You didn't "all" get stimulus checks Ray. Some people waited for months for their $1200 and are still
Millions are going to lose their unemployment, thanks to the Trump/GOP bulshit.
Read and weep for all those who are effected by this bullshit incompetence!
A gap in federal unemployment benefits is now unavoidable. Here’s why.

Not paying people more to not work than to work is going to put a kink in your plan to wreck the economy for November 3, huh?
I cannot believe the idiocy of the right. If this is what you truly believe is happening, you deserve to go broke and have your country destroyed. The economy is ALREADY WRECKED.
People cannot go back to work until YOU GET THE FUCKING VIRUS UNDER CONTROL.
THE REST OF THE FIRST WORLD HAS MANAGED TO DO IT. AMERICANS IDIOTS CONTINUE TO THINK THEY CAN FORCE PEOPLE TO RETURN TO WORK OR SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL WHILE A PANDEMIC RAGES.
THIS IS INSANITY.
Yes, your plan is to wreck the economy ... until November 3. This is not new information. The rest is your ridiculous hysteria over a virus that kills less than 1% of the people and is little threat to children. Screaming about it just shows all the more what a whack job you are.
Yes, those deaths are tragic. But so are is the domestic violence, suicides, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, destruction of lives, businesses and retirements and the developmental impact of children we're suffering by keeping us caged up.
I've pointed this out to you a bunch of times at this point and you keep ignoring it. Stop just being a hysterical woman running in circles and screaming like your hair is on fire and engage in discussion by actually addressing my points on the other side. Grow the fuck up. You're hysterical. I got it
It is utterly laughable that you're claiming massive rates of "domestic violence, suicide, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, the destruction of lives and businesses and returedment and developmental impact on children" on no evidence, and you're calling ME hysterical.
No one is "caged up". And if you are, you are utterly lacking in imagination. People were out walking their dogs, cutting their lawns, working in their gardens, and generally living their lives, throughout the shut down. They just did it with their immediate familys. Many people have said that they've finally gotten a lot of things done around the house they never had time for when they were working.
AND BECAUSE WE HAVE COMPETENT GOVERNANCE, AND WE ACTUALLY LOCKED DOWN, AND STAYED LOCKED DOWN, WE'RE SAFELY STAGE 3 OPEN TODAY. WE HAD 430 NEW CASES YESTERDAY. YOU HAD NEARLY 70,000.
Your federal government response has been a clusterfuck since day one and has done nothing to shut the virus down, but is now everything possible to push helpless low wage workers, with no health insurance, back into the work force with no protections.
Let's calculate the cost to the economy of 70,000 people per day testing positive, in perpetuity, shall we. Because it's NOT just the number of people dying which is problematic, it's the impact of tens of thousands of people getting sick every day that is the problem.
20% of those who test postive get REALLY sick and require hospitalization. That's 14,000 people per day who will require hospitalization. When they go to hospital, they're in hospital for weeks, so you're not churning beds quickly. So how long will it be before you have no beds left in hospitals? Texas, Florida and Arizona are already there. If 14,000 people are going to hospital every day and staying for weeks, who is paying for their treatment - which is currently around $1 milllion per patient, if they survive? Or are you just going to stop treating them as well.
If 70,000 people test positive every day for a year, that's 25.1 million sick people per year, and 5.1 million hospitalizations based on a 20% hospitalization rate. You only have 1 million hospital beds in total. Where are going to put them, and who is going to care for them in hospital, because health care workers are in crisis.
You're all hysterical about people getting depressed and suicidal and yet you ignore the impact on health care workers who have to deal with all of these really sick people. Health care workers are dying while caring for the sick.
Nearly 600 US health care workers have died of COVID-19
The tally includes hospital janitors, administrators and nursing home workers.abcnews.go.com
Health care workers are afraid to go home and spend time with their families. You worry about people being "caged up", what is happening to health care workers who are being pushed to the breaking point, sobbing on YouTube about how difficult it is to deal with this virus. Who in their right mind is going to want to be a doctor or a nurse after this? How many will people will leave the health care professions after this?
Currently, 6.7% of those who test positive in the USA, die. Not 1%. You have 2,190,000 closed cases, and 147,000 of those people have died. that's 6.7% of closed cases, not 1%. If 70,000 people get sick every day for a year, 5.1 million are hospitalized, and 342,000 Americans will die.
Your position ignores all of these facts and numbers, and then claims that I'm hysterical.
Leftists crack me up. You run around in a constant hysterical fit, then you lecture people as if you're somehow balanced.
The damage done by the lockdown far outweighs the benefit. But you not only know that, it's your goal
Again, I have given you facts and figures, and you call ME hysterical.
Canadians often say that someone's heart is as cold as a "Bay Street banker" or a "Bay Street lawyer". Bay Street lawyers and bankers are consider to be the least emotional people in the country. I've been both a Bay Street banker and a Bay Street law clerk. My professional career has always required me to back up my assertions with dispassionate analysis, including facts, figures, and links to statutes and laws.
My banking background required me to parse financial statements looking for weaknesses - rate of turnover, age of receiveables, industry standards for costs, gross profit margins, ratio of costs to profits.
I'm not the one making false claims here. I'm not the one who is hysterically claiming that more damage will be done to the country by shutting down than opening up. I'm the cold hearted analyst giving you the facts and why opening up and letting the virus run will cost your economy far more money than shutting down.
You haven't even tried to refute any of it. You just keep calling me hysterical.
When you deny that domestic violence, depression, suicides, drug an alcohol abuse are up and people are losing their businesses, retirement accounts and economic well being and that kids aren't harmed by being locked up at home, you're either a liar or stupid as all get out. Which is it?
