    what is the fear porn being used to force people back to work unsafe conditions? the stock price might crash? most of the poor are not effected by the price of stock, thus that fear porn doesn't work on them....

    Then explain to the class why you're not working? I mean, if there are jobs available, like you claim, the perfect way to own those dems would obviously be to work one (or two or even three) of those jobs and thumb your nose at their socialism and Covid hysteria.

    You should be bitching at the Trump Admin then. They were authorized about 1.2 trillion for small businesses.

    Where did it go?

    I think some are so wrapped in fear about their investments going down that they want to ignore the fear of those that have to work in environments that might put them in danger

    let people choose for themselves, both sides should not force the other

    We have a choice to have taxes taken but since I will only take it for the two week furlough I took a pass.

    You must be locked down, if you collect UE.
    If Hoosier means your state, that is Indiana. A republican state. Liberal state?

    I don't know if borrowed money counts as socialism.

    I don't, don't spread fake news about what I want, I think the virus has been here since late last year and the Trump shutdown was not necessary except in those States with high case counts, I think Trump ruined the economy for nothing with his shutdown

    Nope, it certainly does. I've heard multiple lefties claiming the bailouts as "socialism", and they're all trying to sell the idea that such a system would work wonders if we just adopted it permanently.

    There's absolutely no reason why the money machine should ever stop going BRRRRRRRR and pumping out socialist rainbows and unicorns forever and ever, and we'll all live happily ever after.

    Bailouts = Socialism.

    You heard it here first.

    I guess we're all socialists when the opportunity arises.

    It's a drop in the bucket compared to what I've paid in taxes over the years. And it's a loan, not a grant.
