Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. Same as it ever was.

There are roughly 247M adult citizens living in the USA. Im not 100 % behind the idea but if you want to pump gas into the economic ballon and really stimulate things let’s stop dicking around. Print up $2T and send every adult $8,000.
Families who are in goodnstanding with jobs can go out and put 16k on a car. Families who are fucked because they can’t get work now have X months of operating cash on hand.
If you going to go Yolo - do it right.
so i heard 18% of the service industry is out of work or missing hours. thats... fucking wild.
$1000...
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO CHAMPAGNE ROOM!!!

I've been watching the overreacting media, so I've been social distancing for weeks,
(it is an easy thing, when weed is legal.)
I see fox is finally jumping aboard, but of course they can't just do that,
they have to rewrite history and act like they've been there the whole time.
Nunes on Sunday
“If you’re healthy — you and your family — it’s a great time to go out and go to a local restaurant. Likely you can get in easy. … Go to your local pub.”
Last night on Hannity
“So what I was saying is you have empty restaurants, you can go through the drive-through, you can do takeout. It’s a great place to go,” Nunes said. “The media freaks can do what they want, but they’re endangering lives here by continuing this panic when we have no food shortage in this country.”
The real news is endangering lives, now? After they called it a hoax?
GTFO. In Ireland they have take out windows at pubs, but I cant think of one pub that has a drive-thru, in America.
This thing where the GOP are so insecure in themselves, they cant ever admit they made a mistake, is a huge part of the fact that it is just a party of hypocrites, now.
And when they get caught lying, blame the media. I don't see how, but I guess that works on Fox "news" viewers.
Devin Nunes’s bad cleanup effort after his coronavirus comments

I give this shit a few more days before we all tire of this and go back to normal and let it be what it will be. I’m already getting vibes of people saying fuck it, not living is worse than dying.
please be advised that black twitter now refers to coronavirus as 'the rona'.
The longer clip is much better.
omg what pigs!! I just learned the airlines are not just asking for loans, they want grants (meaning gifts): 29billion grants + 25 billions loans!
https://www.usnews.com/news/business...ral-government
all that without restrictions on executive pay? no way!
look, I understand the need to have the airlines service the country, so providing support is okay,
BUT
no gifts, although the fed govt could pay gate fees that domestic airlines pay airports, for 6 months
and also, a salary & bonus cap on all airline executives pay set at $400,000 per year, the same as what the President of the USA gets, until the loans are repaid
and last, for 10 years out no purchases of airliners made outside of the US
The $1000 per adult being discussed is likely only going to people making less than $75,000 or $100,000.
Which is kinda BS. They should make it $1000 and then start bringing it down on a sliding scale at a certain point, like lowering it $100 for each $10,000 of reported income in 2019.

Perhaps, but I think we can all agree the cruise industry is shot for quite a while. The Government is going to be so up in their business going forward you will need strict testing before getting on board. I actually like cruises, but if anyone thinks I am going to get a test before I go on board go fuck yourself, I will do something else.
This is true in the sense that there are probably too many people out there saying 'fuck it' and carrying on, negating any meaningful impact that those of us staying home are creating.
The redneck conspiritard component of people I know back in NC (not all MAGA) are dropping ripe 'government control, fake news' memes left and right; it definitely hasn't connected yet with the anti vaxxer, chem trail crowd.
Fox News switching up messaging by realizing that the gaslighting killing off their viewing audience is worse than fake newsing a pandemic is helpful but likely too late.
Bodies are found to begin getting stacked at shocking rates.
Hoping I'm wrong.
If this is the case it’s fuckin stupid. Simple fact is that the majority of people spend what they make. Many people with a household income of more than $100,000 will still be fucked if they miss a couple paychecks especially in places with high costs of living. More money more problems yo.
LOL Mohegan Sun in CT just shutting down after 8pm today
Caesars decided it was just going to close the buffet, and steal MGM/Wynn business.
Now they're rethinking it.
They are going to close the casino at their properties, though the hotels will stay open for now.
This hasn't formally been announced yet.
Two days ago, they took heat for this tweet:
Nevada casinos force-closed:

Random thought:
Once the dust settles and the country is back to its daily routine, IMO there would never be a better time (from a terrorist's perspective) to commit a major terror attack on US soil.
Believe me, I hate thinking about it, but...
