i'm not convinced the govt could do much more for the business comunity
they are a group who have allways 'hired and fired' to stay liquid.
need workers, hire.
less work, fire.
trying to pay them not to fire workers who have nothing to do would cause them to implode.
as we can see allready, no matter how large or small the company, if theres no money coming in, then its the workers who suffer first.
for big companies the upper management are on tight contracts (with clauses about being paid regardless i'm sure)
for small companys its close the doors, no one gets paid, from the cleaner to the boss.
and right now even if your door is open, the public is being told "stay home, dont go out, except for essentials.'
One challenge is to convert imported contents of goods into local content - where the Govt funding might help industry
