        <div>Hi HTers,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>About a year ago I asked here for local bank
          recommendations, as my firm moved from Easthampton Savings
          Bank because of its multiple failures over many months costing
          my firm well north of $1500. The great preponderance among
          many recommendations were for GSB. All of my experiences with
          GSB confirm the validity of those glowing recommendations.
          <br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Beyond thanking this list for that good advice, I’m
          reporting my front row seat to GSB’s extraordinary efforts to
          help local businesses by working like mad to deliver PPP
          loans/grants amidst the chaos of shifting laws and rules in
          the PPP program. I read those laws in detail (and the far
          superior Senate version before the House let the banking Lobby
          inject chaos fruitful for the big bank and lawyer lobbies),
          and I can tell you that it was not the local banks that caused
          many businesses to not secure the loan. Some big banks broke
          the law (which was made nearly lawless by design), and most
          banks, to
          <span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
            background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline
            !important">
            reduce their legal risks, </span>served only existing
          clients. But GSB burnt the midnight oil and took on risks of
          their own to deliver as much as possible.

        </div>
        <div>Just giving credit where it’s due.<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>For those still waiting, I do believe you’ll eventually get
          it. The country and world is in a classic debt trap for which
          issuing more debt and even giving away printed money is the
          only solution short of collapsing and resetting the global
          monetary regime. Ultimately, it’s in the system’s interest
          that you get the PPP loans/grants.<br>
