Anecdotally, 100% of the legitimate small businesses in my area have been denied access to PPP due to lack of availability of funds.

The research of others has shown that the lack of funds is due to big businesses receiving them. Seems to kinda go against the purpose.

Anecdotally I have several friends who run small businesses that received funds. My employer did as well.

I’m so glad for them and you. I really hope that’s party of a larger trend. It’s just not a trend here.
