Yes. So what? What do you think all those food workers in Telluride are supposed to live on now that their jobs are gone?
$2000 per person is $300 Billion. That's a big fat nothing.

Let private industry resolve it.
When you say people "are going to say no more"-------airlines are asking for $50Billion bailout. Wanna bet they get it....and my business gets nothing?
Not meant for you. Hope all is well. Was looking forward to seeing an AFA game. Maybe next year.LandM wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 8:15 pm TLD,
I am a capitalist with a big heart. So your post will not work on me nor the calls from Bernie people asking for a donation. You have to move on. My wife went through cancer, all I was told as the caregiver was to keep her moving, get her off the couch and keep her moving. Maybe we should adopt that as a country - keep moving.
We may also get the privilege of paying 14 days of sick leave out of our own pockets. Luckily this only affects businesses with 1 to 500 employees as the administration didn't want to hurt big businesses they've been meeting with in secret according to 6ft. So they carved out that loophole. But don't worry, if you have 1-50 employees, you may get a tax credit, most likely a year from now.... maybe. If you can stay in business that long.a fan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 8:37 pmWhen you say people "are going to say no more"-------airlines are asking for $50Billion bailout.

And other multinationals will get taxpayer bailouts, just like they did in 08. And small businesses and their employees? Nothing. We'll get nothing.
You can bank on it....

Has anyone seen the justification for $50B from the "airlines"? What could that possibly cover?Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 12:01 am I am disgusted by the airline industry ask of $50Bn. Aggressive even for them. Mostly having continued to mismanage their business since forever.
A number of airlines, like American Airlines, used their ample profits in recent years for expensive stock buy back programs. Those programs in no way invested in the companies’ future, nor did they save for a rainy day. Instead, the stock buy back programs raised stock prices leading to ... you guessed it ... higher executive compensation.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 12:01 am I am disgusted by the airline industry ask of $50Bn.

I think they're likely to be doing too little, nevertheless, despite their claims of "going big", but it's a first step.
And that's good.
On the medical side, they still look like deer in the head lights...everything is "never been done before" and "we're doing an incredible job"...
I appreciate the good wishes, thank you. As for visiting? We're closed, per Governor's order. No can do.LandM wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 4:45 am I guess all I can offer is good wishes and times will change and you will be happier at the end of the day.....just keep moving. We are stopping by AFA to see and speak to my best friend who is 6 feet under and then rub plaques of two other friends on the chapel wall then heading to Denver.....hope to meet you.
We're WAY past that already. All those shut down food workers?DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 12:33 pm
