So apparently Bank of America is trending on Twitter because they are denying a bunch of SBA loans to people under the Paycheck Protection provisions in the CARES act. Thank god for Federal/private partnering to get us through these tough times. BOA must have found out they weren't going to make enough on these loans and said **** it.

This is an incredibly irresponsible oversimplification of a very complex issue.

BOA is literally rejecting loan applications for the paycheck protection program if small businesses didn't have a prior loan with them. This is ****ing nuts.

does the response to this pandemic impact anyone´s views on the role of the State at large?

I´ve always viewed it in a management role--like, this is pretty much The Thing It Is For--and it´s failing bigly.

private enterprise/citizens are doing more than national-level organizations to assist on the ground. all bad.

I´m no libertarian, otherwise you´d have some Jeff Bezos calling the shots on Planet Earth, but still...

from where does the State´s authority arise if not from the obligation to ensure the protection of its subjects?

Hopefully these individuals can utilize the supplemental unemployment benefits outlined in the CARES Act.
