House Reps don't have that power. All she can do is make them go through all of the formal procedures like roll call
but she isn't even complaining about the bill here

This is partially garbage because of the extremely high correlation between the researched climate and where the actual people being tested are. This is mysteriously omitted and not mentioned even once in the article. Also, the metric of compound case growth from the 100th case onward is extremely flawed, for both testing reasons and varied levels of mitigation in every country.
We shouldn't count on climate to help determine where the next worst areas might be. At all.
Issue isn't so much the bill as it is the Senate being assholes as usual. Her best path is to do interviews et al and speak up about it. Senate needs to address remote voting and meeting on future bills and so on, I feel that's been sidelined.
Unemployment also helps employers like my Dad who actually care about their employees. He is paying them even though they have no cash flow right now. He won't be able to do that for much longer. But he doesn't want them to have no money coming in, so unemployment insurance is the solution. Republican assholes understand this, they just don't want to help anyone.
Zero. All she can do is demand that the house all show up in person to pass it, which will delay it but not stop it.
This is posturing, 100%. Pelosi is aware of what was negotiated and it was always designed to pass through the house unaltered.
Hard to believe that Rex Tillerson was the high point for the State Department under this administration.
AOC has never and probably will never block a bill on her own lmao
Yeah, I didn't even think about employers. It's so infuriating. I wish just once in my life the GOP would actually show how much they care about small businesses instead of just saying they do. But I'm not holding my breath.
thats not the bailout, thats the MAX going back into production
Currently they are completely forgiven after 10. Depending on your student loan debt, 10k a year won't truly be much of a help at all. The relief doesn't have to be a total jubilee of sorts, but I think many overlook how many are still suffering from graduating with professional and great degrees back in 08-11. Those loans are only higher now if you did ibr
Well, the death rates per capita back it up. The countries with the most deaths per capita are in that highlighted map, and the countries with the fewest deaths per capita are not.
This is key.
I'm in talks with the property manager of my office building about next month's rent. A deferment of rent is fine if you expect to have a surplus of income/revenue to get caught up. But if I have a HUGE rent bill in 3 months or I'm paying a high monthly prorated bill for 6 months, then that's still going to put me in financial trouble, it's just delaying the pain.
At the same time property owners don't want to give 2-3 months of free rent if they're not going to be made whole by the government otherwise they're going to run into the same problem as me but with the bank.
So something needs to happen at the bank / loan level where bank loans are either frozen and/or the maturity date is pushed by 2-3 months or some federal grant. If this is done at the bank / loan level, then this will filter down to home owners, property owners, and renters. This is one of the instances where you do need a top down solution because simply stopping all evictions at the bottom for a couple of months will just create a nightmare 4-6 months from now.
Ah ok
I misunderstood the procedures then
People mostly like him in Florida
He's done enough things to appear competent.
dont be surprised when he gets reelected
Or
Runs for president 2024
Yep. I got laid off from my video game dream job in the height of the 2008/9 recession and was on unemployment for the 99 week maximum, it was the most miserable, stressful, depressing 2 years of my life. It was like I just...lost two years of forward momentum in my life. No one (ok, VERY FEW) who has actually been on unemployment *wants* to be there.
Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollinsTrump and Mnuchin are still pushing for April 6 to have direct payments issued to taxpayers w certain incomes, a White House official says, but lawmakers and IRS experts have warned it could take much longer.

Classic Trump. Just like with the vaccine. "Let's just push it now" with no concern for how.
Yeah, no one likes being unemployed. I was for a month or so in Feb 2018 right after moving into our new apartment, and it sucked. Got a temp job that lasted about four months and once I was done, I was unemployed for about a week and found a job within that time frame because I was like no, not doing this again.
Everyone in power is Lord fucking Farquaad
I got fucked by the 2008 recession too, it took me years to recover. And for a while I was questioning everything about myself and the choices I made. I was miserable and hated myself. So yeah, good times when you aren't able to do the work you went to school for (or even work at all). These silver spooned assholes don't understand anything about the real world.
His plan isn't bad, except the ageism involved..... and you know, inhumanity
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapurJoe Biden opens his virtual press conference sympathizing with the plight of millennials (coming of age in a recession and now a pandemic) and Gen Z (growing up with school shootings, now CV).
"We must not allow this pandemic to rob our young people of their futures," he says.
Joe Biden advises Americans to stay home and behave as though they're infected, noting that they could pass the virus on to others before feeling any symptoms.
"This bill doesn't include student loan forgiveness," Joe Biden says, critiquing the coronavirus stimulus deal.
"I support forgiving at least $10,000 in student debt now," he says, referring to the separate Pelosi-backed bill.

That's a guarantee. Florida is going to be a nightmare in 2-3 weeks.
I was unemployed 1/2003 through 5/2003 and went back to school in June that year. Best 5 months of my life.
Same happened with me and my job at a advertising agency. I now work for a government agency...... shit that recession really altered my career path and life
I mean, what would happen if corps had to actually pay for their mistakes?
Year after year of record profits and this is what they "need"

It likely will, especially if he's going to go full on stupid with this.
The thing is, elderly people are already going back to work. They are retirees who are coming out of retirement to help with the medical emergency, by the hundreds and soon thousands that will be needed in each state.
It's funny how when he wasn't running it was "Fuck those kids tell'em work harder" now it's "Shit, I see you're fucked up let me help".
He needa to own the college forgiveness plan. Warren's or Bernie's either way it was a winning issue and something I still think Trump is willing to do himself if he think's it'll give him the win.
You are never going to hear me complain about having to work through this. As an IT worked I've been extremely busy in the office at work since they let a bunch of the staff work from home. I was supposed to have this week off to celebrate turning 40, but we're down some of our team (sick, but not coronavirus...). My hands are painful from washing them so much, but I'm not going to be the person who brings the disease into our prison population.
I am so fucking grateful to have a job right now, and it's all I can do not to side eye any other employees complaining they weren't cleared to work from home. Some of my closest friends just lost their jobs.

Manu Raju @mkrajuMajor warning issued from three Republicans - Tim Scott, Ben Sasse, Lindsey Graham - who say there's a "massive drafting error" in the stimulus bill. And they would prevent the Senate from fast-tracking its passage unless it is addressed.

Late-stage capitalism at its worst.
Like, seeing these fucking CEOs just blatantly be like YUP PEOPLE GOIN' DIE makes me want to scream. Our company is opening back up Monday with a skeleton crew because we're making essential parts for respirators. We're running a skeleton crew. We're doing temp checks 2x a day. We're mandating showers when people get to work and leave work (We have facility on site). We've hired a nurse. We're hiring people to sanitize the work areas constantly. And my husband is still a nervous wreck someone is going to get sick.
Fuck these people.
Fuck these people.
