Coronavirus (political)

Ok so where will the money come from?? As usual he's talking out of his ass.

Sounds like a problem for the next guy. Trump will be neck deep into plans to build Trump Tower Moscow by the time that concern comes along.

Good morning Moody. Well written article (I only read the exerts you quoted).

I watched Wall-E last night and its message resonated with this article. While I agree with the article .. I also dont agree.

The American dream is very much alive and achievable .... if you get lucky.

Lucky - I have a friend who works at Giant just returning carts from the parking lot. He is union and I he makes almost $20 an hour with health. This guy is somewhat of a space cadet and couldnt work an office job or even a cashier job. He lives in a townhouse similar to mine but has a roommate.

Lucky and lazy (truly what is wrong with America) - Neighbors down the street, parents do not work at all. have 5 kids. Yeah they live on the poverty line but they just bought their son one of those hover board things for his birthday and live in a town house exactly like mine. All sugar foods, leave trash everywhere. The State pays for everything. The landlord is kicking them out .. but they told me they have a realtor helping them find a new rental home? Covid money? Went on vacation to fucking Florida.

Unlucky - On the flip side, my ex cannot find a job, she has interviewed a billion times with multiple grocery stores but no hire. No one wants to hire full time 40 hours. All these laces will offer you part time if you are lucky. Then you have to get lucky finding another part time job whose hours will harmonize with your other part time job.

America has failed her. She would be in a homeless shelter if I dont pay about 2.5k every month for her apartment, food, utilities etc.

Sorry for the rant .. American dream is achievable .. my ex just has to catch a break .. meanwhile people who arent even trying to find a job just live off the State and pop out a bunch of kids that go to school less than half the time and have no hope of being productive ... idk

You make good points too Sunny, and I agree for the most part. I think we can both agree that the system is broken right now, even if it's not broken for everyone.

Cutting payroll taxes is a cut to Social Security. Bad idea.

I agree, but I think the stimulus to people who didn’t lose a job not a great idea either.

Dumb was giving people extra money and incentivizing folks not to return to work...in no world does this make any sense.

I think the most important is getting the money to small business affected and people directly affected in service industries. I’d say get the money to the states and let them parse it with federal oversight.

We act like this is a normal economic crisis...this didn’t happen do to any economic issue.

You better thank god this happened in an economy which was steamrolling. Many be in a world of fuckin hurt if it was in a middling, recovering or stalling economic conditions

Florida man strikes again

Florida sheriff forbids staff, visitors from wearing masks (https://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-sheriff-forbids-staff-visitors-wearing-masks/story?id=72325542)

Unemployment is for when you're out of a job , if you are called back and don't go,the Company is to contact unemployment and your money stops becuase you quit .It's simple ...you can not choose to stay out of work and still get unemployment ,if they are ....that's on the state.

trump might very well be in jail when not in the WH.

Not true . I worked for Giant for 31 years . I know the Union that represents the stores .What you're describing fell under the contract people had maybe 15-20 years ago.

No one is "just pulling carts"(at Giant) and is making $20 and hour and if they are pulling carts they are part time. Many if not all the Giant associates got "Covid pay" for a while . Yet even if they did why is it that you think they are unworthy of making $20 hrs an hour ?


As for your Ex , all I can say is if she wants a ful ltime job she has to earn it. Giant has been begging for people but all jobs are starting at part time and you work your way up to the Full time positions.Been that way atr Giant and Safeway for years.

Question, your ex? You say she has been interviewed alot, yet no one will hire full time,she won't take part time?I mean isn't a little better that nothing .isn't that what you're ranting about?

No job offer, part time or full time, for the grocery stores. She interviewed multiple times with the 3 ones near us. She had a 8 year gap in employment and is now 1 month away from celebrating 2 years sober.

She just got her drivers license, taking an online pharmacy tech program. She is putting on weight, she went from doctors giving her 1 year to live to now being super healthy.

My point was, I see all these signs hiring (pre covid) and wonder why people cant find jobs. Then I see her experience of struggling to find even part time offers. If people think there are full time jobs just waiting for the unemployed ... that is not the case.

Its part time if you are lucky.

She is making tremendous progress and she will catch her break. She just cant give up.

To be fair, she always worked before she stopped working 8 years ago but all as a bartender and im sure she could have got a bartender/server job 2 years ago but that would have not worked for her sobriety.

No, the CDC did not ‘quietly adjust’ US coronavirus deaths (https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/09/01/cdc-coronavirus-underlying-conditions-covid-19/3453988001/)

just amazes me we have a president that tweets out fake news on the regular
