The lady who cuts my hair lived of ppp because she wasn’t allowed to cut hair. It was a life line for millions of people. If you were paid during Covid and were not working. Thank the ppp money.

No, that does not mean that landlords are the ones who should manage it.

Then who should manage it?

That's great but there was a shit ton of theft because trump neutered the watch dog. So a lot of it didn't go where it should have.

And then even more theft because Trump neutered the court's ability to requisition records.

Your anecdote does not disprove the fact that nearly half a trillion dollars is estimated to have been frauded from the US Govt. via PPP and other Trump COVID policies

Then who should manage it?

Maybe, like, I dunno, affordable, community owned-and-managed housing, where living costs aren't determined by what color Corvette the landlord wants this year, would be a good start.
