Can someone red pill me on the rumor that Trump is going to give out YangBux? Is it fake news or legit?

We jumped down Obamas throat for doing this. A spade is still a spade in my book. Either the taxes will have to be raised, or spending will have to be cut, or money will have to be printed devaluing the dollar.

Though I did hear a rumor that Trump is in talks with putting the dollar back on the gold standard. I don't know if there's any merit to this, but he'd be a hero if he did.

Allow me to explain:

  1. large corp can work from home

  2. Some industries are still working with limited staff ,rest laid off

  3. restaurant workers, service industry, airlines, health care workers all going to have massive lay offs coming.. and even if they don't lose their job they will not get paid

  4. This is a 9/11 event, we must save lives and save the country

  5. It will take around months to complete, during that time if Trump lets these people go without money or idea of their future everyone is going to flip their shit

  6. stories like during Obama years will be everywhere, who lost their homes, who died because they didn't have money for medication, food,etc..

  7. Trump is working with Steve to SAVE the big industries AND save the public at the same time for A LIMITED time during this NATIONAL EMERGENCY

  8. Trump steals their thunder, limits the scope, frees the market, frees the people of panic, stocks the shelves

  9. People will then be better position to spend after this is over

  10. Trump wins..

  • if he doesn't he is fucked to high heaven and the media will rip him to shreds over all the Americans that suffer without any money or way to work.

Trump will avoid the snake, and the MSDNC only have two choices, praise him or argue against their own policies and piss the people off big time

Complicated business. Trump is turning this globalist Chinese attack to his/our advantage.

  1. Healthcare workers aren't getting laid off. They're forced to report for work as "essential services"

I meant dealing with childcare, many can't leave home without it

Health care will take a hit as well.

First of all, it will be disrupted by staff getting virus exposure and having to sit out for 14 days each time. Example: I travelled 9 days ago before all this crap started and now have to sit out and wait until my 14 days are up.

Also nobody is having anything elective done. Colonoscopies, routine visits, hip replacements, basic outpatient things, dental work, elective surgery, cancer surveillance work, etc. everyone is putting it all on hold. Nobody is giving blood so we are facing immediate blood shortages.

Sure the intensive care specialists and ED docs will be busy. Everybody else -not so much.

I don't think that counts as "healthcare taking a hit." More healthcare workers are likely to catch it than anyone else, of course. This will further reduce our capacity, resulting in OT. Postponing elective surgeries is largely about freeing up respirators. Hopefully we don't enter a phase where we don't have enough pulmonary therapists; that would be ... bad. As in, picking which large groups of people to let die while focusing available resources on those that can be saved. DJT may have to play god-emperor, deciding who lives and who dies. Not sure he could recover from that..

It's not reasonable to expect layoffs in healthcare while this remains a possible scenario. This imbalance of supply also might be why orders for more respirators haven't been placed; they already realize the real shortage is in respiratory therapists. Hopefully they're focusing on making sure they're all trained in best practices for these extreme circumstances, which can reduce deaths while on respirator from 41/100 to 16/100. This is serious!

Broke: Printing free money while near-permanently shriveling economic expansion and hope for the future

Woke: Brief gimmedats during WuFlu so we can enact shocking economic explosion never before imagined

He is considering a one time $1,000 distribution to help people get through the pandemic, not YankBux, not UBI.

This is what Mnuchin said this morning. You are the only other person I've seen make the direct link to Andrew Yang's failed UBI, other than myself.

Fed has been printing USD nonstop ("Quantitative easing") far longer than they admit. HORRIBLE policy!!

GDP is the engine of the US economy. Give it some gas and put it in gear! Every man woman and child in the US needs a supply of chloroquine. Knocks Wuhan virus out!
