49, 50!
We’ve been counting the days since the Pesach (Passover) Seder. 50 days after we were freed from Egypt (Mitzrayim- a place of narrow straits); we have been anticipating a major event about to transpire at the foot of Mount Sinai.

I know it looks like these guys are beginning at the wrong time. (On that note, I have a post coming that we are ALL startups now, thanks to the pandemic.)

So you’ve been laid off. Maybe now’s the time to consider a new position.
This is especially true for those of us who are on the wrong side of 50. Because- despite the law (which is only as good as enforcement, which means nowadays not very good at all)- we know that hiring older folks, who were making more money than the younger folks is not going to be any better now that the situation has been in the past.
Wow! Who knew that the SBA (Small Business Administration) could react quickly. Those of us who watched its (in)action after Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Harvey weren’t surprised to see just 900 EIDL’s (Economic Injury Disaster Loans) handled a day after the CARES Act was passed to help business cope with the pandemic.
