Construction is essential because of home and infrastructure repairs. Especially as storm season ramps up in the Midwest (tornado season here in Oklahoma), idled and laid off construction crews means more misery down the line.

“Who’s brain dead again?”

“H1N1 killed 12,000 people in the U.S. before 0bama declared a national state of emergency. Get off your high horse.”

I love how you idiots are trying to retroactively spin Cadet Bone Spurs into somehow taking Covid-19 seriously before the bodies started piling up. He banned flights from China too late. At that point it was stupid - there was already an outbreak in Seattle, and Covid-19 was spreading through the country.

You’re the idiot that claims Barry Switzer took over for Jimmy Johnson in 1994 and won a Super Bowl all by himself.

Obama was the reason why the economy was doing so well. The US economy had been steadily creating jobs at a good clip without a hiccup since 2010. That’s the hand of a steady leader who turned around the Great Recession.

They cost $30,000 because ventilators have to be failure tested to the extreme. If a car throws a check engine light and starts sputtering, you pull over to the side of the road. If a ventilator stops working correctly, somebody’s son or daughter dies.

You want to quit making this political? Tell your idiot president to shut the fuck up about what he doesn’t know about. There are nothing but anecdotal reports that say Plaquenil and a Z-Pak are helpful in treating Covid-19, and anecdotal reports are less helpful than political polling. I can make anecdotal reports…

That’s really not fair. I’m a doctor in a fairly large Midwestern hospital, and we have a weekly rotation for who’s assigned to see potential Covid-19 cases. Spread out the risk, so it’s not just one person or a few people shouldering it, but also don’t expose everyone at once.

Why would it be 3? Does Europe have 2 separate competitors to Airbus? To fly the same number of airplanes with the same number of passengers around will take approximately the same number of employees, whether they are now federal employees or private.

“You know what happens to individual income tax returns if people can’t find work, right?”

Tax revenues will tank. But that is why it’s best to let the “too big to fail” corporations fail and bail out the workers, until new, smaller, and more diverse companies take their place.

If by “increase productivity” you mean hundreds of billions of dollars of stock buybacks to hit the C-suite executive targets and make stockholders richer, then yes, you are correct.

Instead of bailing out billion dollar corporations run by an incompetent board and C-suite officers - usually with the excuse of, “oh no! what about the jobs of the ordinary people!” let me offer two different suggestions.

So far in the last 12 years the “private sector” has done a super shitty job of doing it themselves with little supervision.  Maybe they should let some grown-ups not tied to a quarterly earnings report take charge for once.

Yes! If their sole excuse to bail out an idiot corporation is “what about all those jobs?” then help the workers. Don’t help the idiot corporation.
