Guest Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Not sure if this got talked about, but the newest Covid relief bill included the Save Our Stages program which sets aside 15 billion for live performance venues, movie theaters, and museums. It's only for smaller operations, so many of my independent theater owner friends just might make it through to the other side with this new lifeline which grants up to 47% of lost revenue for 2020 March-December compared to the same period in 2019, and 1/2 of that for January-March 2021. I cried when it passed. 2020 was such a weird year for me professionally. We had our best year, by a large margin, thanks to the drive ins despite our indoor business being shuttered. So I've had something akin to survivors guilt, seeing all my friends who have their entire livelihood wrapped up in these movie theater businesses that they in most cases built from the ground up. To see some light at the end of the tunnel, even with whatever uncertainty remains about the paradigm shift in the industry...people have a little hope.

Chris- Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Manchin is going to be insufferable to follow because he’s just as likely to cave as he is to hold his ground (to say nothing about the fact that changing parties is probably his only hope at reflection).

Greatoneshere Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just wait until Biden is actually president and calls Manchin into the oval office, with Kamala Harris sitting next to him (because she'll always be the tie breaking vote, and cause she's vice president). Manchin will cave in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s only been there for like 6 years or so, so she hasn’t been converted yet luckily. She mostly doesn’t really pay attention to politics which, considering where she lives now, is probably for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
