My grocery is much more direct: “ you can only have one of those. Sorry. “ as the cashier takes my 2nd and tosses it into a box.
Sure but you compared the difference of the rates. 24.17 is about 1% less than 24.47 anyways I don’t want to start a math tangent I’m just being pedantic
im seeing the senate & white house reached a deal but nothing about the house approving it so why are they running a story saying it's done?
No one in their right mind in the House is going to get in the way of a bipartisan bill that's going to help people quickly in a situation like this.
fair, i'd rather they just wait until it has actually gone through the process to leave congress before reporting it as done
Theres was a decrease in net new cases, but I think it’s a reporting error. New York usually drops a late night batch of test results. Tonight those briefly appeared on all the trackers pushing us up close to 11k new cases, but then those results disappeared from the trackers. I expect to see a very large increase tomorrow around noon.
that's possible, but as I stated before I keep using that guy's numbers so I have constant reliable source of data instead of various sources with different numbers
No other way to put it - the hospitality industry is getting demolished right now. The waterfall effect is going to take a long time to fix/recoup.
Theyre guessing this is it Under the plan as it was being negotiated, individuals who earn $75,000 in adjusted gross income or less would get direct payments of $1,200 each, with married couples earning up to $150,000 receiving $2,400 -- and an additional $500 per each child. The payment would scale down by income, phasing out entirely at $99,000 for singles and $198,000 for couples without children. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/stimulus-senate-action-coronavirus/index.html
The main point is to help those who lose their jobs or have reduced pay, not those who's jobs continue on.
UFC is now testing fighters for Corona scheduled for upcoming cards to ensure these fights can occur. Fuck them.
With all the arguing over the past few pages, I just want to make sure we’re all still in agreement. We all acknowledge that no matter how many people die from this, trumpers, TH, pokes, and other dipshits are never going to say that this pandemic was as bad as advertised or that we should have done more, correct?
yeah I’m not nitpicking. It says that’s what we need. It doesn’t say that’s actually happening. You have framed your entire hypothesis on how the coronavirus will be dealt with based on misreading one sentence of one news article.
Agreed if my wife and I had received the double $6k ($1.5k per person for two months) we said we would give it people who have lost their jobs or directly spend it into the economy. Both of our jobs are intact now. Mine is safe, with no bonuses and likely pay freezes, but I wouldn’t be shocked if her company furloughed/laid off workers over the next month. If that were to happen we are in better shape with emergency fund. The issue is you pass the bill now and it is limited. What if you have two people making $200k combined and one person loses their job in the next month. They won’t get money they need desperately which is the underlying issue (although I know this gets reconciled in 2020). Also one month of stimulus is pretty weak. Also is this essentially a loan or no impact unless you exceed the income limitations? I know a few small business owners who aren’t taking the stimulus for the small business as it is a loan and their margins are thin enough.
Is the $500 billions handouts to corporations or are some of it loans? Can the government get an equity stake in companies? People forget that the government made money on the bank bailout. It’s not really comparing apples to apples.
this is going to start happening in a lot of pro sports leagues I suspect. Play behind closed doors, test players
Day 5 without drinking. Can’t sleep, my body’s itching and I’ve been yelling at my cats for 2 days. I’m off to get bourbon.
Testing every player, coach, support staff, and official daily when people are dying because there is a shortage of tests is crazy.
I haven’t had a drink since Saturday, have only left the house to go on walks. Daddy’s getting into a bottle tonight
