Didn't mean to start this shitstorm....just don't see how spending $3T on keeping people at home and debt forgiveness helps more than putting people back to work. Everyone is screaming about how the national Debt keeps going up until it means a free handout. +2 on the tweets, and I dont even have twitter.

It didnt cost millions to have his name added...maybe a $1000 to add one line to a template. Unless you're counting toner

Pelosi to present latest relief bill this afternoon.

So much wrong with this. No guarantee on a viable vaccine or treatment. Didn’t the swine flu vaccine developed in the 70s cause brain damage? It’s not the rich people in charge who are simply saying reopen, it’s the decline in R0 combined with pressure from their constituents. Lastly, redistribute the wealth??? Do you suggest a socialist takeover? Even if that were to happen none of the money you’re after would stay here. Almost half of Hong Kong’s wealth expatriated before it was handed over to China. The same would happen here .

Yea I'm definitely not trying to be insensitive to the elderly, just think the smartest thing to do would be to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible while being smart about people who are at risk. The whole pause initiative was initially implemented to not overwhelm the hospitals, not prolong the spread in hopes for a vaccine or therapeutic treatment that may never come.

We should be reopening as fast as the healthcare system can keep up with.

I think all of the non essential manufacturing and service out weigh that. Plus strategically as a company its easier to replace 5 employees each making 50k a year than the guy managing them making 100k a year, and more cost effective.

The way I read it was that they're saying that its up 8% because lower income workers were laid off, skewing the average/median upwards.

I think theyre getting ahead of themselves. The corporate tax rate on large corporations would have to get higher pretty quick, possibly double to sustain the free handouts. Right now the unemployed are pretty comfortable due to the stimulus handouts. When consumer spending falls off a cliff because the handouts stop then the stocks will fall.

Paycheck growth was a strange quirk in the jobs report: More high-income earners stayed in their jobs than low-income workers, skewing the wage data higher.

Ya and anyone who works in food knows that UV light is used extensively for product and tank headspace purification.

Stop paying them to stay at home and watch how fast they come back to work...

In general yes but there always exceptions.This could behave like mono, where you carry the virus for life and it can be reactivated through environmental stressors. We just don't know yet.

Cmon man. I'm not a fan of Cuomo but thats weaksauce.

Holy hell...we also didn't land on the moon lol.

What was this of? It’s been removed.

Somewhat related and tame enough to share here from a local car forum...

I was supposed to be four wheeling in the Adirondacks that week but the trip was postponed by the rental to September due to covid

With this weather might as well turn the pool into a rink.

Lot of categories here that automation won’t obsolete. Automation will however make universal income a necessity in our lifetimes. As far as China goes it’s about fair trade. China’s labor force is becoming more expensive and they will be forced to try taking away some of these sectors away from the US. That’s why we can’t just roll over and gladly let them charge 20% tariffs and steal our tech.

I wouldn't call $13B over two years a massive bailout. Farmers are doing just fine. I'll gladly pay a little more for something made in america than something made in china, now more than ever. Why should china get away with charging a 25% tariff on cars manufactured here when we only charge 2.5% on cars imported here? You ever hear of eastman and westman? Eastman is right here in Buffalo. Westman china. They both made these...

I know, I was joking.

Links? The only feedback I've read about farming and Trump is that him rolling back some of the EPA watershed rules was a godsend for them. And that China is finally buying rice from the US due to China lowering tariffs.

That's prob just NY state taking their cut. lol Kind of crazy that its taxed but i guess it makes sense because everyone's liabilities are different.

I’m pretty sure the $600 per week they’re giving right now is untaxed, as is the stimulus checks.
