Can we PLEASE talk about black culture instead? I can't stand the thought of whitey's being responsible for anything.‘American shame’:
Doctors spit fire at Trump’s ‘sinful incompetence’ on COVID-19 pandemic
a dozen different doctors from across the United States, and
they all said that the federal government had failed to act in a timely manner to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The American public doesn’t know that a large portion of this catastrophe was preventable, if not for the sinful incompetence of our leaders,” he said.
“It didn’t have to be like this.”
“This is all being mismanaged, and we’re being put at risk unnecessarily,” he said.
“We had ample time to prepare. It didn’t have to be like this.”
said that Trump was to blame for constantly downplaying concerns about the virus and
for not even mobilizing resources behind the scenes despite having ample warning about the danger the virus posed.
“There’s still no real leadership,” he said.
“On a national scale, who on earth is in charge of handling this pandemic?
I’m flummoxed.”
“I alternate between anxiety attacks and rage over this …
everything is shrouded in secrecy,”
“It’s an American shame.”

Supporters turn on Trump for
‘flat-out lying’ about coronavirus:
‘He’s got no idea what the he’s doing’
the breaking point for some of his fans in rural Virginia.
A dozen seafood and agricultural workers in the state’s Northern Neck peninsula ...
expressed frustration to the Insider website over the president’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
“A few weeks ago I could ignore the parts of his personality I didn’t like,”
“That’s over. I don’t believe anything he’s saying now.”
asked to remain anonymous out of fear of backlash,Freedom, 1st Amendment!
“He’s got no idea what the he’s doing, and
I think he’s flat-out lying to everyone about how bad it really is, and
how bad it’s going to get,”
he said the president can’t necessarily count on his 2016 voters to stick with him.
“He thinks we’re all stupid and will show up for him no matter what,” he said.
“At this point, I can’t imagine bringing myself to do that.”

Trump team blocked Colorado order for 500 ventilators. Now Trump says he'll give them 100 instead
In his self-praising, lie-filled press conferences and through his actions, Donald Trump continues to treat an ongoing pandemic that has already killed over 10,000 Americans as just another opportunity for weaponing government into a tool for his own self-aggrandizement.
"Will be immediately sending 100 Ventilators to Colorado at the request of Senator Gardner!" Trump tweeted.
What he's not saying:
His shuddering and incompetent administration previously
commandeered 500 ventilators that Colorado had ordered for itself.
Now he'll be giving them only one-fifth of those
machines.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/4/8/1935599/-Trump-team-blocked-Colorado-order-for-500-ventilators-Now-Trump-says-he-ll-give-them-100-instead?detail=emaildkre

Aside from Fed regs being relaxed, there's still a massive logistical hurdle just trying to class these loans due to the exceptional response. I'm not sure there's a solution....its not like you can go hire a platoon of accountants that are trained to process these. Any ideas?
Putting 50k in each citizens account would be a powerful start imo.
forget the loans. Just blindly send out checks. we are not needing finesse here, merely to keep people afloat.

Some people who don't need it will get it. the vast majority who do will also get it.
I am usually for some oversight, but in this case, that is an hetical to what you want.
Don't have to go that far, Canada is simply going 2k per citizen for four months.

Trump fumes after CNN’s Jim Acosta asks
if his coronavirus briefings are just ‘happy talk’
said Acosta.
“And some of the officials and you paint a rosy picture of what is happening around the country.
If you look at some of these questions,
do we have enough masks, no.
Do we have enough tests, no.
Do we have enough PPE, no.”
“Why would you say no?” said Trump.
“The answer is yes.
I think
You asked me do we have enough masks. Yes.”

Trump mocked as a ‘gibbering lunatic’ for continuing to lie about how tariffs work at latest coronavirus briefing
Trump repeated, for the umpteenth time,
his false claim that the government of China is paying the tariffs
imposed on Chinese goods in the United States,
as opposed to American businesses and consumers —
something that he has repeatedly been corrected on.
This time, he even went out of his way to note that people have debunked this claim,
but saying that he still believes it anyway.

Former OSHA officials sound alarm as Trump tells corporations they don’t have to record coronavirus cases among their workers
Trump’s Labor Department has quietly issued guidance informing
most employers in the United States that they will not be required to record and report coronavirus cases among their workers
because doing so would supposedly cons ute an excessive burden on companies.

Repug DoL is ANTI-Labor and Pro-Business
I'm still pushing a front loaded QE. Combing with relief efforts (what the $1200 is) seems to be a fair combo imo.
‘It is what it is’:
Fauci carefully admits Trump ‘could have saved lives’ if he took the virus seriously
Fauci, who called some of the complaints about the administration “unfair,” could only offer “It is what it is” to defend the administration.
“You know, Jake, as I’ve said many times,
we look at it from a pure health standpoint.
We make a recommendation, often the recommendation is taken.
Sometimes it’s not but it is what it is we are where we are right now,”
the doctor replied.
I mean, obviously you could logically say that
if you had a process that was ongoing and
you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives.
Obviously no one is going to deny that.
if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down,
it may have been a little bit
there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then.”

