If death rates are falling and states are reopening, which elements of this bill are critically important? My guess is that it will soon be forgotten.
Of course it is a given that whatever the 2 moronic parties eventually agree on, it will be 50% waste and corruption.

empty shelf in stores before. I did more grocery shopping in the last 2 months than I did in last 10 years. From my personal experiences the production, not demand, is a serious issue at this moment.

Plenty of cheap labor for greedy corporations in Mexico, if we invested there it'd be two birds, one stone.

Not sure where you got that I wanted command and control, I'll just assume you're in one of those obstinate moods that happens every 2.8 days.

I used to be a big free market guy. But, I'm not sure we will outlast China if we don't counter them with more proactive measures. We can stand on pure free market principles as China destroys us, but maybe there is a better play. I think we should at least consider our options.

Pelosi and McConnell both report to Wall Street, there is no real opposition party. If the Democrats were truly progressive, they would have wanted most of the first stimulus to go to main street, instead they came together with their Republican brothers like they have for the past 30 years and bailed out their Wall Street bosses.

Too many political careers at stake not to have one.
