Many Very Large Companies Got Small Business Aid

Washington Post: “Nearly 300 public companies have reported receiving money from the fund, called the Paycheck Protection Program… Recipients include 43 companies with more than 500 workers, the maximum typically allowed by the program. Several other recipients were prosperous enough to pay executives $2 million or more.”
