This is a good idea. Amounts to a de facto loan to businesses that are about to face terrible cash crunches.

Ted Cruz (usually an asshole) ✔@tedcruzasshole

If you can buy a gift certicate from a local small business—a restaurant or a toy store or a hair salon—now is a good time to do so. Small acts of kindness, of love in our communities, repeated a million times over, that’s how we will make it through together.

I'm sure you can probably do it over the phone? Ask them to set it aside until this blows over? **Make sure no expiration date beyond a year**.

1. What a thoughtful idea.

Are you sure we are talking about the same Ted Cruz? Maybe it is another Ted Cruz, the local grocer, barber or pet groomer? Lol.
