But as the pandemic worsened, he learned that he did not want to qualify when so many other Americans were un contracted or in trouble.
“Obviously, it’s a crisis-based launch, so we’re trying to follow our signals,” Miller said. “He did not make up for the loss of income; we were given an imperative economic impact.”
