Why did they need to form a Western state pact? I don't think a lot of people cross the California-Oregon border.
This is a really beep-beep-boop kind of question.

The pact is as much a symbolic show of no confidence towards the federal government's ability to responsibly handle the emergency as it is a way to use the west coast states' clout to help procure supplies and self-manage things.

When you have the Feds intercepting ventilators and face masks for nebulous reasons AND trying to mandate looser restrictions way before it's reasonable, it makes sense to band together rather than stick out like a sore thumb.

You can't form a pact with Washington and leave Oregon out. It makes the borders non-contiguous and sloppy. It's like you've never played Crusader Kings. Paint the map your color.

The thing that has me scratching my head is how is it going to be distributed? Article I read says personal information will not be required to claim it. What are they gonna do, have folks walk up, get money, then stamp their hand like they're leaving an amusement park?

Like how can you distribute $500 each to potentially millions of people without taking their info, without already having their info? I can't imagine they're just gonna hand it over to anyone willing to stand in a line. Am I missing something obvious?

Don't a lot of undocumented people use a tax ID when working for companies? They could go that route.

My only fear is ICE using this information to deport everyone that Newsome was giving aid to in retaliation.

The new hours, which begin Monday, will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, Newsom said.

Currently, the call center is only operational from 8 a.m to noon, Monday through Friday, and has been flooded with phone calls the past month as many residents lost their job to business closures and mass layoffs caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

lmao.

If it's the same as the last time I was on unemployment there is no way to wait on hold until someone is available either. If everyone is busy it just tells you to try again later and hangs up on you. When I lost my job in the last recession EDD hosed up my application and I ended up having to set up some sort of automated call system to spam EDD with constant calls until I finally got through to someone after hundreds of attempts.

Trump can do it because the democrats are useless sacks who are unwilling or unable to enforce the law.

He is also a vindictive baby who will not be able to sleep until he gets even with the state for not respecting his authority.

Undocumented immigrants give way more in their labor then they take in benefits anyway, this seems like the least one could do. Republicans are so entitled.
