OT COVID19: Who to Blame?

The issue to me with the “hold up” is if they hold up too long with all this the people who really, really need it wont get it in a timely manner while they screw around with vetting. Dont super care if I get a check from them or not, but they need to act quickly and quit with the crap, quit trying to sneak crap into it for corporations, and just do it at some point.

 

The more important thing is to make sure that funds go to the appropriate people not just send out some money to some. If it takes a week or two longer to ensure that the funds are being appropriately distributed then that's what should be done. The moscow mitch bill has some flaws that should be dealt with and not just blindly approved as that can cause even more harm. Bottom line, get it right the first time.

 

See I disagree, bottom line to me, is people who need help now not in a month get it, not after they get it right, and then send the checks... I know the bill as drafted had a lot of crap attached but I addressed that.

 

I'm working but not making as much money as I normally do. Despite the governor letting us stay open the public certainly doesn't think we are essential.....Hey, after we stand in line to get tp let's take our car to the shop and get that dent fixed before the zombies hit.

Not a priority.

 

By the way. Corporate bailouts need not happen. My wife and I can live without a paycheck for about a year.

Let movie theaters and airlines be sold to the highest bidder if they are broke already. Not my problem. AMC is owned by some Chinese company anyway. F them.

 

This whole episode has me convinced we should get some kind of universal basic income for US citizens.

Caveats:
no basic income for illegals
has to discourage the use of having many kids to get more income
eliminate welfare programs

Maybe have a set dollar figure and divide it by the number of citizens over 18. Encourage a smaller population that way.

 

I didn't say a month or so as i said a week or two. That's typical of mcconnel trying to pass some of his bull shit bills.

 

I thought you meant 2 weeks to get it right, cause they already said it would take another 2 to get all the checks out, thats why I said a month.

 

No. It evolved from a previous strain. This strain apparently evolved in China but no one knows where the parent strain came form. Viruses have no country.

 

Semantics. The fact is that it evolved and passed to humans in China. This is a direct result of the wet markets there. So yes, China is to blame for this.

 

So you would rather have a bad bill rather than a good bill? That's how we got that crappy tax bill that greatly benefitted the large corporations and rich and very little for the middle on down. 1-2 weeks is a very short time. It could very well take less than a week.

 

Id rather people who need money now because they were let go, or cant work got it, now, and that the politicians would quit screwing around (all of them).

 

Well we disagree then as i would rather have a bill that takes care of the majority that need it rather than a mcconnel bill that is given little to no time to evaluate how it benefits EVERYONE. McConnel likes to slam through partisan bills that don't offer enough. If it's not a good bill it needs to be amended.

 

Both sides like to slam crap into bills, but if you’re cool spending however long it takes while peoples kids cant eat then cool. Never once said I wanted McConnells crap in there.

 

However long? Where did i ever indicate that? You are adding words to my narrative. I said 1 to 2 weeks and would probably take less.

Would you sign a huge contract with just a day or 2 to evaluate? No need to answer as we will just agree to disagree.

 

Youve added a lot of words to what Ive said too.
