Costco is one of the least crowded places to shop.

And they are strict about enforcing the six feet social distancing.

Isn't that true of all crisis -- big corporations can ride the wave...smaller businesses operating closer to the edge struggle.

WE made a point to support some local/smaller businesses. Everything from the deals on shows from American businesses to (Good Morning America deals), to following local businesses online and buying up stuff.

It's up to us to figure out how to help small businesses.

What about Michael's Crafts and Best Buy? Why are they open?

Eventually the dominoes will fall and it will impact everyone.

Big business says thank you very much as the competition decreases.

Working as intended. Big corporations have the cash for big campaign contributions. For the most part, small businesses don't.
