Sluggo, check out the riff about half way thru.
$1 trillion bill. Less than $50 billion of it is for roads last I checked. They're spending twice that on Rural Broadband, which is the least necessary thing in America to expand given that it is well served already and the gov's prior attempts at fed and state levels tanked and were sold off for pennies on the dollar to private industry. The latter part is what it's really about. The sell off to private industry friends.
That happened here, started about 10 years ago maybe. Someone started there own fiber optic internet service and got MILLIONS in grant money to run fiber to cabins in the middle of nowhere. One of the biggest wastes of money I've ever seen. And they guy who started it got filthy rich...
That guy is awesome. He used the Panther to plow snow in the winter!
Something the maskers have pretty much avoided this entire time. Does wearing a mask if you are infected increase the viral load?
Here's a good exercise . Google that phrase and look at the results. Then use DuckDuckGo and look at the results.
All in all the lockdowns here were ineffective. Probably caused more damage by generally lowering the population's immune systems. Show me proof of anywhere in the US where the hospitals were "overwhelmed". We built emergency temporary hospitals and brought in hospital ships to ports. And guess what, they went unused. Proof of hospitals could have easily been provided. But everytime the question was raised it was said that filming the "overwhelmed" hospitals would have been a violation of the HIPAA laws. Yet now in direct violation of HIPAA laws, you can be asked if you are vaccinated. Was it a real "Pandemic" sure. But so is the flu every year, well I guess not anymore. C19 has apparently cured the flu.
18% of their annual payroll covered with everybody still at work, just a couple years after stock buybacks.
The one in Louisiana that's a current news posterboy for begging for Fed help, stock is up 40% in the last year, and the Feds are sending in free labor. Boom times in the medical world.
Wait, you're talking about someone in the medical field? I didn't even know they qualified for the ppp loans.
For some reason I doubt that will be a problem.
If this crisis, and the last election, has done anything good it is to reveal just how thoroughly corrupt the U.S. government is on every level.
That may be true but roughly half of the US population don't care.
Hint. Those are not "my people".
And that may very well be true in a faux-two-party system like the U.S. "uniparty" establishment. You're not that far off from being China. They too have elections.
Unfortunately I can't disagree with you on that.
Have you checked the prices recently...

If that's about the freeshitters getting their toys repoed , well I can't wait. It's going to be a fire sale of epic proportions that I look forward to.
Payroll protection does not apply to a government-run institution. Healthcare in most countries is not a business, but a service. And every government employee here, including health workers, has complete job security. They cannot be fired for any reason except committing a crime or gross negligence. However, they do not decide their own salaries, nor do they get any bonuses.
True but here our governments "double dipped". State workers (not direct healthcare workers) went to work from home and the "state' purposely dropped their hours to 36 per week I believe. So that the workers could get the $600 per week federal pandemic unemployment benefits. It was truly disgusting.
They had payroll protection during the lockdown. Can't ruin yourself when you still make the payroll and your bonus income.
That only covered 8 weeks originally.
For what purpose? To ruin themselves in lockdowns? This is the greatest economic crisis in modern times.
Funny how the greatest economic crisis in modern times has had pretty much the opposite effect (so far) here in the good ole US of A.
Actually our biggest crisis is the lack of willing workers. And that was a direct result of the government.
That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about medical institutions being financially incentivized to lie to the government. That's a U.S.-only thing. Nowhere else, to my knowledge, are hospitals getting extra cash for Covid cases.
Financially incentivized to lie FOR the government...
I find that hard to believe since she was fucking star wars nerds for blow...
No doubt. I'd be surprised if you even cared about your own.
For that you would have to define "my own".
And again, I don't care what happen to Spain or any other Eurotrash country.
Come to think about it, I really don't care about any other country.
Shitholes like Italy, Spain, The United Kingdom etc. When I was in Spain during the initial outbreak healthcare workers were forced to work 16-hour shifts. Quitting wasn't an option unless you preferred jail. The military drafted every medical student and ordered them to help at hospitals. The tourist industry, which is a significant part of their GDP, was shut down overnight.
I'm sure they did it for the money.
I was talking about it being under reported.
and where did my glorious avatar go? ....
The great avatar disaster of 2021. We all took the hit...
Well except for certain "rebels" that refuse to avatar up.
You don't. However, your hypothesis does not survive even a cursory glance outside your borders. If anything the number of covid deaths is underreported. Scientists and historians are going to spend decades trying to work out the actual cost in human lives.
Where? Third world shitholes nobody give a rat's ass about? And slight addition, "scientist and historian will get paid for decades trying to figure out something that will never be found out."
