All you economists have no answers for what we should do other than opening everything up and hoping we don't kill millions. Sorry but that is about as irrational as can be, guess what when millions get sick how many people will be working or buying shit? You can bluster all you want about the economy but that doesn't matter with how many are getting sick and dying. Also nice shot at unions in there, guess where we would be if we didn't have unions throughout history. All it is, is profit over anything with you people. Who cares how much you stomp out the little guy as long as we make the absolute most money possible.

And there it is, no surprise why you picked Detroit knowing your beliefs.

He is upset that some are getting more than if they were working. But doesn't believe the workers should be paid more to begin with because he views their jobs as lowly. Its circle logic to him.

Most of those people either A. have spent the money on keeping their house or B. are saving it for other things. Yes there are some spending which actually is good to keep the economy going but I believe that is a distant C and a good amount of that money can be contributed to the spending less on gas/travel even things like lunch at work add up.

They are not just old and fat, and certainly not those who are being hospitalized. I mean how can anyone take what you say seriously when you are factually incorrect here.

All of them aren't small businesses... and I was right about millions to begin with.

All I am saying is there doesn't need to be endless small businesses and small businesses existing shouldn't stop us from saving people's lives. Those small businesses wouldn't exist if there were no consumers.

Is there a need to have millions of options when we could have 100s of thousands? Again not every small business needs to survive, yes it is unfortunate but shit happens.

What is the alternative? People losing everything. Can you possibly think a bit before commenting because you have a massive blind spot on reality.

Yes and 1918 is history... Let me guess small businesses didn't exist then?

Yeah right, you take issue with people getting money to survive but trillion dollar bailouts are no big deal. Those are digging the debt a lot further.

Not only that but the assumption that every small business is going to have 100% success, not every business works out and sometimes pandemics dictate things over history.

$600 a week, and that is so people don't lose their god damn houses, so to call it a gift is incredibly ignorant and this is coming from someone who is employed and has been.. Would you rather have massive homelessness? Also guess what makes up the other 56%, large corporations or government workers, and neither are going away and the corporations got a bailout as well as having bigger coffers. Again the economy isn't doing bad but you start taking this stuff away and you are going to see massive failures across the board. A politician would vote for that at their own costs.

Last I checked the economy was still doing fine, funny how this bothers you, saving lives but corporate bailouts and massive tax breaks for corporations are no big deal.

Jonger is an extension of that belief otherwise he wouldn't have posted that map.

Yeah we have only tested 15% of the country and of that 15%, 9% of them have been positive. All this in only 5 months. I mean can you at least attempt to realize how dangerous this is instead plunging your head into the sand 24/7.

Yeah those 10 to 15 day forecasts are always 100% accurate.

Jack I am glad to hear you are recovering and this should be a reminder to people that it can hit close to home.

There can be a debate on the effectiveness, but at the end of the day the effectiveness is much greater than 0% and that is the part that matters.

First off when you say something isn't that dangerous after killing nearly 150k people in the matter of 5 months the rest of what you're about to say is meaningless. You can think it isn't that big of a deal but it is. And your suggestion that I am in some state of phobia because I want people to be careful is just really a bad look on your part. It is very obvious by your posts that this is nothing and at this point nothing will change your mind on it. Me and others will look back on this in history and know we did the right thing by being cautious. Also if you took the time to read my post I distinctly said that people weren't wearing masks even coming on or off a plane.

Problem is I see people going on without masks, coming off without masks, and walking around the terminal without masks. Nothing is stopping these people.

I gave a suggestion earlier of vacation closer, no reason to be flying and going down to a place where there are thousands of cases daily.

I am perfectly fine, but I work in an environment where there are thousands of strangers coming through my work every day from all over the country. So I don't think it is remotely irrational to be cautious and careful. And to also wish for less people needlessly traveling rather than people saying **** it and going on vacation all over the country. As for dangerous, how can you not think it is somewhat dangerous with the thousands of cases and thousands of people dead. At what point do some of you get it, when it directly impacts your family? Is that what it will take for you to understand the danger?

Yeah there protocols are good on paper, but there are countless pictures and videos online of the exact opposite occurring down there.
