Over 600K die each year - and we consider it a "woman's health issue."  Maybe we should call that something different as well?

Seems like we might need to redefine what "pro life" means too.

Still waiting for the piles of dead bodies that are supposedly going to start piling up as a result of the economy being shut down. When do all the economy shut down deaths start happening? So far almost 100k have died from coronavirus and people say the shutdown will kill more but everytime I look outside I don't see any piles.

Seriously?

Why arent these people getting unemployment assistance from the government?

i don't think most of us realize how many families are struggling.  within the first few days of lockdown, the local school was handing out bagged lunches & i couldn't believe how far the line of cars was when i happened to drive by that area.  so many families rely on those school lunches for their kids...and again, this was less than a week into lockdown...before the financial impact of the lockdown was really being felt.

Because they can’t print the Monopoly money fast enough?

Seems the issue we're facing is the governments inability to support its citizens in a crisis rather than whether or not the local barbershop should be open.

Quote

"Moderna Inc. on Monday said human subjects in a Phase 1 trial of a candidate Covid-19 vaccine produced immune responses that were a positive sign of the vaccine’s potential to prevent infection with the new coronavirus. . . . Two weeks after receiving a second dose, people who received the smallest-tested dose of the vaccine created levels of binding antibodies equivalent to those seen in people who have recovered from Covid-19. And people who received a medium dose of the vaccine produced binding antibodies two weeks after a second dose that significantly exceeded the levels seen in recovered patients.”

That's a hard mother f'ing fact of life, which is why Socialism is a naive ideology pushed by fanciful fools.

super duper news, beta!

Sure they can.  We're $3T in with no pushback.  They just can't distribute it to the people.

Yeah, if you think it’s the governments role to central plan. Maybe we should be discussing the inability for individuals to support themselves and not relying on big daddy so much?

During a pandemic?  Really?

Well if its all their fault they cant support themselves during a pandemic then why worry about them? They've sealed their own fate by relying on "big daddy" I guess

Yes, because they have been such a great job so far.

Same thing could be said about all those people who are at risk because they lead unhealthy lifestyles. They sealed their fate long ago.

What about the elderly? Guess they've lived long enough and aren't supporting themselves, what use are they really? Such leeches.

Other countries have spent far, far less than we have and have guaranteed their citizens enough to get through at least the first few months.  There's absolutely no reason we couldn't have done the same, especially given how much we're willing to spend.

I'm with you on many of the economic concerns going forward but this is a pretty naive dude. You can be a very responsible and self sufficient person and still not be able to take the massive hit COVID brought down. Businesses should be able to survive down months but not taking a 0.

Don't forget businesses.  They should've squirreled away enough for 0 profit for months on end.

Basically everyone should just die I guess. Why are we even living in a society to begin with? No one should support anyone else in times of need. Just euthanize 85 percent of the population and every individual live on their own separate 5 acres of land.

where should our tax dollars go if not to our citizens in a time of need?
