Humans are not rational. That's why pricing a product at $9.99 sells it faster than pricing it at $10.00.Of course we'd like a higher chance of efficacy, but that logic makes absolutely no sense.
So Trump cuts unemployment benefits by $200 per week during a pandemic.
Rough for those of you who needed it.
Also payroll tax cut for those making less than $100k. Not sure why we couldn't help the unemployed even more than those who are employed.
true, better than nothing is a way to look at this but he could have done better.
I just don't understand the payroll tax cut. How does that help the unemployed? That just helps the employer and employee, right? I guess it helps those who have dual income household.
To be fair, the US government has allocated billion$ toward vaccine research, development and production. If there's one thing they did right, it was placing support behind some of the most promising vaccine candidates in the world, not necessarily those who are just US based. They have theoretically secured many millions of doses in advance from multiple potential vaccines in case one or more does not prove to be safe or effective. How this all unfolds over the next year+ will be interesting, to say the least.
It is wild to me that people can't understand that even a vaccine that is 50% effective would result in a massive reduction in infections, and lower deaths as a result.Dawg that's not what I'm saying either. I'm saying nitpicking and *****ing/moaning because something isn't as effective as you want it to be is silly given our current state of affairs.
If we create a vaccine that's safe, but doesn't provide great efficacy it should still be celebrated because no matter what it's STILL it's an improvement from our current state.
It's equal parts laughable and frustrating to hear a bunch of people with no background in medicine, pharmacology, epidemiology, etc. talk about how they "expect better."
What I'm wondering is, when did the executive branch get the ability to disburse public funds? That has always been one of, if not the most important power of the legislative branch other than crafting and passing laws.The payroll tax cut is a pet project of his own interests, hes been wanting to do it since maybe even before the Coronavirus hit. I'm not real up on it, but I know for a fact before we knew we were going to need another stimulus package he said he wasn't on board with anything unless t hff at was included. I *think* he even threatened to veto.
It is a political play.What I'm wondering is, when did the executive branch get the ability to disburse public funds? That has always been one of, if not the most important power of the legislative branch other than crafting and passing laws.
Trump DEFINITELY wants those votes. l wouldn't be surprised if that was his plan all along... As in, knowing the disease was coming, hit instead of taking appropriate security measures, allow it to hit us then provide extra 600/week. 'Fight' for a while behind the scenes then let the little people think you saved them. Typical psychopath (or maybe sociopath) behavior.
It is a political play.
His people knows it is unconstitutional, but they want the Dems to sue them because at best they win and can stay they extended the benefits (even though they are the ones that refuse to compromise on the stimulus), or the Dems wiln and the UI extension has to end and he can blame the Dems for cutting people off.
America isn’t capitalist b. It’s corporate socialist.
there are no bail outs in capitalism. Delta, gm and all that would have been dinosaurs by now.
