    I got some $1600 check deposited that I don't need. I'll donate it to a worthy cause.

    “Darrin’s Keystone Light Fund” isn’t a worthy cause.

    600 - 1200 - 2000 "debate" is deflecting from the bull 300/week which where real help for unemployed Americans must be.

    I thought Karrin was a high roller paying $10,000 a year in property taxes. Did he cheat on his income taxes to become eligible for those checks?

    Stunning Brick & Mortar Meltdown, Manhattan Style:

    The Collapse of Retail Rents Before & Now During the Pandemic



    Store rents had already plunged, amid a surge in vacancies.

    Then in the spring, the market froze;

    when it thawed, rents dropped to 10-year lows.

    Trump’s Last Full Jobs Report: Economy Loses 140,000 Jobs, First Decrease Since April

    Nonfarm payrolls fell by 140,000 for the month

    The unemployment rate rose mildly as a result, from 6.7 percent to 6.8 percent.

    The U-6 unemployment rate, which includes those who are working part-time but cannot find full-time jobs, rose from 11.7 percent to 12 percent.

    “Nobody is going to be rushing to hire back more people at this stage, and certainly for leisure and hospitality.

    There’s a risk jobs fall further in next month’s report because of further lockdowns.”

    https://www.mediaite.com/uncategoriz...e-since-april/


    =================

    The US economy lost 140,000 jobs in December.

    All of them were held by women

    154,000 Black Women Left The Workforce In December Alone

    Since the pandemic started, all women have been hurting, but women of color most of all.

    Faced with shaky job prospects across so many industries and often with children home for virtual school,

    many women have simply given up on the idea of working.

    All told, 2.1 million women have left the workforce since this pandemic started,

    compared to nearly 1.7 million men.

    More superfluous evidence that the economy is rigged by and for the oligarchy

    Unemployment claims increase as COVID-19 surges


    Another
    1.2 million people applied for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits last week, including 965,000 people who applied for regular state UI and 284,000 who applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). The 1.2 million who applied for UI last week was an increase of 304,000 from the prior week.

    the 181,000 rise in seasonally adjusted regular state claims suggests layoffs are increasing as the COVID-19 pandemic surges.

    Last week was the 43rd straight week total initial claims were greater than the worst week of the Great Recession.

    continuing claims for regular state UI rose by 199,000, meaning new continuing claims were outpacing exhaustions.

    There are now
    26.8 million workers who are either unemployed, otherwise out of work because of the virus, or have seen a drop in hours and pay because of the pandemic.

    we started losing jobs again in December; layoffs are rising and the virus is surging.

    To get the economy back on track in a reasonable timeframe,

    we need policymakers to pass an additional $2.1 trillion in fiscal support

    (the $2.1 trillion is calculated by subtracting the $900 billion December COVID-19 relief bill from the total
    $3 trillion in fiscal support that is actually needed).

    In particular, it is crucial that Congress provide substantial aid to state and local governments.

    Without this aid, austerity by state and local governments will result in cuts to essential public services and the loss of
    millions of jobs in both the public and private sector.

    https://www.epi.org/blog/unemployment-claims-increase-as-covid-19-surges

    McConnell's BigDonor Capitalist class has been and is mopping up $100Bs, so he will block the above aid to Labor and state/local govts.

    US unemployment applications e to highest since August


    Layoffs are coinciding with an economy that has faltered as consumers avoid traveling, shopping, and dining out as confirmed COVID-19 cases rise.

    And the consumer slowdown only adds to layoffs caused by business restrictions and shutdowns.

    The number of people seeking unemployment aid soared last week to 965,000, the most since late August,

    with evidence that the resurgent virus has caused a e in layoffs.

    "President-elect Joe Biden is unveiling a $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan Thursday to turn the tide on the pandemic,

    speeding up the vaccine rollout and

    providing financial help to individuals, states, and local governments and businesses struggling with the prolonged economic fallout.


    It includes $1,400 checks for most Americans,

    which on top of $600 provided in the most recent COVID-19 bill would

    bring the total to the $2,000 that Biden has called for.

    Manchin making sounds he will not support the bill, saying he's for the one-stimulus payment only to people who need, not people / couples making up to $75K / year

    I think Manchin will align more with the Senate Repugs than with the Dems, to pander to his Fox viewers, letting them decide how he votes

    eg, I bet he would block making DC and PR states. Takes a simple majority of both chambers.

    Trump administration gave private jet companies over half a billion in pandemic bailout funds

    You might remember Trump Treasury Rich Guy Steven Mnuchin moving to axe nearly a half billion in emergency pandemic lending after Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection,

    under the pretense that Our Work Here Is Done or somesuch—

    this, after slow walking distribution of emergency funds in the first place.

    One business sector that did very well by the Trump administration's distribution of emergency funds, however, was the private jet industry.

    Yeah, the private jet industry. This is just how things work now.

    Private jet companies received over $643 million in federal aid, spread across three emergency programs.

    The majority, over half a billion dollars, came in grants from the Payroll Support Program.


    "[A]t least 49 private jet companies have been given access to all three programs, taking up to $87.38 million in federal COVID stimulus funds between them," notes the report.


    What can you say?

    They've got lobbyists, and you don't.

    US Govt (under both parties, but esp Repugs) is an ATM for the oligarchy.

    The Trump administration bailed out prominent anti-vaccine groups during a pandemic

    received more than $850,000 in loans from the federal Paycheck Protection Program,

    raising questions about why the government is giving money to

    groups actively opposing its agenda and seeking to undermine public health during a critical period.


    The groups that received the loans are the

    National Vaccine Information Center,
    Mercola Health Resources,
    the Informed Consent Action Network,
    the Children’s Health Defense and
    the Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center,
