    Yes, it can do all of those things but in the real world $600 or $1,000 isn't going to have the impact we'd like it to have. We're 12 months into this now.

    I am absolutely on board with increasing the wages of the people who take care of the disabled. Not certain what compensation package they offer but it only needs to be competitive. I can say that the only asses I've ever wiped, other than my own were my 2 kids. I'd love to see you doing it.

    https://www.gm.com/electric-vehicles.html I think this is a case of virtue signaling on the part of GM. Their website says this a "path to an all-electric future", They don't promise zero gas vehicles by 2035, the promise 30 EV models.

    Not the travel biz. This was where she worked. The job offered is care of DD clients. Toileting, feeding, bathing etc. Not a job most would aspire to. But because it is Medicaid funded the available dollars are tight.

    Please find where I have said payments to those in need because of the pandemic is a bad thing. What I'm saying is the payments are missing the mark. People are getting them that don't really need it. Extended unemployment? No problem however, when the unemployment add on was $600 Rox had real trouble finding people who needed a job.

    I never lose sight of just how fortunate I am to have the life I have. As much as you'd like me to feel guilty of my accomplishments rest assured that I won't. We pay taxes...a lot of taxes. Have been for most of my life and yet the government doesn't seem to be able to solve the problem by giving people more money.

    Oh man, how will I sleep tonight knowing that I'm keeping poor people poor?

    The problem is crowd size.

    There are 3 grocers close by. All are big chains. Where would you be more comfortable with me shopping Joe? Ya know I'm concerned that you aren't upset with me.

    We shop for groceries there. It's practically across the street. I typically don't buy any other goods there. Sorry to disappoint you.

    Also, they are unable to practice social distancing. If the ultimate goal is to get out from under this we shouldn't penalize one set of folks.

    While it might temporarily stimulate the economy it does little good long term. We're already "stimulating" the economy monthly. The very reason I avoid going to the local WalMart around the first of the month.

    I understand that. Problem is $150K in some parts of the country is doing quite well...in others it's not.

    Not my fault if you don't see the humor.

    There needs to be a means test for sure.

    While I'm sure it can be done I doubt it's convenient.

    For the most part universities stopped being "private industries" when they started taking taxpayer money for a substandard result. Hell, they can't even educate a pharmacist to think correctly.

    Anything legal. Let me see if I have this straight; you think using rail for hauling oil/natural gas is preferable to a pipeline?

    Consumer goods are number 1. Industrial products is second on the list with 1.2 billion in Q3 2020 revenue. I'm sure the stockholders are OK with paying little attention to the second largest income source. There certainly wouldn't be any motivation to support cancelling Keystone.

    Call it whatever makes you feel good. Everyone knows it's all about feels these days.

    UI don't think Rs have a problem with higher education. What I have a problem with is universities lining their coffers with federal student loan money. So many young people are saddled with student loan debt it affects the entire economy. BTW...instead of forgiving the debt maybe we should have the universities give some back to the students.

    I believe Warren Buffet bought BNSF a few years back. They haul a lot of oil. I wonder if he contributed to the dems or reps?
