Crazy thought. Most people aren’t in a position to go months without a paycheck. The large majority of the country is living paycheck to paycheck.
When you can’t get on unemployment because of the huge strain on the system and bills are piling up of course people want to go back to work. Possibility of getting sick, where most places outside of big cities have low or no cases, or lose your house, your car, and other possessions?
It’s a manufactured crises. Trump was 100% going to get re-elected before crises, now mainstream media is blaming trump for the crises. Trumps chances of getting re-elected are not 100% anymore.
U can debate me all you want but this is what I believe.
By who, though? Trump said he knew it was a pandemic before anyone else did.
Perhaps China. Since trump is one of the few to speak out against China and putting up tariffs
Ah yes, the tariffs. Also the reason why the government has had to pay farmers a lot of money to make up for the lost revenue, especially with destroying the trade agreements they’d set up. When the Amazon no longer can produce the soybeans they were freed from the contract to buy from US farmers, will the soybean farmers in the US still exist, or will they have been forced to sell to megafarms?
This thread is exactly as terrible as I imagined it would be just by reading the title.
Can you not take your wannabe political debate threads to reddit?
Before crisis, stocks were high unemployment at 60 year lows, jobs coming back which Obama said just aren’t coming back, high gdp.
After crisis it all went downhill.
China is trying to be a super power and the only thing holding them back is America.
China virus put a global pause on everyone’s economy, America was their goal, rest are collateral damage.
Ya man crazy stuff… hits blunt
A lot of people didn’t get their unemployment. The number of people applying jump up by 30 million in one week so some are still waiting.
1200 doesn’t go very far.
@Kalandra, +1 because I ran out of likes.
If you expected it to be terrible then why did you bother to read it or post?
Why do you Americans argue with political affiliations other than the welfare of your own being and others without thought?
Forget trump or USA, this COVID is worldwide …and its affecting us all, it doesn’t discriminate nor it chooses, it can get to us without us knowing it
sounds scary OP. But dont worry Trump is judging for us what virus knowledge is acceptable or not so all is just fine
@Cathbadhh, I really liked your thoughtful, reasoned, and informative post. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.
oK, SERIOUSLY!
This is not fun guys,
Why would you flag OP posts?
What exactly has she/he done wrong?
This flagging system is getting out of control,
This is the closest realistic post we can all relate and express ourselves during times like this, unless Blizz condemns it otherwise
Ugh,
Because one political side is playing politics rather than doing their best to help the country.
Why do non-Americans make posts about things you have no clue about?
Also, a general comment: Don’t forget the Chinese communist government is still doing whatever they can to protect and expand their interests. They don’t care about the rest of the world - they are more than willing to use this crisis and the people under their control to both rise in power and make a profit.
I am not American but Canadian Quebecois
Curious
You won’t get anywhere with crisis while debating political affiliation
I agree, but blizz will send it to off-topic and close down comments, based on other threads anyway.
Then we can agree that makes blizz a “bad brother”
Its insane…
I am with you though my brother
As someone else said, I’ve had enough of my free trial to 2020, I’m here to forgo my subscription.
I’ll leave it there before REDACTED shows up to ninja delete my posts.
Impervious… to put it bluntly… you just described every virus on the planet…the flu kills 21000 to 145000 americans every year… this isnt including the rest of the world… ( source cdc flu numbers.) the flu is also a covid virus… covid just means respiratory…the common cold is a covid virus… keep this in mind when you listen to these reports… you will also only hear worse case scenarios… ive personally had the covid… back in february before the panic set in i only found out because of blood testing for a recent surgery…
most people dont die from covid19 those that do are dieing from the pnemonia it lowers your immune system and allows you to get.
in short dont panic but take the same precautions the cdc has always recomended for the flu season that we all ignored.
Everyone was eligible to collect unemployment if they were laid off and if they did get laid off and collected unemoyment 600$ was also added with it so you was roughly making 24 an hour or 900 a week which is plenty to live off.
The only people who couldn’t were people who weren’t working before it started and the ones who still had to work kept working so everyone had an option.
The only ones who couldn’t collect were people who werent working to begin with.
