Coronavirus

Sacrifice the people for the economy

Isn't that what Trump has been doing for the last 3 years?
Tearing down environmental and health regulations so that the corporations can make a profit?

Only now it would be a little more immediate and apparent.

Maybe the boomers had it right back in the 70's - Kill.. er Recycle anyone over the age of 30 (Logan's Run)

Kind of like the 27 club?
According to Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick "Lots of Grandparents" would be willing to die to save our economy. Ironically the Intelligencer is carrying the story.
CNS News Indiana Rep Jim Banks says we should sue China for financial losses due to their mishandling, and original attempt to cover up, the COVID-19 outbreak.

Anyone not willing to die for their country is UNPATRIOTIC!

Kind of like our draft dodging president.... and probably Lt Gov Dan Patrick who has never served in the military and wasn't (apparently) willing to die for his country.

Isn't this bill the same thing that the Democrats wanted to put in place before this pandemic came about?

It sounds like it was more like the TARP that Bush pulled over our heads in 2008.

Ah

So, at this time there is no piece of legislation that would provide relief for the coronavirus.

Why? Because the details have not yet been worked out and not submitted for vote.

What the Democrats have blocked are "procedural votes". Procedure votes are designed to make it easier for to push bills they want through.

This is done under two circumstances:
1. When both sides mostly agree and want to streamline the process.
2. When one side wants to be able to push their agenda without any obstacles.

In this situation #2 applies. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should act like a leader demand that BOTH Democrat AND Republican Senators work together quickly to come up with a BIPARTISAN bill. But, McConnell isn't going to do that because he is a liar and wants pretend like the Democrats are the bad guys this time.

In addition, media outlets in the USA should start telling their readership the truth about this matter.

BOTH Republicans AND Democrats are playing politics.

All that said, the delay isn't that long. It's only been a few days.

Disclaimer: I'm not totally familiar with details on House and Senate procedures, so I may be a little off on terms and stuff, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express

Before the House went on break (last week?) they pushed through what may have been a "phase 1" or a precursor to the current debates (so @CPAT - you may have been right.. but it wasn't before COVID) - in a BIPARTISAN vote.

There was a move to "fast-track" that through the Senate on a unanimous vote, but one GOP'er voted no, mainly because he said there was no time to read/ review it.
I don't know where that effort ended up.
I thought something was passed, and the current discussions are on a "Phase 3" relief, as I've herd it termed.

They thay that if you'z gets da Corona you will start to feel very warm or very cold depending on what pole you live near

On the South Pole I think it's even affecting trees because their leaves are starting to turn orange!

Achoo, Gadzu!

I got's the Corona..*belch*

OR further disenfranchise the mendicants by locking them in their houses and what little source of employment and resource they had

A backwards Purge, maybe?
Rustling the trees to loosen the dying branches...

You know
Everyone around the world is naturally getting the flu right now because of the seasonal change

I wonder if this is some sort of experience in witchery
seeing if a good number of people die from hypochondria and their imaginations over-exaggerating the bi yearly flu most of us always get.

I like the Global Warming story better...what happened to that?

Call me Lenny Bruce but

Last entry was 2016/2017 so this isn't counter prop for Corona

Flu Season Deaths Worldwide

It was too long term.

The lib'rals need bodies piling up in the streets by November to oust Trump.

I did mine over the phone. Or maybe it was another sampling.
I got paperwork and a link to web but then husband went in hospital and the worker checking up on me called and filled it out over the phone.

So their is a way. People just need to think outside the box a bit.
