There's nothing fast about the consumer, corporate, and small business protections that have been created to get us through the COVID-19 pandemic. We're covering a lot, including problems with the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP); how the IRS can only print 5 million checks per week; and what makes Mnuchin's direct deposit website a fraud paradise. Then we'll touch on how fintech lenders are cutting credit with zero warning, WeWork's further troubles, accounting-industry layoffs, and how Lime screwed up laying off hundreds of employees. In addition, we'll check out what Intuit and other tech companies are doing to help small business, why some states have yet to get the COVID-19 memo when it comes to tax deadlines, and how David nearly got phished!
