SECTION1. This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act’’ or the ‘‘HEROES Act’’.

The official one sucks worse than the fake ones we came up with in the two minutes we saw it.

It starts on page 150

DIVISION B—REVENUE PROVISIONS
Title I—Economic stimulus
Title II—Additional relief for workers
Title III—Net operating losses

On page 154, it mentions exempting the previous and future checks from wage garnishment. On page 160, it looks like it only mentions an additional stimulus check of the same size as last time.

quote:

In the case of an eligible indi10 vidual, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax
11 imposed by subtitle A for the first taxable year beginning
12 in 2020 an amount equal to the additional rebate amount
13 determined for such taxable year.

18 ‘‘(1) $1,200 ($2,400 in the case of a joint re19 turn), plus
20 ‘‘(2) $1,200 multiplied by the number of de21 pendents of the taxpayer for such taxable year (not
22 in excess of 3 such dependents).

I have to wait for a summary from a news source that's better at analyzing these documents before I can be sure, though

Nah, this is a super overblown (and probably a little bit racist) fear

I work as a contractor in tech in a way that puts me in direct competition with coding sweatshops in India, except I'm not in competition with them at all because having competent work done offshore costs just as much as hiring a US contractor anyway. People have been afraid of this for decades and it's just not really a thing.

I'm a contractor in tech as well that has worked with several international companies and international companies will generally hire someone not in the US before they'll hire someone in the US depending on if they have a physical office in the US or not because it's much, much cheaper for them. A company based in the US will hire a contractor in the US before they'll hire an international person or an offshore crew where they don't have an office because of the tax weirdness and "lack of oversight" claim. One of my first jobs in tech was training the offshore crew that came over to the US because the lead was so angry they were going to take his job he refused so I gained the experience, the networking of those individuals (who were awesome and smart and loved tater tots), and advanced out of that position and ended up making more than he did

Wife hit up the local church/regional food coop produce giveaway today, went real late since she was worried about people more in need. Got a huge box of fresh veggies, tons of green beans, leeks, etc. Lots of discolored stuff, but who cares? I was super pleased since its way safer than handling produce in a store that a hundred other people touched after sneezing into their hands. Put it all in soapy water in the sink, rinsed and drained.

Anyways her mom called and immediately berated her for taking govt handouts and how I should get a job (I'm getting more on unemployment than a 40 hour work week). This is why the USA is hosed

New York had so many people afraid to use the $600 they received through Direct Deposit that they flooded NY's unemployment hotline with questions about whether or not they were able to actually spend it, or if it was a "mistake"

quote:

(CNN)A British railway ticket office worker has died from Covid-19 after being spat on while she was working at Victoria station in central London.

Belly Mujinga, 47, was working with a colleague when a member of the public assaulted them, spat and coughed over them and said he had the novel coronavirus, said her union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), in a statement Tuesday.

Mujinga, who had an underlying health condition, was working for Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) on the station concourse at the time of the incident on March 22. British Transport Police said in a statement to CNN that an investigation into the incident had been launched.

"Belly and her colleague begged to be let to work from inside the building with a protective barrier between them and the public for the rest of that day," TSSA said in its statement. "Management said they needed people working outside and sent them back out onto the concourse for the rest of their shift."

Both women went back outside and completed their shift, added the union, but they had no personal protective equipment.

It looks the "Revenue Provisions" section is mostly an indecipherable 280-page collection of tax credits with subsections labeled things like "for homeless youth" or "for first responders" or "for elementary school teachers" or "something something increasing maximum age limit on such and such deduction from 65 to 66"

Politico has a summary out now, sponsored by a health insurance company

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2020/05/12/new-details-of-the-house-dem-coronavirus-bill-489202
https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000172-09a9-dc3e-aff6-0dbd032c0000

Even the summary is 90 pages. Politico didn't mention additional stimulus checks, perhaps because they didn't see it buried deep in there, but

quote:

SUBTITLE B – ADDDITIONAL RECOVERY REBATES TO INDIVIDUALS
Sec. 111. Additional recovery rebates to individuals.
Provides a $1,200 refundable tax credit for each family member that shall be paid out in advance
payments, similar to the Economic Impact Payments in the CARES Act. The credit is $1,200 for
a single taxpayer ($2,400 for joint filers), in addition to $1,200 per dependent up to a maximum
of 3 dependents.

so it looks like that confirms it's another stimulus check of the same size as last time.

Politico posted:

REMEMBER: This is a messaging bill for House Democrats. It is intended to help House Dems lay their marker for the policies they believe in. This will not become law. Heather Caygle, Sarah Ferris and John Bresnahan on the bill

says Politico after the Democrats precompromised down from Pelosi "considering" $2,000 monthly
