Yes, I do think there are 'idiots' on both extremes.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 7:53 amYou did a nice job of entering the MD lax spin zone. They may come across as idiots to you. I am certain to them they are exercising their rights under the 1st amendment. They are no different than many other say... far left protesters that express their anger just as aggressively and harshly. You do remember those folks blocking traffic and shouting " pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon" Were they also idiots in your esteemed opinion? When people want to take to the streets and protest, we may BOTH think them all to be idiots. Have you thought of what the alternative is? We could be living in a country where none of these "idiots" could protest without being thrown in jail. Would that make you feel better. i just found it odd for Mr I'm so temperate Mr moderate to suddenly become so judgemental. You do understand to those of us who read you preaching your gospel to us all every day you are sounding way out of character for who you claim to be.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 7:21 amHave you heard some of these idiots?

Sitting waiting.
Piddly amount in the grand scheme of things, but interesting that there's no discernible movement. BofA's local bankers know nothing, the chat line knows nothing about individual loans, so the answer is just to sit tight.
I agree, many small businesses may have struggled with the forms for a few days...BofA's portal was straightforward, but then the doc submission didn't match the original described formula, so you had to parse that out. And have the docs ready to roll. We did, but not so sure mom and pops would be quite so organized.
Given some of the idiots we see on TV protesting, gotta imagine many would get a brain freeze looking at the forms.
"Given some of the idiots we see on TV protesting, gotta imagine many would get a brain freeze looking at the forms."
Those are some pretty harsh words from our resident life long Republican champion of moderation. If i didn't know you better it sounds like you are being...
Soon it will be time to enter the MD lax spin zone.
But worse than idiots, they are knowingly endangering others.
You want "moderate'? ok, not all of the protestors were idiots. Nor were all knowingly endangering others, as some were wearing masks, some were also not leaving their cars and staying distant from others. But they certainly appeared to be the minority.
But, yeah, I imagine the idiots among them would get a brain freeze looking at the forms. Making a sign or obtaining Trump campaign material, putting on some military style clothes, honking your horn, yelling at each other, chanting 'lock her up'...these are all pretty simple to do...filling out those forms correctly requires real concentration. I can understand why that could be frustrating!
I'm not complimenting the forms! They were a pain.
And that's before hearing that the money ran out...
You ever actually listened to some of these knuckleheads (either side) spew really stupid things, conspiracy theories, etc?
Truly deranged.
Ask a few very simple civics questions, history questions, and watch the eyes glaze over and dumb answers roll out...again, both extremes.
There are also 'idiots' on both extremes and, hey, some 'moderates', who would have trouble tying their own shoe laces, much less filling out these forms.
My comment was with regard to folks protesting about being angry that the economy being shut down and their likelihood of actually having a beef about not being able to access the financial support more easily during this period.
That beef is legit, IMO.
Endangering others is not.
Come on, my man. Give us the full quote.
