      Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

      With the new announcement, my brother-in-law is completely closing his bar/restaurant until May 1. He had been open for take-out orders during the prior social distancing orders, but he can’t keep doing it through May 1. He’s hemorrhaging cash trying to keep some of his staff working. If he continued operating like this, he’d be permanently shuttered by EOM.

      Cast are a few more sticks into the fires of unemployment insurance.

They can always go to the banks if they need money, like everybody else.

          Money for hospitals, first responders, equipment and supplies. Companies can't lay people off or force them to take extended leave. They continue to pay them their salaries, government reimburses.

          Simple, clean, immediate help and economic stimulus.

          The "economy", meaning the Dow, will snap back, it always does. It may take a while, but it will. That's not the priority here. It may be the priority for someone's re-election, but that's not a priority here either. Taking care of the sick and the out of work is.
          Good God all of this!

                Should have included money for Medicare, Medicaid, and perhaps a short term boost to SS incomes.

                Testing and treatment for the virus free, government reimburses hospitals. Insurance companies suck it. All of that can't cost more than 2 trillion. And if it does, then it does.

                  My USG customer just specified that anyone returning from the NYC metro area must self-isolate for 14 days before entering a USG facility.

                  That's going to have a huge impact if it applies across the whole government. As in, rock-ribbed fiscal conservatives will start not getting their welfare checks on time.

                      He can do it, too. He's not going to be the nominee so he won't have to defend it. If the cons generate enough blowback Biden can disavow it.

                      He is actually perfectly placed to take one for the country. It's also exactly the sort of thing he would do.

                      Bernie may be able to help people far more with this than anything he could have done as President with a scaredycat Congress.

                          This is exactly what I said to my gf. Bernie has zero to lose and is in the power position if he plays it right. This is when the Fredumb Caucus used to blow up deals for their own side and get everything they want. Time for the Progressive Wing to play hard ball and save the country. (not to mention this would be a massive shot in the arm for the movement)

                          He can take the shot Biden cant. Just like Biden could take the "Gay Marriage" bullet before Obama could. Bernie and the Progressives could make out like bandits just by doing the right thing here.
