Yavin4's JournalGov. Cuomo is making Trump look foolish
He's doing a master class on how to lead through a crisis.
Now, do you understand why healthcare is a human right?
You can eat right, exercise, not smoke, not drink, not do drugs, be a vegan. You can do all of that and still get sick and possibly die from a disease that you had no control over. There was nothing that you could have done to prevent you from getting the disease other than being a human.
And now, thousands of people may be facing huge medical bills over something that they had no control over, and if the Republicans get their way, they won't be able to get health insurance in the future because it's a pre-existing condition.
We all have a human right to healthcare because we cannot control every threat affecting our health.
Dear Bernie, your colleagues have to make the tough choices so that you don't have to.
We all know that, try as the Dems might, some sort of cop orate bailout is going to happen with this stimulus package but that's what happens when you are forced to negotiate with Satan. It's either go with some sort of bailout or no stimulus at all which the Republicans are okay with.
It's called making a tough choice, but not for Bernie. He gets to ride above it all on his personal, purity cloud, and his supporters will point to this and say, "see Bernie sticks to his beliefs while the corporate Dems sell out".
It's really hard asking a Dem to vote against money for our beleaguered health care system just so that they can pass Matt Taibi's purity test.
Order of who should get Fed stimulus money:
1. Healthcare providers, supplies, and facilities.
2. Individuals and Families
3. State governments
4. Small businesses (mostly through 0% loans)
5. Necessary industries like airlines, autos (again, mostly through 0% loans)
Any stimulus money used for stock buy backs or bonuses means the CEO and executives go to jail.
What if Biden (via video) did a joint press conference with Govs. Cuomo and Newsome?
And just detail the things that the Federal govt. should do.
Would that be too much?
Yes. Some "un-derserving" people will get a check from the govt. So what.
And, they may spend it on alcohol. Again, so what. Every dollar that the government sends out will be spent. And, every spent dollar keeps multiple people employed.
So, let's say they buy booze. Okay, the liquor store owner makes a sale and stays open. S/he pays their distributor to re-stock inventory. That distributor pays truck drivers to deliver the booze and rent on a warehouse to store the booze. They then pay the maker for more inventory. The booze maker pays their employees. And on and on and on.
Ocasio-Cortez: We need to send out checks to everybody, even the rich
She told CNN State of the Union host Jake Tapper on Sunday morning that she hears the common argument: Why you are going to give a check to Bill Gates? But she said that determining who deserves what would create unnecessary red tape that can be dealt with once this is over.
She is 100% correct on this. Cannot re-state this enough. Get money into the hands of everyone as soon as possible.

Why does Trump over use the phrase, "...never seen before"?
As in, "like you've never seen before" or "no one has never seen before"? Can someone explain?
A detailed timeline of Trumps' lies on covid-19 (DailyKos)
He didnt stop there.
January 24: It will all work out well.
January 28: Trump retweeted One America News claiming Johnson & Johnson was creating a vaccine.
January 30: We have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this momentfive. And those people are all recuperating successfully.
January 31, Trump limited air travel by foreigners who had recently traveled to China. Hes endlessly bragged about that move, but he didnt accompany it with any other serious measures to contain COVID-19 in the U.S.
February 2: Well, we pretty much shut it down coming in from China, Trump claims in an interview with Sean Hannity.
February 10, with the U.S. drastically behind on testing: Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.
