Can this be applied retroactively? Maybe he said something that caused white guys to dress up in white sheets and cones to burn crosses and kill black folks.

Now I know why the sudden lynchings against local Chinese folk is happening. Do you happen to know what he said to cause the rush to hoard toilet paper?

As a constitutionalist, I hate the idea of the government borrowing or printing money and giving it away. The government isn't your mother's tit.
I also don't like the message that the government's job is to guarantee you don't skin your knee when you do stupid things like choosing to live hand to mouth. I have only met a few people ever who couldn't make better choices and live on less money. Most could make more money if they applied themselves, too. Everyone should be prepared for hiccups so they can help both themselves and others.
America is the land of self-reliance and rugged individualism. It is the land of opportunity, not government intervention.
It is also a terrible precedent to give money to people who don't have to repay it. Thanks, President Johnson.

I'm about to write the "keep this letter from the Department of Homeland Security on your person at all times while travelling to or from work, or otherwise on station business" note to my employees.
I can't help but think of the infamous Blauschein card...

Joe, you should duplicate the style of this identity card, including the black and white photo looking slightly to the side and not smiling. Use a stylized version the network logo on the front, possibly involving a duck.

As much as the idea amuses me, within the confines of this small social club which we claim is somehow about cars, no, I don't think that would be a good idea.
