I was going to say - the worst areas in the US affected are DNC controlled (both infected and in restart dates). Doesn't really shift the vote against President Trump. Hell - it punishes the DNC more than anything.

Think all those closed workers are going to kiss ass the people keeping them from their jobs?

The Feds can print money. The States can't.

The states do unemployment. And they're in a habit of doing it badly . If they managed to restrain themselves from simply lifting 50% right off the top, I'd be in shock.

As much as people like free shit. They like more shit more. And they hate "Muh, my check is missing".

"No, I'm not passing that bill, it's fucking nuts. How about a nice clean bill where papa gives free shit? Y'all got that first Fed payout right? You know it'll work?"

Most of the DNC areas have insane rents. Those checks won't be paying much of that. Particularly in CA.
