Meanwhile, in Trump's view, hydroxycholoroquinine is the cure, social distancing can end next week, and we can just put the whole thing behind us. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...83f0_story.html quote:But the push to reopen parts of the economy has gained traction among Republican lawmakers in both the Senate and the House, said two people with knowledge of the matter. Also Trump is lying about automakers making ventilators, surprise surprise. https://twitter.com/YahooNews/status/1242098837667352580

I'd sooner trust a "Directions from the CDC" document than anything that had the president's name on it. I know this is the era of bullshit Trump narcissism, but jesus christ this ineptitude must be triggering some reptilian self-preservation instinct in his handlers.

shame on an IGA posted:"If General McClellan does not want to use the army, I should like to borrow it." - A. Lincoln It's becoming increasingly clear to me that McClellan isn't entirely deserving of the reputation history has slapped upon him. Mostly it's because he had the audacity to say bad things about Lincoln in letters to his wife.

McNally posted:It's becoming increasingly clear to me that McClellan isn't entirely deserving of the reputation history has slapped upon him. He isn't deserving of quite as bad a reputation as he has, but drat if he didn't need a kick in the rear end on occasion. Or a couple belts of whatever U.S. Grant drank to give him courage. Army commanders in the Civil War faced a monstrously steep learning curve and it's no wonder so many fell off. It also probably says something about the pre-war U.S. Army that the two best Federal generals had left the service before the war started and only returned because there was a literal civil war happening.

There's also this. https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1242191362780475394 Keep in mind, even if the checks only go out for 1.5K, that doesn't mean "that's it. No more funds for anyone!" We are likely to see this kind of poo poo happening on repeat between now and whenever this poo poo finally ends.

A Friend posted:If the purchasing power of the middleclass is brought too far down, a temporary boost in capital will do little to help the large corporations in the aftermath of all this. Take care of us, the middleclass, and we'll spend the economy back into shape That whole "make the poor think they're middle class" thing has worked like a loving champ. This dude is a landscaper who barely scrapes by.

I'm glad I've been unemployed for three months. I'm really loving glad I started paying attention to the covid in early January when poo poo started trickling out of China and it started looking a little crazy there. I was planning to find a job again but that brief spell in the ward convinced me to sit back and relax for a spell and watch the world burn. And I don't have a rocking chair on the patio. Gonna need to drag the recliner outside to see what kind of show I get here. If nothing else, I'm definitely going to be growing weed with trumpbux.

maffew buildings posted:Can one of our resident neolibs explain how this isn't totally loving awful It's a much larger up-front payment plus $600/week for covid-affected after that. It's more than triple what Republicans were arguing for and recurring unlike the one-time bribe to get 1.6T in corporate bailouts it's also paired with way more health funding. Since it's recurring it also removes that leverage when it comes to passing the next trillion+ bill that will happen next month and so on because this poo poo is just starting. There's also the eviction freeze, vote-by-mail, wiping out the 120B in "debt" the Post Office was forced to load up on in the 2000's, and doesn't have a 500 billion unauditable slush fund for Trump to administer/launder.

SimonCat posted:Why the gently caress would I want a zero-interest loan from the government? As someone that would be obligated to pay this back, I'd be fine with it so long as people who make less than me don't have to. I'd prefer if we just taxed the gently caress out of billionaires and such to pay for it, but that's not happening with this senate or White House. Throw it into a high interest savings or CD account if you don't want it. Pay it back next year, keep the interest. You're welcome. Vincent Van Goatse posted:goddamn C-SPAM is unreadable now Now? I admit it was fun/fine for like a year or so post 2016 but since then...

The poors are always audited more than the rich. That's how they'll get that money back from the poors. "Oh says here you didn't include the sale of your blah blah fuckshit! There's a penalty for that you know!"
