April’s Job Report & Twitter
April's job report was released today and shows an increase of 266K jobs filled; unfortunately, this is far below the 1 million jobs that economists predicted. With this new information, America's recovery from the pandemic is more uncertain than ever. People are questioning their allegiance to these economists while debating our leadership's policies. As you can imagine, this news has caused an uproar on Twitter; using the trending tag #JobsReport, #Unemployment, and #+266k will bring you to the front of the action. Today's social media round-up will show both sides of the argument. Let's begin.
Shuttered Venue Operators Grant Update
This is a quick minor update on the Shuttered Venue Operator Grant. It's a little different than PPP. This was very specific as to who can apply. You had to be a live venue operator. If you produce theatrical performances, live performances, concerts, movie theaters, museums, talent representatives, all these folks got super, super hit by COVID because even if they wanted to open, they really couldn't.

Dogecoin – DogeDay & Elon Musk Recap
Dogecoin, if you haven't heard of this fabled cryptocurrency, you've been living under a rock. I haven't been able to leave my house or check my phone without hearing about people's experiences with dogecoin. After hearing about people's gains after they invested in dogecoin, my interest was naturally peaked. I decided I would turn to Twitter to help answer some of my questions about this crypto and hopefully answer some of yours. Let's take a dive into this week's social media round-up.
The Go-Giver – Video
"The Go-Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea" by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This month's book club was inspiring because we were unexpectedly blessed with the presence of one of The Go-Giver's authors, John David Mann, and his wife, Ana.

Stimulus Money & Spending Habits
Stimulus money, stimulus checks, economic relief payments, no matter what you call it, you know that the world has been waiting for this money. Now, Coronavirus and its effect have been nothing short of devastating; however, I believe the only silver lining might be the stimulus checks. So far Americans, who are eligible, should have received three stimulus checks totaling $3200.00. With all this "unearned" money hitting our bank accounts, it begs the question, "What are people spending their Stimulus Checks on?" Well, I did some digging across Twitter and Tiktok and found some savvy spenders, some not-so-smart spenders, and some that made me laugh out loud. Let's take a look at this social media round-up.
