$2000 a month Stimulus for the next 6 months Bill in the works!!!

If this virus remains indestructible, the the AOC Team will gain momentum and possibly rise to power. Biden has been a China sympathizer for 45 years on the public dole, and Trump has not shown the ability to insure that people in need are treated the same as people in greed. Too many wrong hands in the stimulus $, not that Pelosi or Bernie gives a crap. That only leaves AOC.

Doesn't a lengthy and generous unemployment benefit make more sense? If they give this stimulus money to people still working and making money it makes zero sense to me.

Agree with this. I got a nice check last week, but honestly didnt need it(yet). Would make more sense to buffer the unemployment and subsidize closed businesses

I have been helping my wife see emergency patients at her dental office. The PPE standards have gone up a little, but not much above normal for dentists who are used to dealing with aerosols all the time. The main issue medical providers are running into is most of them wouldn't wear masks until this came around and are now having to take precautions that dentists take all the time and are going a little over the top. I did install some UV-C lights in her air ducts, but that's just because I am an engineer and it made more sense than changing out the motors with high static motors and redoing the ductwork to allow for 4" thick HEPA filters. The droplets everyone is worried about are 5-10 microns in size, which are easily filtered by even basic masks (but we have obtained some N95s for the peace of mind of our staff and patients). The 0.3 micron comparisons that the press has run with claiming that homemade masks only filter 2% of the particles is not based in science and is purely alarmist.

The longer this keeps going on (the virus), the better for me. Keep the checks flowing folks. First, I would like to thank all of the protesters in states like Michigan who are helping my dream become a reality. It almost makes me want to vote for Trump because he's going to make me filthy rich with all of his screw-ups.

The argument for giving everyone a check is for the stimulus effect, but it's misguided because you can't stimulate industries that are shut down, even if you must consider the overly-simplistic Keynesian circular flow model, which is hard to get away from because it's simplicity is so easy for lay persons to understand.

Now do corporate welfare.

Maybe I'm ruining the joke, but i don't think the checks are going to keep going

Tests showed that most people put the masks on wrong so that 80% of whatever the test protocol used to simulate breath or coughs or sneezes got around and under the masks.

Where do you expect everyone to spend all this cash if all the businesses are shut down???

You want a "stimulus" for the economy, try not slamming the brakes on it. This is empty rhetoric and posturing, will never happen, and would be absolutely ridiculous if it did.

GOP shut this down. They like, “2k a month? Nah we opening up!”

ITS A STIMULUS CHECK, SPEND IT A SMALL BUSINESS WHEN THEY RE-OPEN. So sick of rich people bragging and virtue signalling how they dont need it.

Spend it on Ebay. Spend it on a new freaking car, yes you can still buy those.

Yessir more free money

There are already tons of workers at low wage jobs, begging to be unemployed, filing complaints to health departments about their business being open, BECAUSE, THEY MAKE WAY MORE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT AND UP TO $600 ADDITIONAL EACH WEEK as it is. Paying everyone is the only fair solution.

Paying everyone is the only fair solution?

Why? Take a professional married couple who are both working from home and still getting well paid, why send them more money?

Stay in Europe. Thank you.

I'd prefer job guarantees where 80% of salary under a certain threshold is paid through the business to the workers to preserve their jobs while the business cannot operate. They have done that in Europe and it means that they aren't going to have 30% unemployment like we will. It worked in the last recession, where many European countries were able to keep massive unemployment spikes from happening. When you have a job and are paid for it while you are unable to work because of a national crisis like this, it gives a sense at least of belonging and security in the knowledge that you will have a job when the country opens up again, and it results in significant long-term benefits to the nation.

Would you being willing to be paid less in good times if the difference is being set aside as insurance to keep paying you in bad times?
