Millions are going to lose their unemployment, thanks to the Trump/GOP bulshit.
State offices will need weeks to reprogram their systems to account for an extension of the $600 weekly federal payments that expire on Saturday.

Read and weep for all those who are effected by this bullshit incompetence!
Not paying people more to not work than to work is going to put a kink in your plan to wreck the economy for November 3, huh?
I cannot believe the idiocy of the right. If this is what you truly believe is happening, you deserve to go broke and have your country destroyed. The economy is ALREADY WRECKED.
People cannot go back to work until
YOU GET THE ******* VIRUS UNDER CONTROL.
THE REST OF THE FIRST WORLD HAS MANAGED TO DO IT. AMERICANS IDIOTS CONTINUE TO THINK THEY CAN FORCE PEOPLE TO RETURN TO WORK OR SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL WHILE A PANDEMIC RAGES.
THIS IS INSANITY.
Under control was defined by the CDC is preventing hospitals from being overwhelmed. That has been done and is still the case.
Yep. That was the plan when we shut down. All Democrats are doing now is pouncing and attacking, they oppose any plan that doesn't wreck the economy. Any price to win in November!
You haven't done anything of the kind. New York hospitals were completely overwhelmed. Hospitals in Arizona, Texas and Florida are completely overwhelmed right now. Dr. Birx was on TV today saying that the USA now has "3 New Yorks right now".
What is the price of 70,000 new cases every day, with 14,000 of them requiring hospital admissions? Three months of care for those 14,000?
This doesn't contradict that the original plan was to flatten the hospitalization curve to not overwhelm the medical system. It was realized at the time there would be local flareups to deal with. Which is all you're saying and doesn't contradict the plan
There was more to it than just "flatteneing the curve". The goal was to flatten the curve, and
PREPARE FOR A RETURN OF THE VIRUS IN THE FALL.
You never FLATTENED the curve. You had a slight dip in cases and hospitalizations, but the curve has gone ever upward. New York flattened the curve. They had 108 new cases yesterday. But nationally, you're seeing record numbers of cases, hospitals overwhelmed and deaths are increasing. California, Texas and Florida are shutting down - again, not opening up, and outbreaks are flaring in other states as well.
Certainly in Texas, Arizona and Florida NOTHING was done to prepare. All of these states are running out of PPE, testing supplies, and and are in complete chaos. Why weren't they better prepared. California, at least had the good sense to re-supply hospitals, expand testing, and they're handling their increase in cases a whole lot better than the other three.
What you have is three Republican governors who followed Donald Trump's advice and ignored the scientists. They didn't want to do anything to run counter to what Trump was saying - no mask mandate, re-opening early, and who refused to prepare for any outbreak at all.
20 states fully re-opened, despite the fact that none of them met the White House guidelines for Stage 1 re-opening. The didn't follow the guidelines for safe re-opening which came from the scientists, and followed Trump's urging to re-open NOW.
