Republicans pushed for it in the 2000s both times, and it was also something ridiculed by many leftists IIRC who laughed at the notion that people will try to stimulate the economy by buying something as opposed to using it to pay all or part of one bill. Democrats were literally out there pushing for permanent paid leave in the past week, which is significantly more important than a one-time check, not to mention Andrew Yang pushing for a monthly stipend along with other Dem candidates who either supported it or considered it (maybe it was just the latter, I forget). I don't think this is the hill anyone here needs to die on. This just ain't it; it's already happened twice in our lifetimes, maybe a third time coming soon

I don't think Democrats have historically voted against this kind of stuff. They voted against the Bush tax cuts of 2001 because of the huge cuts to big business and corporations that were included, but the 2008 one-time stimulus was bipartisan. A few Democratic Senators running against it doesn't seem like a big deal when a very notable Democratic candidate ran on giving people $1000 a month, along with several candidates open to exploring UBI. It's just not a new idea or something that saved Republicans in 2008.

I wouldn't use this as an example. He said we should give Americans $1000, not $1000 a month. That's not much different than Bush's tax rebate plan in the early 2000s that gave checks to all Americans, and his subsequent one in early 2008 with a Democratic Congress in place and bipartisan support. This idea isn't new, nor is an economic stimulus via tax rebates a new idea. See socialist Lewis Black:

I gotcha. I thought you posted it because people are posting conspiracies online that this worldwide virus that has affected numerous countries is all centered around Trump and a plot to destroy him. It seemed timely.

Just to be sure, was this for The Asylum or intended for the current events board? I'm gonna take a look because I'm fascinated at them not just believing weird conspiracy theories, but what happens when you easily take down poorly thought out talking points and "evidence" for these far-fetched conspiracies -- they not only think of an explanation to try to reason through it, but they go all-in and 100% believe an explanation they just made up 2 minutes ago.

I hope we do everything correctly and are better by the summer so I can watch Soul in theaters the way I want to watch it at first.

Jose needs to adopt my strategy because I walked into the store naked so everyone ran out disgusted and I socially distanced them. I'm basically a hero in these parts, a true florida man

Majority or minority leader, but they certainly have a shot at the Senate as the map is way better than 2018, to which the Democratic Blue Wave helped stem losses to about two.

Now that Wrestlemania is going to be at a performance center with no crowd:

Y'all know after using the guillotine 5 - 10 times, you're supposed to replace the blade, right? That shit's dull as shit, now.

Ohio postpones its primary today

With no new releases for weeks and huge drops for everything, I guess it makes a lot of sense. Still so freaking weird to see, you know?

True! But the box office series that I sometimes don't do for months at a time is my baby. Don't take it away from me!

Not yet, but I imagine the situation is fluid and that consideration continues to be on the table based on reporting so far.

I listened to part of it on my drive home to hear how they're handling it, especially since I have family there. That was refreshing. I was about to skip this but figured I'd see why it has nearly 350k likes Worth the nine seconds.

NSC says text messages about a coronavirus national quarantine are fake, there is no national lockdown

I just got a pretty good raise at a time when my company is being very stringent. Quite happy about that one all things considered. The jobs report, Q1 GDP, all of this will be stunning to read about over the next few months. My g/f wants to do fewer things outside. It's sad because we like to do a lot outside and eat out, but it's true that it's not about us. Don't really give a shit about the online atmosphere where everything is doomsday; do your part, which is the most you can do.

Xbox Series X Will Require Proprietary Cards to Expand Hard Drive Space

Someone get him addicted to Bloodborne again so he won't spill the beans on us anymore.

Al Roker and Craig Melvin were given the morning off after a staffer at the Today show tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Looking at my backlog and the games yet to come, I may be OK with this. Then again, since we're not going to get an insurmountable amount of games at launch, I'll probably do what I normally do and play last-gen games along with current-gen by the time the new consoles hit.
