reform. Those categories take up the vast, vast majority of the budget. But instead, they cut the programs projecting benevolence to the world and protecting us from tuberculosi…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So like $2500 per person? Another round of stimulus checks would have been better

The purpose of running the money through employers via PPP was to ensure the socioeconomic rankings didn’t change, so that employees still needed their employers. Giving everyone more cash with no strings attached would have given them more negotiating power against employers.

Or it was because employees need jobs a lot more than they need $2,500, so if everyone got $2,500 and lost their job, employees would be screwed in like 3 months.

Profit may not trickle down like you hope but pain sure does.

Great tool. I recognize at least three names in my neighborhood who received money for a new single member LLC

I immediately noticed this as well. In many cases, they weren't even LLCs, just names.

Maybe my memory is hazy from that period, but I don't recall the clear call to action to request five-figure loans as an individual, (almost) all of which appear forgiven.

This is all less-than-peanuts when compared to Trump's tax plan released today: $5-$11 trillion over ten years.

It’s hard to imagine that people really believe world leadership in science is just a meaningless line item to be culled to make political points, but here we are. It will definitely be worth it to someone in the long run, but undoubtedly not the American people.

I can’t believe there were only 3 loans in San Francisco.

But one of them is a whopping $661,500.00 to a cloud communications company. Such a joke!

Covid ruined our local family business. We didn’t see a cent despite applying left and right.
