Plus the fraud. I know in some neighborhoods almost everyone is getting "their $10K small business loan", sharing tips on group chat about how to lie on the forms.
I hate to chuckle, but you should start mentally adjusting to the fact that the rule of law is at best a selectively enforced thing at this point. I suspect that these many instances of fraud may even be used as leverage against people whenever it may be needed. I say that because I know that kind of thing is done and I would do exactly that if it ever came up. Anyone who has fraudulently taken any of those "loans" is not totally compromised to run or not to run for office or to hold certain positions or say certain things.
What do you mean? Who cares who did what wrong thing, it would all depend on which news about it the media, twitter, and facebook decide to suppress or amplify, wouldn't it?
Can you not think back to a couple of instances of people running for pretty high offices when that was the case?
