Farmworkers are still in the fields (without protective gear) to ensure America has food to eat during this crisis.

Nearly half are undocumented and won't get a penny from the stimulus package.

Remember this the next time you hear Trump and Republicans demonize immigrants.

Correct me if i'm wrong but this is a respiratory virus not something that gives you the runs so badly need people need a case of TP a week per person right? I've yet to hear one doctor say a symptom of this is horrendous intestinal/ colon distress that people need to stock up on tp that much.

You need to remember that trump only demonizes those breaking the law , and last I checked , those that are here illegally are breaking the law . I can’t believe you want to give free money to people who are breaking the law .

Wow!

This is not an economic reason for unemployment. This is a global health crisis....just a little more serious than some economic nose dive from policy when Jimmy Carter ran the Country into the ground and RR pulled us out!

Not disagreeing. I offered the comparison as an illustration of the enormity.

Fair point, didn't think of that.

I went to Lowes earlier this week to get a bunch of stuff to make my patio. Not essential, but if I'm stuck at home and have a self to do list, I can't do it without supplies.

For my sanity, it's essential lol

They were actually ordered by a government agency to cancel a 500 acre plot that was scheduled to go to a lumber company and send to paper mills. The stupid part about that is over half of it is sent to go to china because thats where lots of companies that make paper supplies make ir then ship it back to us. So by buying all that extra TP, paper towels, napkins ect we are helping to re open Chinas struggling economy while ours is tanking

It's not supposed to be state stockpiles that they then use," Kushner said.

"So, we're encouraging the states to make sure that they're assessing the needs, they're getting the data from their local situations, and then trying to fill it with the supplies that we've given them."

I don't think that's a horrible comment hen seen in context
I read it as, the states need to exhaust their supplies before the fed jump in and when they do ask for help, they need to be accurate. It isn't just, "hey mom give me twenty bucks please. It's "Mom. I need to get lunch and a haircut and by two notebooks for school. I think twenty should cover all of that and I will give you the change"

I don't have an issue with that.

After reading that the White House literally changed the definition of national stockpile to suit Kushner's comments, I recant my previous statement. he's a ****ing moron and a twat.

I also read that companies approached the Fereal gov and said they were ready to produce essential medical supplies but were concerned if the Gov would cover them if they didn't need everything, and the White house said no.

Trump's lack of intelligence, action and flat out, caring is leaving much of the mortality rate of this on his hands alone.
Yep. I said that many of the deaths that could have been prevented are on his shoulders because he has failed to act and failed to put responsible and capable people in charge.

He said no to companies wanting to make supplies because he didn't want to be stuck with the bill.
And the irony? He could have used it for the stockpile.

makes perfect sense but at the same time business where people would usually be using it aren't because the people aren't there. The supply should only see a marginal raise, certainly not enough where their needing 500 extra acres of tree pulp and thats only what has been ordered from 1 logging company in Washington

You have to admit the demand is a little ludicrous. If it were for Masks or hospital supplies it would make all the sense in the world but its not
