"From day one I decided, I'm not going to close. We are only about eight staff in the kitchen, and most of them have been with me for 16 years. I looked at their faces, and I could see fear. I told them, no matter what happens, I’ll get a loan or whatever but we’re not going to close down."

** Democrats’ $3T Relief Bill Would Hurt Employers and Employees ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Among its flaws, the Democratic coronavirus relief bill—called the HEROES Act—threatens to undermine the increased workplace flexibility and accommodations that workers and employers alike need to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Their sweeping bill includes a full-year extension of what was supposed to be a temporary mandate ([link removed]) on small businesses to provide up to 12 weeks of paid sick and family leave to all workers. Mandates like this derail the organic process of businesses finding ways to meet their unique situations and needs—and put further financial strains on businesses trying to stay afloat and save or create jobs.

** Beauticians Are the New Civil Rights Heroines ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
In an interesting twist, barbers and beauticians have become true populist heroes and heroines during this crisis. When Dallas beautician Shelley Luther of the A La Mode Salon defied a stay-at-home order to try to save her business ([link removed]) and the jobs of her employees, a smug judge threw her in jail. Luther isn’t the only beautician to defy a stay-at-home decree in the name of preserving her livelihood and that of her employers.

** Ask Your Lawmakers to Support Policies That Restore the American Dream in a World With Coronavirus ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The novel coronavirus has changed American life in important and lasting ways. Americans have become newly aware of the tremendous threat that pandemics, and other unexpected events, pose to our way of life. This week, IWF sent our Restoring the American Dream of Health, Happiness and Opportunity in a World with Coronavirus plan to every congressional office ([link removed]) .
The government cannot continue to borrow and throw trillions of dollars in an attempt to paper over the damage caused by coronavirus and the economic shutdown. Rather, we need positive solutions to create a framework and a better environment to encourage innovation and hard work, so our country comes back stronger than ever before.

** With AOC Running Biden’s Energy Policy, Expect More Dangerous Nuclear Plant Shutdowns ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Biden tapped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to co-chair his climate change task force, which suggests that a version of the Green New Deal, which she authored, is all but inevitable under a Biden presidency. If the coronavirus pandemic hit us 10 years from now and the Green New Deal were written into law, states would be mandated to phase out coal, nuclear energy, and natural gas to generate 100% of power demand from zero-emission energy sources, which to Democrats means renewables only.
