The Ruth’s Chris in Bethesda has (or used to have) a good happy hour where I used to meet friends occasionally. Thanks for letting me know that I need to add them to my list of companies that will NEVER receive a dime from me when this is over. I hope they go out of business.

Even if the government won’t release the names of companies receiving the loans, will the information be subject to FOIA requests?

I'll bet you that the Orange Asscactus Administration will fight any FOIA request tooth and nail.

So, as usual, big corporations take advantage of the system and screw the little guy.

Thank you for the amazing job you continue to do. Shedding light on our governments continued mismanaging of COVID 19 funds being diverted to large companies instead of small struggling businesses is critically important at a time when the one person who’s job it was to oversee the money’s distribution was fired by a man who has not spent even one day of his tenure behaving like a President; or a person with an iota of integrity.

I will never set foot in their establishments, nor my family. We're getting screwed by the wealthy and the GOP.

Shine the spotlight brightly on this behemoth. They closed their Asheville, NC store completely I understand. I hate it for their employees but good riddance to an overpriced restaurant bad boy. The rich get greedier.

How the hell do you keep only managers when they have no one to manage? That it's so illogical is a spit in the face of everyday people.

All the same. 1% benefitting from screwing the little guy. We have no Ruth Chris Steakhouse around here. But I am sure you could substitute a name. Fill in the blank is an unfortunate truism in 2020
