Bad News Thread

Highlights of the Biden plan. The testing is insanity. By the time it is in place the worst of the crisis will have passed....it only ensures testing casedemics will be used to shut schools, sports and businesses into the future since they aren't going to have all those COVID testing sites sit empty. The eviction moratorium is going to cause increasing structural damage to the underlying economy the longer it goes on. The overall amount also increases the likelihood of a stagflation scenario. The $15 minimum wage will hurt small businesses at a time they are looking to get on their feet and make it less likely Rs like Collins, Murkowski and Romney will sign onto this and also posses a stagflation risk.

Continuing the eviction moratorium is so misguided. Proof of how stupid our politicians are and their hatred for owners of any sort. My 88 year old mom has a couple rental units that she relies on for income. A jackass tenant is using Covid as an excuse and hasn't paid in 8 months and is such an asshole he caused the other tenant to moveout. She has absolutely no ability to evict him, he continues to live rent free while she struggles. Eventually she might be able to get a judgement for unpaid rent which wont be worth the paper its written on. Unfortunately, the stress may get to her before he can even be evicted. So shameful.

My parents are in the same boat. What’s worse is they were all set to ride out their year long isolation at the beach house but the tenant stopped paying and they couldn’t do anything about it.

Giant middle finger to seniors who with hard work developed a small RE portfolio so they didn't have to rely on SS. I'd say that landlords should get a bailout as well, but honestly we can't spend our way out of the lockdown. Unfortunately just more legislation to have citizens be dependent on government support.

You are absolutely right in landlords should receive the bailout for the problems they caused with state and federal government moratoriums. Unfortunately Biden’s latest 1.9 trillion bailout plan will focus on state governments. More school union payoffs and any other special interest they need to payoff for his election. Completely corrupt government we have across the board.
 
Not a reason for them to halt vaccination or to dissuade anyone from taking it, but this probably will add fuel to the public health expert's fire that they need to mandate the vaccine "to protect the vulnerable".
 
Who is he eff is stupid enough to wear a mask while playing? Just shows the dearth of knowledge.
Some states are only letting kids return to practice and/or Play with a mask on at ALL times. LA Co has said gyms can open up outdoors but a mask must be worn at all times. So you ask who is stupid enough...out so called leaders who demand it. That’s who! Especially the one who states we should wear a mask while eating, removing between bites but minimize how often you touch your mask!

Aid for state and local governments: Biden wants to provide state, local and territorial governments with $350 billion in emergency funding to help them keep front-line workers employed and aid with vaccine distribution, COVID-19 testing, reopening schools and "maintaining other vital services."

Funding for state and local governments emerged as one of the most contentious issues during nearly a half-year of relief negotiations between Democrats and Republicans, who decried the proposal as a "blue-state bailout." Unable to compromise on the issue, lawmakers eventually decided to exclude state and local government aid from the $900 billion relief deal they passed in December.

Let ‘em play!
 
Biden has appointed Andy Slavitt to the covid task force. Andy slavit is an Econ/mba guy and doesn’t hold a medical or health policy degree. That’s not fatal for me (but what happened to only listen to epidemiologists?). But worse yet he’s been wrong about everything. Advocated the initial slow the spread lockdowns. Then said if we extended 6-8 we’d all be fine. Then said masks would make it disappear. Then advocated Chinese style lockdowns. But what worst is that he believes these npis failed because we didn’t listen and obey (not because the policies suck). He’s the worst of the worst of team panic. Not reason to be optimistic so far about Biden’s covid task force.

what is optimistic is now d leaders like light foot and cuomo (now that they no longer have trump to take down) are singing new tunes on lockdowns.

And yet the politicians think the people won’t notice because they waited until January to start changing their tune. I am not sure a majority of people pay enough attention to understand what democratic led states did was just to hurt the economy in turn hurting Trump. They have purposefully hurt our children and small business owners to gain power. Could you ever imagine politicians purposefully hurting their constituents and getting away with it in America? The only hope someone will be held accountable is if Newsom is recalled. Those who vote democrat hated Trump so much they have turned a blind eye to what has been done here. I hope in their hearts they reflect on what took place. I hope both sides start to bring forward moderates so that we get away from the far left and right politicians. They are bad for the people. This comment includes Trump. While his economic policies helped America his willingness to make everyone who disagreed with him an enemy hurt the country. Though you may agree with him that Washington is filled with corrupt politicians on both sides, he should have realized they were necessary to get his policies enacted. His attack on the MSM while the truth has created a democratic marketing tool. Sometimes people might watch just the first 10 minutes of the news. With it being all negative towards Trump it hurt him big time. The MSM is also bad for our country because they have come together under one narrative which is typically left leaning and globalistic. Looks like the Democrats are happy with this as it is benefitting them now. They may want to look long term and tell themselves if they want companies like Twitter and Amazon dictating to them what should happen in this country. Don’t create a monster you cannot stop.
 
Someone did a breakdown of his prior posts on twitter. If I find them I'll post it....otherwise if you are curious I suggest you slog through the mess that is Slavitt's back twitter posts. He's been very vocal on the pro-scared side.

What does he have to be scared of? Hundreds of thousands of deaths?
