Cant Trump Refuse to Pay Congress and Senate? Pull their pay for the rest of the year and Have it go toward the stimulus. Puglosi coul;d take the hit but the New younger ones cant. Then, watch how fast this gets cleared up

can we stop with that? 95% of their income comes from shit like speaking fees, kickbacks, book deals, etc. they wouldn't even notice if their salaries vanished.

honestly any income beyond their salaries should be taxed at 100%. that would end the corruption fast.

Many Many are not famous. So not they do not. Many live paycheck to paycheck. The younger unknown ones. Lindsey Graham said yesterday that they were going to pass a bill to pull all their paychecks. It passed. Not just becuase of that, also Nancy was taking heat for the Bullshit she pulled

All the major cities that shutdown have businesses that already fired all their employees and the vast majority will not re-open. The fact that a clean bill wasn’t passed instantly has slashed us to the core. Trump will be re-elected, but he will govern over a recession if not a depression.

We are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Pass the pork filled stimulus and we’re fucked. Let it blow over without a stimulus and we’re still fucked. I expect 15-20% unemployment across the nation and at least a decade to recover.

Nobody can predict the future. Some industries are hiring right now.

Don’t bother, this guy is an obvious concern troll. He’s been going at it hard trying to bring morale down all over. He’s either a LARPER or a whiny defeatist.

I was waiting for an apology, ElGuano..

From today: New York Post

”A tidal wave of U.S. workers are facing unemployment in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak — with White House officials warning of a 20 percent unemployment rate.”

From now on, when someone smarter than you speaks,,,,,,listen!

Again, not a coward or a crybaby. We’ll tough it out if we have to and come back stronger than ever, while spineless, crying, whiny little feckless bitches like yourself are crying into their beer for being a failure at life.

Bahahhahaha, so petulant you can’t even admit I was right.

Admit it. You don’t know jack shit about the economy! You should keep your fucking mouth shut on the subject if you don’t want to look stupid.

Right about being a failure who couldn’t keep his business afloat during a tough time? Yup! That being said I still think you’re a LARPING loser who made this whole persona up for......what? Ah, yeah you’re probably some loser autist who was bullied in high school. It’s alright man, I love the front row seat to an autist one man play vibe.

Of course you can predict the economic future. I’m also using first hand experience of having my business shut down yesterday by the city of Denver and having to let my employees go.

The ripples are just staring and the stimulus bill isn’t going to change this fact. It may save the biggest corporations, but small businesses are being crushed.

Local governments are literally picking winners and losers. Somehow my service company isn’t essential, but dry cleaners are? Two months of this and we will be complete decimated at the lower levels.

Why are you concerned? You can predict the economic future. You must be a billionaire, right?

I’m not going to fight with you. Our country is in real trouble and it’s getting worse by the hour.

Now even small businessmen are being downvoted for their honest opinions here.

This place has gone full fucking retard. Go back to work and get your permanent lung damage and infertility, wagies.

Sure it's wrecked a 31 year old ex-Olympic swimmer so bad they can barely walk without running out of energy, but who cares. Back to the assembly line, coof coof

This punk below you, blurryface has me blocked, but continues to make comments to me knowing I can’t reply.

That’s the epitome of a pussy.

I have what I need, you numbskull.

Until yesterday my business had been churning for 20 years and the local government shut me down in one fell swoop. You were in diapers or a glint in your daddy’s eye when I was out building a reliable source of income for my self and a handful of employees.

Looks like the White House officials agree:

“A tidal wave of U.S. workers are facing unemployment in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak — with White House officials warning of a 20 percent unemployment rate.”

Call me Nostradamus from now on.

Trump is the only one I trust, but even he knows he will be up against a recession in his next term.

Look blurry, the businesses that I have service contracts with can’t pay. Even if I get a loan, it doesn’t mean shit unless all of my clientele also return to their businesses.

When the dust settles, I may try and rebuild, but that will takes years. This will be the reality for 10’s of thousands of small businesses.

The businesses I work for have been shut down. Many won’t return. I can’t get paid for the work I’ve done. It’s not about having enough for a hiatus, but the loss of service contracts and how long it will take to rebuild.

Personally, I’m in fine shape. 20 years of self employment has served me well, but the costs of business don’t go down. I can’t carry insurance, licenses, salaries, taxes, gas bills, and all the other overhead costs that are associated with running a business if my income drops by 75%.

It’s a punch in the gut to have the democratic governor shut me down while allowing other service providers like dry cleaners to stay open. They are picking and choosing the winners and losers.

If you have any foresight and intellect it’s time to take to heart what an experienced person is telling you. The government has shut me and my clients down and there is no amount of money that will bring back my business quickly.

Pass the shit-filled bill with legalized election fraud in it and Trump won't win. No R would ever win again.
