do or die Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Trump said he's told Pence not to call the governors of Washington and Michigan, suggesting the vice president is "wasting [his] time." Quote I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true." "I want them to be appreciative. We’ve done a great job." "You know what I say? If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call," We'll see what happens shortly, when more Republican Governors have to square up to this moron.
17to85 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Poor Trumpy. So desperately wants praise for solving this thing yet history will write about his ineptitude exacerbating the situation and it being a complete disaster. Being a good leader isn't that hard, you simply listen to the smart people and let them make you look good. Trump though doesn't like not being the smartest guy in the room, which given how low a bar that is makes the entire thing a gong show. Sad. Even sadder that so many people bought into the crap.
Tracker Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 “The EPA uses this global pandemic to create loopholes for destroying the environment. This is a schoolbook example for what we need to start looking out for.” The Environmental Protection Agency, headed by former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler, announced on Thursday a sweeping and indefinite suspension of environmental rules amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic, a move green groups warned gives the fossil fuel industry a “green light to pollute with impunity.” Under the new policy (pdf), which the EPA insisted is temporary while providing no timeframe, big polluters will effectively be trusted to regulate themselves and will not be punished for failing to comply with reporting rules and other requirements. The order—applied retroactively beginning March 13, 2020—requests that companies “act responsibly” to avoid violations.

Is it not the reverse in USA? Is it not for everyone? Yeah. Plus the way I understand it in the US. It’s $1200 per individual and $500 per child. So a family of four can end up $3400. One criticism is it’s a one time deal. But they could revisit that. im curious how the Canadian payment will work. Do you have to have a 2018 tag return? So you have to have a registered business? Because people they say it’s for will fall out of scope of those things. It almost sounds like honour system. Apply if you need it sort of deal. and when this is over....what will the government do to make up the spending. Honestly, adding a percent to the GST for a period of time wouldn’t bother me as a means to recoup it.
JCon Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 With your $1,200 USD, I hope you can afford the healthcare you lost when you lost your job. There's a big difference when a first world country like Canada, England, Denmark can offer to give everyone cash on top of the gov't services you already get as opposed to the US, where they have red hats and guns.

Yeah but they can't afford that because they're spending all their money protecting these countries! Slackers should have to spend on their own militaries! Rabble rabble rabble! JCon 1

The one of many things that fascinates me about supporters of this man is when they tweet out they will vote for him no matter what. I can’t think of one person I would say that for, key part of that sentence being ‘no matter what’.

Elected officials are only accountable when voters hold them accountable. Voting for someone no matter what simply enables abuses of power to happen.

Tracker Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 In shrinkology, we say that crisis bring out the best and worst in people- in other words, they become more like who they really are. This probably applies to systems as well, and we are seeing the true Donald Trump (as if we didn't know) and the true American political and healthcare systems and it is a damning judgement. What we have here is Canada is not perfect and probably never will be, but it is much, much better than the American healthcare system. All of the socialist, universal healthcare systems are faring infinitely better than those that are not universal. Cuba, for all its faults, has a higher life expectancy and lower natal mortality for both mothers and babies that the USA without all the expensive equipment and drugs available in the US.
bustamente Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 Dr. Fauci claims that ii's possible a 100,000 plus could die from Covid 19 in the States, that's a lot of deaths from a hoax.
