5. The Definitions Do Get A Bit Odd, Sir

Most people think a small business is something like a 'mom and pop' grocery store, or the town's independent hardware store, but closely held partnerships worth many millions, and firms employing several hundreds fit within certain official definitions of a 'small business'. I do not know what the definitions employed in the current program of relief are, but knowing the sort of shit-heels involved, I suspect they are the most expansive conceivable, and direct much largess not only to enterprises few folks would consider 'small business', but to enterprises which do not need or deserve the slightest relief from the government.
