Over 100 CEOs beg Congress: Don’t let small businesses fail permanently


More than 100 CEOs from some of America’s largest companies urged Congress to provide longer-term relief to small businesses devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

In a pleading letter, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, former American Express CEO Ken Chenault, and Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and others asked lawmakers for a list of measures that would help small businesses, which contribute 44% of the country’s GDP and employ half the nation’s private-sector workforce to stay afloat.
