Yeah people knock it off.

I’d trade moving rightward on social issues like gay rights in exchange for moving significantly left on economic issues.
Disagree.
To some of us, gay marriage, DADT, ENDA, and fair housing policies ARE economic issues…

And I’d trade that all away for M4A and a wealth tax. Given sufficient gains, the trade-off is worth it.
That’s my BR. $6K for my current game. Was going to start taking shots at 3/5 soon, but I guess that plan is on hold for the foreseeable future.
Well, I guess we disagree, because my price to allow my government to formally treat me as a second class citizen is a bit higher than that

Did you miss the part where he promises to fuck the rest of us too?
In 2014, having reduced competition through mergers and raised billions of dollars in new baggage-fee revenue, American began reaching stunning levels of financial success. In 2015, it posted a $7.6 billion profit — compared, for example, to profits of about $500 million in 2007 and less than $250 million in 2006.
Instead, American blew most of its cash on a stock buyback spree. From 2014 to 2020, in an attempt to increase its earnings per share, American spent more than $15 billion buying back its own stock. It managed, despite the risk of the proverbial rainy day, to shrink its cash reserves. At the same time it was blowing cash on buybacks, American also began to borrow heavily to finance the purchase of new planes and the retrofitting of old planes to pack in more seats. As early as 2017 analysts warned of a risk of default should the economy deteriorate, but American kept borrowing. It has now accumulated a debt of nearly $30 billion, nearly five times the company’s current market value.

Convincing Trump to dole out a one-time $1000 stipend to all Americans should be easy. Just think of all the TAX DOLLARS the US could stuff in it’s coffers from all that taxable income!!!

I said the same damn thing 100 posts ago.
If the virus kills the airline industry, something good will have come out of this.

They’re going to bail out the airlines. Who is going to stop it, House Democrats? LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Even more irritating is going to be the hotel bailout. It is by nature a highly cyclical industry and prudent operators will have to sit back and watch their idiotic competitors drown in sweet sweet government cash. The GOP loves socialism.

Corporate bailouts are definitely going to be needed here, though. I don’t know about this call to give everyone money in a UBI-ish handout. What are they going to do with it? They’re still going to be stuck at home. This is a demand-side shock. Government relief should come in the form of bailing out failing businesses where appropriate, direct stimulus in the form of federal spending, and France-style suspensions of rent, bills etc.
Questions that will never be asked.
- How will you pay for it?

Commercial real estate is going to be a tough one.
Huge systemic issue, but the prospective beneficiaries are cartoonishly unsympathetic.
