So close those offices. Why are you wasting my tax dollars?

It's not my duty as a taxpayer to subsidize these small businesses.

Then why are you subsidizing large ones through tax breaks?

Honestly, If anything I'd think small businesses would deserve more subsidization than large. Alas, one of these can afford full time lobbying staff, while the other cannot. Soooo... Yeah.

Small businesses more deserving of government support than large? It may be true, but it's never going to happen.

I'm fine with more small business stimuli. Doing that by mandating return to office isn't the right approach.
