    So you agree that this "pandemic" isn't unusual and we shouldn't focus on dealing with it but we should shoe horn some nude green eel crap into it because. We appreciate your mindless service to the hive.

    It is unusual and we should focus on dealing with it. The point was that earmarking is fairly common. The tone of the post suggested outrage at something that happens all the time.

    Lowlights from the Meglamaniac’s proposal:

    -Increased fuel emission standards for airlines receiving funds and carbon offsets

    -Payment for up to $10,000 in student loans

    -Same-day voter registration, early voting, voting by mail, ballot harvesting (Dem ability to cheat provision)

    -Preserving collective bargaining powers for unions

    -Post Office Bailout

    -The expansion of wind and solar tax credits

    -Requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data
    The bill demands that corporate recipients of financial assistance are required to report racial and gender data regarding salaries, number of employees, supplier diversity, and membership on corporate boards. It also requires federal agencies to use businesses and financial institutions owned by minorities or women

    -Automatic extension of nonimmigrant visas.

    -Restricting colleges from providing information about citizenship status

    -Money for Planned Parenthood

    Lots of good things there, save the student loan bailout and the affirmative action-like silliness. Some will get included, some won’t. Some Republican provisions will get added, some won’t.

    Either side would (and are) shoehorn things into a bill this massive. The outrage here as if this is unusual is odd.
    Could you cite for me things from a Conservative wish list that Republicans put into this bill? Whether you feel there are "good things" in the bill is irrelevant. How does expanding tax credits for solar and wind deal with the virus?

    Geezus. So it is unusual. But then you think we should treat it as common. Slo Joe appreciates your mental acuity and your support.

    I read something about Planned Parenthood, I don’t know, it’s in there. It doesn’t matter though, that’s not my argument. The comment is the outrage at putting non-corona virus specific things in the bill. Happens all the time, both sides, all bills, the majority of the provisions having nothing to do with a spirit of any bill ever passed. Crazy, right?

    Tax credits for solar and wind have zero to do with the virus combatting. Savvy though.

    To demand this while the economy is tanking and families are suffering is pretty despicable.

    “Requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data
    The bill demands that corporate recipients of financial assistance are required to report racial and gender data regarding salaries, number of employees, supplier diversity, and membership on corporate boards.

    It’s not both sides,

    Yeah that’s a little funky to throw in there, I agree. Is it skewed towards Democrat demands? Sure, probably. Does it ever happen in reverse with bills the Dems want to push through? Sure. This time? Maybe not. Other times? Sure.

    It’s a mad mad mad mad world.
