Helping the needy? Show me where Dems have helped the “needy”. You actually seem to think they give two shits about anyone when in reality it all about the vote. You want to help the needy and for people to pay their rents, do the right thing and fully open back the economies in states that refuse too. This should have been done months ago, better yet it should have never been closed.
But no, let’s have a $1.9 trillion package to bail out the Dem ran states and cities that were waaaay financially in the shitter long before this #scamdemic and then throw more money at a fake “climate crisis” then raise the fuck out of our taxes to help pay it back...yeah, great idea.
Dude, not trying to get in some Blue vs. Red crap, it's pointless. I could discuss a random point with you or Straw and get the same extreme responses. I am not interested in that.
It's not productive and it only promotes the divide. Let's talk about what we might agree on.
What I am talking about (Red vs. Blue blabber not wanted) is that we should help the needy in the most effective way possible.
Secondly, I don't know that opening the economy early was the right thing to do any more than I know if making masks mandatory from the beginning would have curbed the spread enough for us to open it up early.
What I do know is small businesses are disappearing and it's the most alarming thing in the pandemic aside from 400K+ dying. It's as if, this pandemic was a gift to large companies because it sped up the decline of small businesses.
I also question the principle of this 2000/mo and rent forgiveness. How will it affect us short and long term?
That all being said, I am not too affected by COVID as far as income. But if I was, and I lost my job, and was busting my ass trying to find one and couldn't I would welcome that $2000/mo and free rent regardless of whether I was the staunchest Conservative or not. And don't kid yourself, you won't see many people who were making less than 100k per year refuse that money.
