Are you honestly surprised? With all the years arguing with Foo and everyone else about politics over here, I'd figure you'd know this shit by now. Everything's a shitshow. Always has been, always will be.showa58taro wrote:Surely that’s millions if not tens of millions of people underemployed or unemployed in the coming months? That’s not sustainable for any civilized nation! What is the $2tn going to if not to help ensure businesses don’t lay off staff and cause more financial downturn? And surely loads of you get insurance through companies, so this adds uninsured people to a Pandemic. 200,000 dead seems low in that outcome.

But supposedly we can. I'm sure there's enough of a spaghetti mess to make it difficult to apply that will continue to hurt the general public. The small business owners have to fill it out, so it's up in the air right now for us if the owner can get it through or not.
Just used up the last of my vacation time I saved up to help out today.
