Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and for other purposes.
I hope some of the smart Freepers will read through this. I see sexual assault stuff mentioned and what appears to me to be funding for 'reproductive' issues.
Something seems off to me with my limited capacity for understanding what they are actually proposing.
“...other purposes...”
Seems to cover just about anything.
It’s pure government junk. GOP and DNC act like they are different. This crisis is ready made for government at the expense of people. The crisis is meant to remove the President and the GOP is a willing accomplice.
Seems like a pork friendly bill.
Anything in it about toilet paper?!!!
er, pardon... I meant to say, ‘Anything in it about the bathroom tissue crisis’?
Why point out ‘family’, when any American citizen could get this virus?
With paid sick leave for two weeks Ill have to let my employees go. I cant afford to pay two weeks of sick leave. I can afford to work alone for five months.
I may be misunderstanding this, but I think you can apply to have those 14 days paid by the federal coronavirus emergency fund. Kind of like the way FEMA gives grants to people in disaster zones. Like I said, I may be all wrong.
You have to pay the employee and the make a claim, and the claim has to be approved. Im not in an industry that such claims are a priority. And its likely that the benefit will be extended. So I will still be better off laying off my employees before the virus hits

see something, say something. KZOO Costco lines around the building. (h/t good friend Kris W)
Thanks.
Yep, The National Emergency (Bailout), should be by verified application for hardship, then automatic deposit per individual. Extension based on employment status.
Hope the White House got most of the pork out of it...Congress still discussing at 10:15pm PDT/1:15am EDT.

(You have to have a cable/sat. package to watch C-SPAN?!? Guess I won’t be watching after next week when I “cable-cut” and go streaming only for awhile).
Oops, they just passed it in the House (343-40 or something like that)....now on to the Senate.
Buy baby wipes instead. You'll be spoiled for life.
Er, pardon, I meant butt swabs. Or as the rednecks in PA say, mud flaps.
FEMA does not ‘GIVE’ grants to people in disaster situations. They provide grants to cities and entities, but not individuals except temporary rent/housing assistance but it is awful what the offer. I was impacted with major loses and FEMA was nice, but sent me to SBA disaster relief and they offered me a ‘loan’.
In my opinion, after a quick glance commodities market should skyrocket, tens of millions of parents in this country do not know how to feed their children breakfast and lunch (Conditined by Federal and State governments), businesses could be stressed but not much you can do against pandemics or national hysteria this Bill is reacting to, and money still grows on trees in the US Capital building/have no problem accumulating debt on the backs of future generations/driving purchasing power down to the fraction of a penny at this rate.
