Quite honestly, over all these years we faced some adversity and challenges. But, to be honest, its nothing like we are today. We have literally had to reinvent our business several times since the beginning of the year. Just to stay afloat. Our revenue for example, is off about 40 . We have half of the employees that we had free covid. Our customers are a little scared, our employees are sometimes afraid to come to work. Ecause of the covid to be honest with you, i am just frustrated. I dont understand how we got here. We are the greatest nation in the world. That, maybes to me if we just came together on this alone, maybe, as americans, and being united, we can overcome. Thank you for sharing your story. Im sure many Small Business owners feel the same way you are feeling now. We wish you the best for your business and your family. Marley whosen to 15 years old from west orange, new jersey.

Its been six months now since the 26yearold emt was killed in her own apartment by louisville police, and after months of protests in the streets, online, and at major sporting events, the city of louisville has finally responded. A Major Development in the killing of breonna taylor. Attorneys for taylors family say they have reached a settlement with the city of louisville, kentucky. That settlement includes a financial agreement and Police Reforms. 12 million in a civil settlement for breonna taylor. But the lawyers and the mom and everybody there making it clear that this fight is not over. They did announce, though, that along with that civil settlement, there are a number of Police Reforms including a housing credit for officers to live in lowincome housing, to live in the communities they police; creating a program to include social workers for assistance on police runs; a Commanding Officer to review search warrants before the officer seeks a judicial warrant. Those are some pre
Life, unlike what happened with breonna taylor, who was left on the ground after being shot for 20 minutes. Another reform is that officers will now be incentivized to live in the communities they police. Which is a step in the right direction. Ill be hont with you. I cant even believe police are allowed to live outside the areas they patrol. You would think they would have an invested interest in the communities they live. Living in the country hes in charge of which i know, technically, putin does with america, but you know what im saying.

But, honestly, thats not really the type of records we want black people to be setting. And the thing thats messed up about these settlements is its never paid by the police who did something wrong. Its paid by the city. Which which means taxpayers are being punished f
