22 million on unemployment. This doesn't take into account the 10s of millions more who are working with reduced hours or wages, or both. From 3 to 13% unemployment, with millions and millions more now underemployed and not reflected. 2 trillion dollar bailout to be paid for one day, and more to come on top of that. Thousands of small businesses shuttered forever. Personal liberties casually thrown away all over the country.
Was it worth it? Well if it saves just one life....fuck Grandma. Open this up before we are in the middle of the next Great Depression for a decade. Jesus Fucking Christ almighty we have fucked ourselves good this tim. Imagine subjecting yourself to bread lines and record unemployment to combat the flu. Imagine that. We, as a society, are the worst kind of pussies.

PPP funds are depleted - shit gets real when Joe Average misses a couple paychecks in a row.
That said, I do think there are going to be some 'good' things coming out of this debacle. I hope to FUCK the sheeple wake up and quit voting in the same fuckwads that are playing political games right now. Both sides. Anybody who voted for museums and NPR in the stimulus package bill should be on the GTFO list.
The Throbber does think there is going to be a re-analysis of how work is done. There's going to be a lot more automation and AI implementations in the next year or two. Businesses are going to invest in processes that are not people dependent - the great prognosticator Yang predicted that. It's just going to come stronger and faster than the timeframe he laid out.
MAGATARDS!!!!!!
The economic news is downplayed while the fear is still being overplayed. The time to focus on the economy is October..........
Wednesday’s protests in Michigan show that draconian state lockdown orders – if allowed to continue too long – threaten the voluntary law-abiding character of the American people.
State governors, who truly control whether the economy stays open or shut, must better explain their reasons for their trade-offs between slowing the spread of the coronavirus pandemic versus throwing millions out of work and destroying billions in economic activity.
If their people disagree, these leaders risk sparking civil disobedience that will undermine their political and legal systems.
Michigan’s Conservative Coalition organized what was called “Operation Gridlock” Wednesday, in which members drove their cars throughout the state capital city, Lansing, to protest the lockdown ordered by governor Gretchen Whitmer.
According to Fox News, “demonstrators blasted their horns, waved Americans flags and hoisted placards deriding Whitmer’s orders and demanding that she reopen the state’s economy.”
I'm trying to figure out why its a bad thing that my fellow Trumptrash are leading the way to freedom here.
Now its passing the buck. Couple days ago it was none of Trump's business. Fuck off Cuomo. Here's my offer
During a press conference on Friday, Cuomo discussed the president’s set of guidelines titled "Opening up America Again,” which passes the decision on when to move to each phase to governors and local officials.
"The federal government has passed three bills to address this crisis. Of those three bills, the state governments have gotten precisely zero, zilch, nada in unrestricted aid," Cuomo said Friday. ”That is passing the buck without passing the bucks.”
“Don’t ask the states to do this without the funding,” Cuomo said Friday, adding that putting the onus on the states without the funding necessary to have a successful reopening is “the opposite of the buck stops here.”
He added: “Don’t pass the buck without passing the bucks.”
Cuomo noted that more federal funding is needed for hospitals as his state grapples with its status as the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
The president fired back on Twitter minutes later, slamming the governor for "complaining."
"Governor Cuomo should spend more time 'doing' and less time 'complaining'. Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking!" Trump tweeted Friday touting his administration's efforts in New York.
The Throbber has done a ton of deals over the years. In not a single one has the capital provider said "Hey, how much do you want? And while you're at it, go ahead and spend it for whatever you would like".
There are ALWAYS conditions for use of proceeds. ALWAYS.
This just accelerated the robot/AI job replacement time table significantly.
Then who you gonna cry to???
So don't motherfuck me.
I'm too lazy to Google it.
