meanwhile Nancy's Bill includes:
- provisions for conducting risk-limiting audits of results of elections
- includes sections about paid studies of “pay equity” between “racial and ethnic minorities” and their “white counterparts,” as well as a “comparison of pay between and women for similar roles and assignments.”
- collect “Corporate board data, including total number of board members, gender, race, and ethnic identity of board members.”
- Provisions for early voting and same-day voter registration,
- airlines “provide passengers with information regarding greenhouse gas emissions resulting from each individual flight.”
- includes retirement security for journalists and bailout for local newspapers, many which already charge readers a substantial monthly fee to read articles.
You mean because the bill basically writes the top 1% an open check and with some crumbs for the middle and low class that Trump will get back with further increase in tariffs? An average person making 40k a year spends 12-1500 on tarrifs. Who gives a **** that my "taxes" went down 300-400 bucks in the end?

Are you trying to insinuate that Nancy's
The "republican" bill went through 5 bipartisan committees before it went to the floor after 48 hours of rigourous debate and compromise between parties. Nancy flew in from CA, and handed Americans a bunch of progressive bullshit that is not designed to help anyone.
In the "open check" bill, it limited excutive compensation to $425,000, restricted stock buybacks, and maintained payrolls until the loans are paid back. Read that again: the loans must be repaid. But you know, those companies could just fire their employees instead of continuing to employ and pay them...almost like this bill was designed as a zero-interest loan program to compensate businesses harmed by government lockdown to keep the economy alive.

According to MSNBC host Chris Hayes, conservatives, Republicans and Donald Trump are ready to kill a "million" senior citizens as a way of saving the economy from the coronavirus.
Hayes said, "And now, after about a week of that economic dislocation, as we continue to climb up the exponential curve of cases and of deaths, the President is now listening to voices on the right that say, 'Really, what's a million seniors when you're thinking about the whole economy?'"
He added, "This has been a central conservative, right wing idea forever. It's the same reason there are arguments for why we don't need clean air regulations, even if tens of thousands of people die every year of lung disease from additional pollution. It's just now it's being applied in this extreme case in the midst of a global pandemic and a growing exponential curve."

Does giving a family $3k really matter if they still don't have a job, or somewhere else to get one in a month?

I would hate to be a blue collar democrat worker in PA and live in a Hyman Properties building and rely on the Democrats I put into office to help me in my time of need right now.

Bro. It's a tactic to get you to do your own research, read, and learn.

Ah, so they require that people pay rent in exchange for not being kicked out?
Man, that's rough. Never heard of a landlord who had that policy before.
Buy, so little of what you post is worth my time. Can you imagine how little I'd get done in a day if I tracked down every vague or misleading thing you posted in this thread?
Looks like that has happened:
Man, that's rough. Never heard of a landlord who had that policy before.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled last week that no one can be evicted, ejected or otherwise displaced from a home because of failure to make rent or mortgage payments during a court shutdown, which will extend through at least April 3.
