Oh I know. I am just shocked that Republicans are trying to help people for once.
Rand Paul is fuming right now. The virus is preventing him from voting no on the virus package.
This isn't quite true. Plenty of non-essential companies are operating as WFH. The UI section even explicitly says none of those people are eligible.
Ah so they don't WANT to help people. They just have no choice.
Sounds about right.
They don't have a choice. There would be no spinning voting against a bill like this.
I look forward to the GOP turning into deficit hawks again if Biden wins. Will be a nice blast from the past.
A No vote here would draw the type of ire we haven't seen in many years, plus it would tank the markets. It would be instant political death.
No, that made it through. Up to $600/wk plus whatever your state provides.
Even funnier in that it's the GOP's fault that there isn't remote voting for the Senate.
i'm glad something passed, and the unemployment measures didn't get stripped out. but i think the nation is sort of in for a collective shock at how many people are working in the gig economy whose needs are likely going to go completely unmet for the foreseeable future.
Yea, I don't believe there is any correlation to warmer temperatures doing anything with this virus
Who knows, it might have came from the CDC but from a trump goon.
Based on a very detailed modeling presentation from our Governor today (who is actually competent and a former teacher). The goal, at this point is not to kill the disease, it's to slow roll it out with enough buffer for the hospitals to maintain the people who need it. The though is that by summer we will likely be able to have exposed and treated enough that we won't have a massive spike concern again, though nothing is for sure.
Yeah it's not everyone but it's certainly a lot, where their hand was still forced to a degree. Any longer and the Dems would have had even more leverage for future bills.
At any rate, I think weather doesn't really bother it because it is so hard to get rid of since it stays on surfaces for so long inside regardless. My initial comment is wrong regardless.
I hope for the day when we can say "Okay, 10 people got infected today. They were immediately quarantined across the various states. No one died."
The house now has to vote tomorrow, if that passes, then the president will sign off on the bill
The only reason most GOP Republicans are doing this is because about 22 of them are up for re-election this year, not because they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
I mean right now on stream lol. Seems like they are just waiting around for people to come vote on their own time
Most voted yes because the Cheeto in Chief told them to.
Hey guys, so I have some questions, if anyone can help answer them.
I didn't lose my job, my job just cut everyone's hours down. So instead of working 35 hours a week, I work 10 hours and was eligible and got accepted for unemployment insurance in my State. I'm getting $255 a week from it.
Would I also be eligible for another form of unemployment from the federal government directly? Or am I misunderstanding this?

That day will come, not yet though.
The only way out is through.
And just to put real people with it. My wife is a front line medical worker and the more of you that stay home, the less exposed she is every day. I know it sucks to stay home and have your jobs closed down, but you really are saving your loved ones lives and buying valuable time for our health system. And not just the system, but the humans that are waking up each day and risking themselves to save people.
My wife was off all day today and spent most of the day in video conferences with Chinese medical professionals helping them with techniques and experiences, working on educational items in certain scenarios, etc. It's a lot ya'll.
Underemployment is the phrase. Yes, there are provisions for that.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
