No distribution, and they would've stopped counting deaths and infections.
Some countries are actually doing that right now. Covid deaths are reclassified as "pneumonia"
Covid: Does Tanzania have a hidden epidemic?
The Tanzanian authorities have not published data on coronavirus infections or deaths for many months.

While the rescue package is still too small, there’s things about it that are cause for optimism, especially when compared to the Democratic approach in 2009.
One, we crossed a watershed, at least as far as consensus within the Democratic Caucus is concerned. The Clinton-Gingrich consensus is being rejected. The notion that poverty is a moral failing and therefore, what little direct aid poor people get must be accompanied by “corrective” measures like work/volunteer requirements, parental education, nutritional education, mandatory job training ect. That is being rejected by more and more Democrats. For the most part, poor people are poor because they have no money and the best approach to tackling poverty is to give people money.
Two, related to item one, Democrats are starting to move away from the idea that we can only deal with stagnant wages and unemployment though worker retraining or “upskilling.” While worker training and further education has a place and probably needs more resources, it’s a fact that most workers already have valuable skills and what they need are measures to boost aggregate demand for those skills and the way to do that is with fiscal stimulus which this bill provides.
Third, no more of this submerged state ********. In 2009, the Democratic Party, still somewhat under the long shadow of Reaganism, felt the need to hide its recovery efforts and/or to launder it through your employer. This time, people are getting a good deal of money put into their hands. Obviously this is related to item one, the distrust of low income workers is finally dissipating among congressional Democrats.

fam really said "This parking lot is the hub of the community."
NIMBY's are a scourge and they must be eradicated.
This post is worth a bump because America saw this NIMBY buffoonery, and knew that they need to one-up Canada and show the world we are still the leaders when it comes to NIMBYISM.
USA! USA! USA!....
Can't let folk have affordable housing because....check notes.....hold up really....rechecks notes.....cayotes might run off with their kids

Well said. I agree 100%.
I bet these folks who want to move in there don't even have a full cabinet of guns to put down the 30-50 feral hogs that want to take their children.

Until reading this, the most original NIMBY claim I had every seen was when, SOAR (Save our Agricultural Resources) the leading NIMBY institution in Ventura County, said that any further development in Ventura County would reduce the local supply of citrus and it would cause scurvy as a result.

In other news the NYPD has discovered that people of color are 1566% more likely to use marijuana than whites!
If we give them even more money they can make even more discoveries. They're like a friendlier version of NASA

How have the dozen states that legalized marijuana swept all those child deaths under the rug?
And Florida listed THOUSANDS of covid deaths as pneumonia.

As a diabetic myself, my doctor did not discuss with me that racism could be an issue with sugar spikes.

I've learned a lot these past few years, like racist sometimes aren't racist, they just have triggers like ambien or diabetes, and the only fix is four years n-word school because 3 isn't enough. Serious stuff.

Yes yes and sorry to hear. When your insulin dips below a certain level you will start to say racial slurs. It’s just natural. Also, your butt will really hurt when you wake up
