The museum has plenty of jobs located here in OKC. Not sure I see the angle as the CARES act makes no distinction between a for-profit or non-profit employer (or even religious non-profit for that matter).

79 employees in OKC according to news last night. With their main benefactor being worth approx. 6 billion dollars....not sure they needed as much as some of the many small businesses that are shutting down.

The angle is 100k for 79 jobs for a facility on the other side of the country.
Now I will say that it is a subjective call on best use of limited funds to maximize their use. In my opinion it is not.

Fair enough, but the CARES Act doesn’t really care where a business’s assets are located. It is focused on where the employees are located.
So whether the museum is in DC or Oklahoma is a bit of a red herring for CARES Act purposes.
