Obama was an associate at one of the biggest Law Firms in the world prior to Politics. Obama would have done just fine in the Private Sector. Trump has looked for ways to profit his entire life; why you pretend it's outrageous to accuse him of attempting to further his wealth with his position, despite countless examples of him doing exactly that, is truly baffling.

A good old show that wasnt renewed that's on Netflix is Jericho. I enjoyed it for that genre of show.

Agreed but I am incredibly interested to know the effect on players and their outcomes. Closers are a great example; coming in the game in a big spot with fans going nuts and adrenaline pumping. It's going to be weird for players to not have any sort of pump up support. Fans; itll just be like watching the game in a bar with the sound off but for players... you can get adrenaline and etc from fans.

Hes been the biggest propagandist and misinformed absolutist in this thread since its creation.

Everyone on Twitter who says they're a doctor must be a doctor too, obviously.

wheres yoan to say "the president didnt tell anyone to do anything again." Potus is promoting medical nonsense. Fucking amazing.

RIA released last night that Boris was on a ventilator. The west denied it.... then today he was "sent to ICU as a precaution." Think RIA got this one right for once and the west is lying through their teeth. Not looking good for Boris. Shaking hands of corona patients on April 3Rd and bragging about it. Jaysus.

how could you possibly have an opinion on treatment or what this disease is when you're not a doctor?

And the dow keeps going up. The QE game is strong.

And the WH gave gag orders to the state to stop releasing daily UI updates because it was hurting the market. Lol

The virus is merely a symptom of a system that has been breaking over time via gig work and everyone becoming a fake contractor. A symptom of a system with a horrible wealth gap between middle management and the top. A symptom of middle class stagnation over 3 decades. American taxpayers just spent another $6000 to get $1200 in return and a bunch of corporate bailouts. Corporations get propped up while people are shamed for not saving months of savings when they dont get paid enough.

Didnt mean to come off snarky either, so apologies if I did. It's been a rough couple weeks for all of us and I've literally just been building models pertaining to this shit for about 15 hours a day.
-
Instead of expanded UI maybe, just maybe, what we could do is pay people a livable wage that allows them to save for times of hardship. Crazy town thoughts. Instead we'll continue to excuse away 4 trillion more in QE because it's not "my money" and bailouts that turned into buybacks, as well as fake trickle down economics, further depressing the wage gap and government dependency. The system is broken; throwing trillions at a broken system will likely just break something else. Until there is real change, all your doing is kicking the can down the road to the next bailout.
-
Yes, but you will miss too many companies and small businesses this way imo.
-
Exactly. Line of credit being a big one as well. So you have lines of credit, is the government paying your loans? How about terms and cap limits; most hospitality companies are running up against their terms this time of year due to revenue slow downs. They'll have to pay off their reps in full, im guessing, by reopen. Many of those costs are from 30-45 days prior to this bill passing. Who pays that?
-
Because there is no work to do. In addition, not every bill will be covered by this despite this portrayal on here that it will be. These businesses will be operating at a loss regardless of the assistance they receive and many of them cant afford that. Is a restaurant supposed to bring in servers and management if they're closed? Is a catering company supposed to bring in wait staff and event sales reps and etc with no events? Is Sysco supposed to keep all drivers on their payroll despite having 20% as many deliveries? If they do keep those people, is the government going to cover insurance renewals and on and on? Theres certainly stipulations within this bill; it's not "send us all your Bills and we'll give you some money." What if the company is already overleveraged on their property or etc, do they still qualify? Bailing out the service industry isnt as black and white as bailing out banks.
-
No. It's absolutely not. But they will tax you on it at years end if that wasnt excluded. Also, if there is no work to do theres no work to go back to. The fact that the only way you can receive any government assistance is by maintaining your payroll makes very little sense. Businesses need help reopening when the demand returns. This thing could last another 2 months for all we know. For a decent sized small business that's 2-4+ million in payroll obligations alone
-
I'm not going to spend all day going back and forth on this; businesses needed assistance reopening and etc when the market returned and the demand normalized. People needed assistance holding over until then. This bailout will not keep those businesses afloat. I know companies bleeding 2 million a week that generate about 125 million a year in revenues. There margins are small. The government is going to pay AP owed from prior to shut down? They're going to pay insurance renewals for the next 12 months for a company? This isn't as simple as we'll leave the lights on for you. Many small businesses in Chicago just paid property taxes and it's already a slow time of year. LOANS are not revenue. This is much more intricate than you are portraying it. Unemployment will approach 20% and it's because theres a demand shock. The government needed to support these businesses when it was time to reopen and assure no one lost their business because of this and support the people until then. They didnt need to tell the businesses to keep their employees to receive assistance; keep them with no business to actually execute.
-
You simply can't say QE does not effect taxpayers. I would argue it absolutely does even if it is not a direct cost/tax to a taxpayer.
-
Yeah so again, does simply doesn't benefit the industry with no revenue. So you have to pay your workers in addition to every other bill with no revenue. Many places have already furlough people so they'd be ineligible I assume. If you're a restaurant or a catering company or a hotel and no one is staying with you are you supposed to schedule staff as usual? How does that even work in a tipped based economy? Or a shift based economy? If there's no business to maintain or execute, what are your employees doing? I dont think this works out for that industry; jmo.

It will not be as simple as you are portraying it imo. It would be nice to he wrong about this, but I doubt this will be as free of strings as you believe.
