This article didn't seem to mention one of the darker possible drivers of that spike in people "starting businesses", which was to commit PPP loan fraud.
Isn't the "pint-size startup" the status quo for the US? It may be my americocentrism speaking but I feel like the kid-run lemonade stand is as American as it gets. Big business is the aberration, not the rule.
I am immensely curious to know about the finances & accounting of these businesses. None of the examples made sense to me about how they have enough to keep the lights on. Please someone eli5 me.<p>May be American things are too different to me to imagine correctly.
