Stimulus & Bailout Watch Thread

[bnew]

If anything, if you didn’t have a job before hand then you shouldn’t get shyt.

what about independent contractors and self-employed individuals?

 

[BlackBall]

you want to see some shyt let banks go under

Can’t/won’t ever happen

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

fukking Neo-Liberals and their goddamn means testing bullshyt.

Let everyone eat for fukks sake.
This is that Obama half-measure shyt.

I can understand putting an income cap on it, but $65k is a fairly low bar. My broad is a gotdamn teacher and she BARELY hits under that cutoff.

You have people that make over $65k but have jobs where they can't really WFH and aren't getting paid. You also have (young) people making $50k but won't have any issues working at home through the quarantine. Best way to handle it is to set a cutoff that's fairly high (somewhere between $200k and $400k). Anyone in that zone is well past "middle class" status and more in the "upper middle class" to borderline rich lane.

 

[Luke Cage]

THATS NOT WHAT YOU SAID.

YOUVE LITERALLY CHANGED YOUR shyt
3 DIFFERENT TIMES.

YOY HAVENT SAID ONE THING
ABOUT PPL ABOVE 65K
NOT GETTING IT.



​

I was specifically addressing the people like you who said people not paying taxes shouldn’t get it. Everybody else already made the point about 65k

 

[bnew]

Can we get some quotes? I have nothing to do at work and people are blaming folks for imaginary shyt.

I want receipts. If one of you cats post Breitbart...

shyt reeks of conservative propaganda, trying to hijack and reframe the narrative to appear like these are republican solutions.

 

[sinistersouth]

to make things worse for them?

NON TAX PAYERS WILL GET MONEY

This proves UBI is really needed. Even though I would change the way Yang want to implement it, he still deserves massive credit for bring this policy to the mainstream.

AND LOST THEIR JOBS.

That’s a job. They work through a 10-99.

In some ways it shows it value, but ultimately I think the focus should remain on making housing, healthcare affordable, and education affordable.

If it remains unchecked, no amount of UBI can fix that.

 

[Barlow]

It’s hilarious seeing nikkas who stunt on this bytch everyday pressed for a stack

 

[CHICAGO]

You the only nikka hollering because I repeated what an ABC reporter said yesterday on TV

I have nothing else to say here...go back to crossing your fingers.

OH REALLY?

​

Like I said man go back to crossing your fingers for a $1k help pay your bills and while you wish for that I know what I'll be wishing for...

Breh.

Republicans. REPUBLICANS. Have fully embraced SOCIALISM. Paying for kits, testing, paid leave, and giving out $2k to every family.

Shout out to #YangGang. But as much as people here despise him, you gotta give massive credit to #TheBern. He made this move to the Left extra mainstream.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

For a year now alot of y'all been preaching poverty and how "Lift All Boats" policies for everyone are a problem cuz we remain disadvantaged....







But now y'all want them to cut a check for EVERYONE?

 

[Pressure]

This is from politico

House Democrats have long said the payroll tax cut was a nonstarter but were also lukewarm to the idea of just doling out cash payments. When a former economic adviser to President Barack Obama raised the idea privately to Democrats last week, Pelosi shot down the suggestion saying she didn’t want to write checks to millionaires.



Romney was ahead of the Dems in calling for direct cash stimulus to individuals.

Kennedy made his proposal after Trump signaled for direct stimulus to individuals.

Cut the bullshyt spin.

Because we know democrats prefer means tested approaches.

They don't think millionaires need stimulus checks.

Neither do progressives. At least that was an argument a lot of Sanders supporters were making on the Coli with regard to education. Or is this different because you think it makes the dems look bad? Serious question.
