Maggot45's Mar-a-lago, Doral properties lay off hundreds of workers

"President Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida is temporarily laying off 153 workers because of the new coronavirus, according to a notice posted this week to a state website.

The club's director of human resources, Janine Gill, wrote in a letter to state and local officials that Mar-a-Lago began halting business last month as a result of mandated closures issued in Palm Beach County in response to the virus's spread in South Florida.

The furloughs are temporary but the club doesn't know when it will resume regular operations, Gill said.
.....
The Trump National Doral Miami resort where President Donald Trump initially wanted to host this year’s Group of Seven summit also has temporarily laid off 560 workers.

The furloughed workers at Mar-a-Lago include bartenders, cooks, dishwashers, drivers, attendants, housekeepers, servers and valet attendants."...(more)

I bet they are not going to get together immediately and form a corporation so that they can get a humongous, sweet bailout, right? I mean, its so easy and fast. You just hold out your hands and they drop money from a helicopter for you.

No, they are probably not going to take advantage of what this county has to offer, so no sympathy for them. After all, there are more important things than living. We know how the system works best and for whom.

Sounds like the yearly membership dues are already spent.
I wonder if huge, unsecured debt elsewhere in the company has anything to do with it.

He has no need to hire any immigrants to exploit with his golf clubs closed.
