So how are u going to make someone pay for this. China isn't going to take accountability for it, its never going to make it to the courts at the UN. They just hammered out the best trade deal for us with China so they aren't going to mess that up. So short of starting WW3, which would be by far the most likely outcome in any confrontation with China, how do u suggest we get our pound of flesh making someone pay.

More tariffs!

The most egregious element, the entrusting of half a trillion dollars in secret to an administration with a proven record of abusing public money for selfish purposes.

I don't expect you will get the distinction considering you moaned at the outset about your stock portfolio taking a hit as a result of the pandemic.

Well Dr, I do care about #1 before anybody.

How does identity politics finds it way into this bill? Only the Dems!

Why don’t you just say we are all doomed?

You follow the narrative of CNN.

Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

Why can’t EVERYONE get bailouts?

Hell, welfare is a damn bailout!

This Country needs another John Wayne.

And Trump said an hour ago is fully against stock buy backs.

I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking about the language in the bill. I suggest reading some before going wild again.

Very sad and devastating.
They are removing respirators from patients over 65 in Spain and giving them to younger patients. Seniors are then given sedatives so they don’t suffer. https://twitter.com/wellingmichael/s...91706677284870

Just force everything except for gas stations, hospitals and grocery stores to close.
All other businesses, parks, whatever else, shut them down.
I'm off the next 2 weeks paid. Guessing it'll prob turn into 2 months and I'll use my PTO. Luckily I have several projects around the house to do, some that could be rather time consuming. So during the week I'll be a stay at home dad since the wife can work from home, and do house stuff on the weekends.
I might turn into mush though not being able to go out anywhere for a while. That's part of why I actually like work, it just gets me out for a while lol.

So people who work at the front lines need no worry? It is essential to go to those places but who cares about them so let them all get the virus without any care to those workers.

So the CEO of a corporation who gets annual bonuses in the double digits of millions gets tens of millions of dollars in bailouts, then will proceed to lay off 1,000 workers and then the board will give them another 10 million dollar bonus.

Meanwhile the average American will get chump change and may lose everything they own. The CEO and his buddies will then proceed to wipe their arse with 100 dollar bills simply because they can.

If you don't see a problem with the system, I genuinely feel sorry for you.

I highly doubt anyone in this forum(myself included) has read enough of the bill that keeps getting blocked, to make an informed decision on if it's a good bill or not.

Dr, he didn’t give a time frame. He is just saying you cannot completely shutdown the entire Nation. That will cause even more panic!

Pelosi was disgraceful with her take on the bill.

Pelosi is denying critical aid, only care about the green new deal BS in this bill? Really?

All politics first and workers LAST!

Dems are just pushing for a far left wish list! A disgrace!

Their Garbage Has Nothing to do with the Coronavirus!

Why can’t they do their agenda on another day?

People like her and Schumer need to retire and play with the grandkids.

I mean they could just choose not to go into work. Nobody is forcing people at grocery stores to go to work every day.

He didn't? News to me. Why does Pence carry that ridiculous piece of cardboard he constantly refers to? The presidents plan as he calls it, 15 day plan to defeat the virus.

Look Nicky it's simple. I trust the science, you trust the president.
