Pass them both together. They split them up to play politics with and you lap it up like a stooge, play the partisan and start pointing fingers. This your first rodeo? Get the money where it needs to go.Quote:

You’re smarter than your posts suggest you are. Knock off the game you’ve played the last 5 years or so.Quote:

It doesn't take martial law. Theres ways to start giving fines, give it exposure. People dont speed to avoid speeding tickets they get once every few years.Quote:

One thing I like about it is nothing can take place until after 2 weeks of downward trend in cases. This right here is key because most likely the way most places will have a trend like this is if distance protocols are in place already.

I wonder if you would be as outraged if they passed this bill for small businesses but then Republicans refused to pass a bill for hospitals.Quote:

The GOP has no problem funding hospitals. The issue is with funding states and trying to bail them out even more. Hospitals deserve to be funded. The program deserves to be funded. Essential workers deserve to be paid more. I would argue teachers shouldn’t but firefighters, grocery stores, police officers and any worker who has to work with customers face to face.Quote:

What a sudden twist of fate for you to suddenly be interested in tax payer dollars (anytime you’re faced with this as a complaint you poutingly dismiss it it’s adorable lol) given who you blindly bootlick at every turn.Quote:

Think of the vandalism and police confrontation that occurs during various G7 and some Black protest. There is always idiots mix in those marches.
God, guns, and guts made America great!Quote:

So, we are to the heart of the issue. Some of the governors didnt say only nice things about the toddler in chief. Seems the right thing to do is hold the bill up until we can secure the funding we need.Quote:

If kids where just ****ing themselves while giving the finger to the man like I did when i was one of them id be fine with it but this is about everyone. The more reckless people act the more it spreads. I have no problem with this or the hundreds of dollars it probably costQuote:

Protesting for your constitutional right to use the skate park etc during a pandemic is stupider. I’m not sure what is going on. It could be the messaging of the media but it presented as a civil liberties issue most of the time

They had a lot of encourage to be stupid by the media, congressional members like John Kennedy in Louisanna, and of course the self-proclaimed "The Chosen One" Trump.
Last time I checked, we’re at 15% of testing capacity of what was promised or roughly 23,000,000. Spin that.
They do have a point that other parks/places (i.e. tennis courts) weren't treated the same.Quote:

I don’t think it is really a valid point unless they had a lot people using the tennis courts. It seems like this was a reaction to people actually using the Park. I think people get very carried away to the idea of equal treatment sometimes. Just bc they took this action with one part of the Park doesn’t mean they have to somewhere else. just bc they have tennis doesn’t mean they “have to” have cricket or some other sport when they are open. Same idea.Quote:

The one thing I will say is that kids who want to skate are going skate somewhere so Im not sure if it really accomplishes it’s goal. Maybe skaters skate and the kids just hanging stay home more.

https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily
Testing has been linear since the first of the month. Average around 145k tests a day and 30-35k positives a day. I haven’t seen any data that addresses the possibility of multiple tests on a given person but the total testing as of the last time that website was updated is about 3.7 million tests. That’s a little over 1% of the US population.
Any thought of the country reopening is likely gonna need at least 3.7 million tests a day not every couple months.
Americans have a strong sense of entitlement even if it being irresponsible to general well-being. I can see us re-opening everything before any comprehensive testing is done. I will keep my black arse in the house until the medical experts give the all-clear, not Trump and his cohorts.
I like to see that the inflection percentage go down per testing groupings before I feel safe.Quote:

Tennis courts, tracks, etc. But I do agree with you that people get carried away with those things.Quote:

It's just labor hours of employees already scheduled to work, but I am sure there will be other projects for them once things reopen.
A buddy of mine used to build his own ramps when we were young. This just means kids are going to skate through the neighborhood, or find parking garages at the empty malls now.