Disloyal truth-teller Fauci, "You're Fired"
The White House pushed FEMA to give its biggest coronavirus contract to a company that never even had to bid
In an unusual move, even in times of disaster,
the White House stepped into the federal purchasing process,
ordering the Federal Emergency Management Agency to
award a contract to AirBoss of America.
The Trump administration has rushed through hundreds of deals to address the pandemic without the usual oversight,
more than $760 million reported as of this week, but the
AirBoss transaction is the single largest no-bid purchase,
While FEMA placed the order,
it was directed to do so by the White House, ProPublica found.

As feds play ‘backup,’
states take unorthodox steps to compete in cutthroat global market for coronavirus supplies
some governors and lawmakers have watched in disbelief as they have sought to close deals on precious supplies,
only to have the federal government swoop in to preempt the arrangements.
Officials in one state are so worried about this possibility that they are
considering dispatching local police or even the National Guard to greet two chartered FedEx planes scheduled to arrive in the next week with millions of masks from China,
a patchwork and often chaotic scramble for goods, pitting states against each other and, often, against other countries or even the U.S. government.
“You’ve got 50 states and the federal government all chasing the same companies. It’s crazy.”
Soaring prices have left states at times to pay up to
10 times the normal prices
Worried about losing potential deals, state governments have tossed aside long-standing purchasing rules about how to spend taxpayer money,
The frenzy invites the potential for fraud ... they have been inundated with pitches from likely scam artists.
Some governors are directing blame at the federal government,
which has taken only partial control of the supply chain,
dictating how certain supplies are allocated
while standing by as a bidding war ensues over the rest.
Decisions are made by FEMA, but
recommendations sometimes come from Trump, Vice President Pence, Kushner and others based on their interactions with states.
“FEMA makes the decision, but it’s not like FEMA is going to do the opposite of what the president tells them to do,”

By Trump’s Own Standards, His COVID-19 Response Is A ‘Full Scale Disaster’
On March 13, Trump described Obama’s (and by proxy, former Vice President Joe Biden’s) response to that disease as a “full scale disaster” due to thousands who died of the disease.
More recently on April 7, Trump described how 17,000 deaths from Swine Flu was a “debacle” for the previous administration.
Those numbers, it should be pointed out, are inaccurate:
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that only about 12,500 Americans died of the Swine Flu, not 17,000.
Most Americans, too, gave Obama good marks on his administration’s response to the disease —
six months after the pandemic reached the U.S., nearly 6-in-10 Americans said they approved
The current president does himself no favors by bringing up Obama’s response,
particularly because the American people were, for the most part, happy with it,
and are currently unhappy with Trump’s.
Trump is now pushing for reopening the nation’s economy ...
That wouldn’t just make Trump’s response to the disease a debacle or a full-scale disaster — deaths
the result of reopening the economy too early would effectively be a tragedy of his own making.
If he gets his way, he will do worse than fail —
his actions will result in the unnecessary deaths of thousands of Americans.

Your bag Trash-felling boss says come back to work,
and you refuse for your own and family's safety.
Then what?
"You're Fired" ?
Wouldn't it be easier to invite the press to be physically present for the arrival of shipments? It's hard to imagine the feds ripping off the states on camera. But maybe you do both, have the press and state-level officers protect deliveries.
It's crazy we're even discussing this.
bumbl Trump keeps wanting to reopen the economy.
Voters disagree.
the economy has historically been linked to a president's re-election hopes.
the percentage of voters who think the economy is getting worse skyrocketed to 60% in the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
That's up from 28% at the beginning of March.
Voters, it seems, are not for the moment blaming Trump for any economic downturn.
almost no one thinks that we need to reopen the economy right now.
In a Fox News poll this week,
80% of voters nationwide say they would favor the federal government announcing a stay at home order for everybody but essential workers.
You usually can't get 80% of voters to agree upon anything, and
the 80% is certainly higher than the approval Trump is getting for his handling of the coronavirus.
The same Fox News poll showed that a mere 4% of voters thought Trump was overreacting to the virus.
That compares with 47% who think he isn't taking the virus seriously enough.
75%, in the Fox News poll believe the worst of the epidemic is yet to come.
Americans want the President to focus most on the public health issue at hand more so than they are worried about him fixing the economy right now.
If people are allowed to go about their normal routine too soon and the number of coronavirus cases rise afterward,
there's a good case to be made that's far more dangerous to Trump's reelection chances than a bad economy.
