@Beth Sure. A society is not stronger than the psyche of the individuals which make it up. Under a certain cutoff any small strain will cause structural damage.
Trump gave billions in aid to CDC and FDNA in March. He tried to get more spending passed but Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell filibustered any attempt to get more stimulus payments out.
That whole issue would have been mitigated if the war powers act was used to put old people in a hotel. The worst place for a recovered patient to stay is a hospital due to picking up diseases in the hospital @Adam135 it’s been framed as cummo forced old people to go to nursing homes instead of these old people had no where to go so the nursing homes had to take them back. They weren’t equipped with the ppe and needed equipment because again we were short on those things.
@Adam135 he also used most of that money for non venerable big business which is why it was blocked. They were trying to reallocated to people and small business rather than big business
@Beth again that is a issue that could have been mitigated with stimulus and people actually adhering to safety measures. I mean most of your box stores are doing fine. Your local bait shop or whatever is doing fine. Gyms have a harder time
You know why it was delayed? Back in March when he was trying to pass a bill that would given 2 billion to CDC and FDNA, Pelosi instead forced through a bill on banning flavored e-cigs, pushing the other bill by about two weeks back.
The House passed a bill in May ahead of the CARES act ending. It was more than the Senate wanted to do, but the refused to pass their own, which would have allowed it to go to committee for a compromise.
@Adam135 I’m aware of the republican talking points , I’m addressing where the money was going in trumps bill which was non vulnerable big business
I'm not condoning the aid given to big businesses, quite against it, but there were very few people in either chamber that fought for more stimulus payments.
