Yes. Forever. That’s exactly what I’m saying. 
Do you bother to actually read anything I post?

Ok.
“No big. We’ll just do like Italy is and stop treating anyone over 60. Acceptable losses.”
What did I learn from that?
“So a bunch of people will die. No big deal. It’s just the flu.”
Or that?
That you’re being intentionally obtuse as usual and completely ignored the post right before it?
Feel free to Trumpsplain either of those Doug. You’re good at that.
In a word of two letters: no.

Look at the entire package not just a little part of it.
Right now it’s up to about a 2 trillion dollar package.
500 billion to businesses – you know – so you have a place to go back to work evendually
1.5 trillion for people. Shoring up the unemployment fund – that your now eligible for. And direct payments to individuals.

Does the current bill unequivocally guarantee that if a company gets part of the $500 million that no employees can lose their employment?

Why should it?
This is to attempt to make it so businesses will be around once the crisis is over and can start to hire people again.

So the businesses can take the money without any obligation to maintain their work force?
These are two completely different statements.
The second question was in response to Snow96’s post seeking clarification of that post.

If the D don’t want a clean bill then I say fine.
After the 15 days start to open the economy back up and roll up your sleeves.
We can keep doing the social distance thing. I rather like that.
NO we do not have as many covid19 deaths as the flu, it’s not even close!

So they should hire eveyone back?
Or are you talking once the crisis is over and they start bringing people back?

Italy closed things down and are still in a humanitarian crisis. Imagine if they hadn’t closed the country down. That is what we are choosing.

The 500B is secret and at the sole discretion of one man.
Does that seem like a good idea to you?
i would be gravely embarrassed to be a democrat right now.
but they never are. they never think what they are doing is wrong. instead they just think they havent done enough if it yet.
Our college likely mirrors other businesses. Some part-time employees will not be brought back, even if we got a bailout.
I completely disagree with the notion that businesses must unequivocally guarantee that if their company gets part of the $500 million that no employees can lose their employment. Bringing everyone back exactly as it was after we collaborate this hard to create new online enrollment services wouldn’t make sense. It’s looking a lot like we’ll end up permanently changing some of our processes.
Staying viable and being able to return to semi ‘normal’ operations would obviously be more important else nobody would have a job.

If we start to open up after 15 days, we’re going to need a lot more hospitals and a much bigger bail-out

We can handle it.
Social distancing saved us.
It broke the curve.
Rejoice.
