Republicans introduce Pro-COVID Bill

Despite its name, the HEALS Act largely aims to help businesses reopen and nudge people back to work, whether or not we have successfully curtailed the coronavirus’s spread. We’re still in the middle of a pandemic, and the GOP appears to have embraced the most hackneyed definition of insanity—doing the same thing over again, and hoping for different results—as its governing philosophy.
 
In ways large and small, the bill is designed to herd people back to work. It slashes unemployment benefits. It gives companies liability protections, so they don’t have to worry about lawsuits if they want to call back staff. It includes a new round of small-business subsidies that are mostly designed for outfits that stay open, whether or not it’s a good idea for public health. It encourages more people to eat out (and more restaurants to open their dining rooms) by letting companies fully expense business meals.

I'm not sure where you've gotten the idea that we're going to be able to just stop this virus.

Luckily, it's got significantly less than a 1 percent mortality rate so long as our hospitals don't get overrun. If that starts happening, you'll find the more skeptical of us far more willing to entertain reintroducing targeted lockdown measures to flatten the curve. Implying that there's some end-all solution just over the horizon is pie-in-the-sky thinking and shouldn't be the basis for our planning.

If you disagree so much, maybe you should do your part in fighting Covid 19 by staying locked in your house, refusing to go shopping, and not ordering anything online...

After all, if you buy ANYTHING, YOU are FORCING people to work during the middle of a pandemic!!!

Sorry, this link takes me to Slate, Slate is not a real news source. Link it to a real news source otherwise it is just left wing propaganda.

Wonderful.

Have you seen Sweden's numbers as of late (now that they got over the same mistake Cuomo made....killing a bunch of elderly).

Never closed down.

Wow....

If you need help reading the curve...let us know. We realize you are challenged.

What have they done differently.

Moron.

It's been explained 1,000 times and yet you stupidly thick fuckers don't understand.

You must know something about modern economics. Because what we are doing is not normal. Shutting down an economy and then restarting it. For some reason we could not do that with the Great Depression. But economics was truer then. Even though the fiat currency plied its disease to us and led our nation into World War 2. This after the infant fiat currency got us into World War 1. Just for fun.
 
From an anarchist standpoint--of the philosophical type--the First Stimulus offered a new kind of economic planning with no basis in oppression. The Parable of the Talents--Matthew 25: 14-30, takes the one talent from that labor, gives it to the top labor--and so casts 1/3 of that spending household: Into "Outer Darkness" The Matthew 20: 1-16 version of an economy: Provides an equal--we can say, $1200--to each part of that labor force--regardless if they had worked all the day or not. Not too many people grumbled about the $1200 in this economy of households, even.

The grumbling was about the $600 equal-amount, weekly unemployment enhancement. Put the stories in a box, literally. A fixed percentage problem is like a left right diagonal, from the bottom to the top. Little dots from the left-side, to the diagonal--5, two, and what amounts to zero--the one talent can't possibly keep up. That can be drawn in, showing the problem. Extending the dots to the right shows solution: Even the bottom part of the labor force can keep up! It can put its loot to the exchanges, invest in a store, start an online business, create collateral for school loans.

That started the Pond Scum death purveyor, GOP: RAGING AT THE COMPLETE LACK OF OPPRESSION IN STIMULUS ONE! It will be film at every hour of the day, for at least two, and maybe three weeks! The incentive structure of Stimulus One will be replaced with a barely surviving oppression as is usual--a cherished belief among those people. Proposal One, Stimulus two, is $200 instead. Then notice: Their Department of Homeland Security doesn't even use federal vehicles in Portland, but drives around in car rentals--just like all the feds using vehicles with no federal plates(?)! The concept is to incite and entrap! That is oppression!

The economy had been changed--even advancing over the Obama Biden Stimulus that it had plagiarized. Obama did bail-outs and made car purchases, instead. The anti-oppression was not made so evident, as in the recent Stimulus.

Less Oppression more incentives: Had been put in place. Regardless of borders--in that economy, then people can shop, create, produce, employ: Incentive, after incentive, after incentive. (Like Yul Brynner in "The King and I," not even(?)!)

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!
(Deut 23:19-20, even thought a source of the Holocaust of the Twentieth Century!)

In the absence of a cure, all we have is social distancing, masks and shutting down high risk activities

This bill does everything it can to force open opportunities to spread the virus
