Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

This is what I am wanting to see out of this, workers demanding better conditions, maybe even striking and unionizing.

I’ve been telling people at the stores when I pick stuff up that they should use this crisis to unionize while their employers are at a disadvantage so that they can be in a far better position both now and in the future.

The doctor is back on stage but the rest of the team is taking turns hitting him in the face with cream pies before the big orange kid tries to throw balls into buckets for prizes.

I hope someone gets the reference.

They could have just cut everyone a check immediately and then clawed it back as necessary with 2020 returns but instead the IRS will individually need to calculate the amount that each person should get and then send out the money, making this process take weeks if not months to execute

Good job folks

friend of mine said that the stimulus checks are actually just a tax advance that you have to pay back next year, is there truth to that?

Earlier debate had those making more than $75,000 paying some or all back depending on income, but it looks like they settled on a less generous, one-time payment that tapers off above that income threshold.

I'm curious if they at least made it so that those making less than $23,000 actually got the full amount instead of getting half like the GOP were originally proposing. It does look like Schumer managed to get expanded unemployment insurance in there, but I don't know if renewables support, mail-in voting expansion and other income supports in the House bill made it in there at all.

For what it's worth, it's pretty hard to compare US totals to individual European countries when talking absolute numbers. It makes more sense to compare say Western Europe as a whole to US as a whole or large US states or regions to individual EU countries.
