Pretty much everyone is capable of working more than one occupational role, and almost always a SIP-compatible one. Where do you get "business owners" as the relevant category? Are you sure you're taking this discussion as seriously as you expect others to?

And in which a SIP-compatible role was open and available, which is probably 5 businesses when unemployment went from 4% to 20%. Moral hazard exists everywhere, especially for people who have known the word longer than 6 months.

Pretty much every businesses was offering some kind of SIP compatible role (delivery, remote communication, and socially distanced adaptations). New positions are created and destroyed every day in response to demand. That's how economies work. You can't possibly justify a claim of five businesses.

And if it were so obvious, we wouldn't have people being ridiculed for pointing it out early on, or being surprised today at the result of the incentive structure.
