I fully expect a second stimulus. And hopefully this means bigger checks for Americans since even Kamala Harris is aiming high. I really hope they pass something, otherwise a large number of people are going to be homeless and struggling. Also, from a selfish standpoint, I want a second stimulus check.

Yeah, I don't really need another stimulus check, since I'm lucky enough to have a steady job and minimal expenses, but that first one cleared up my lingering debts, and another one could give my savings account a boost.

McConnell just got Boehner'd/Ryan'd like what used to happen with the Freedumb Caucus. I am torn between getting a bill done, or holding out for a really good bill. Hopefully Dems realize just how strong their bargaining position is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The Big 10 just put out it's 10 game all-conference-only schedule, acting like we're actually going to have a season. (And OSU Michigan isn't the last game of the season?!? WTF) Rutgers and Illinois have already had outbreaks among the players and staff, and Colorado State allegedly has threatened retaliation against players who quarantine themselves, even if showing symptoms. This season won't happen, and if it does start, I only see it ending early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 No college athlete is going to play college if they were smart. They'd be better off going to play in the CFL, get paid, and play in a country that has a much better handle on pandemic. This virus may possibly ruin NFL careers for these kids even if they're at no risk of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look down the replies there is a post that have audio of the morning announcements threatening "gently reminding" the students that if they post anything negative about the school or district they would be punished. Basically they punished the student for posting the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 8 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: Football players? Smart? You're not giving them enough credit. A lot of these kids know they're getting screwed, but they also know it's likely their best shot at success. The calculus here doesn't make sense for players. If you catch COVID-19 you might be fine, but you may also develop heart and lung issues that will kill any future athletic career. The kids that so play well likely be lied to and have been told that the risk is minimal. The issue there is that I'm not sure if the schools here would liable for lying to their athletes if they bring up such concerns. How much would I be willing to bet that, though the relationship between player and school isn't supposed to be a employee and employer relationship, Republicans will want to include college athletes in their blanket coverage for COVID lawsuit immunity.
