- DeonPenny 6y agoYeh Vox can't be a trusted resource. They never actually give the devil its due and never display the strongest counter argument to it's claim. You could argue the EU for example had a stronger response the the last recession. Yet like Germany growth since them has been in GDP per capita terms 2k. The US gdp per capita grew 20k yet was considered to have a much worse response because how they left so many to figure their life out.
- deeblering4 6y agoWhy all the Vox hate? Real question. I don’t have an informed opinion about the site. With things like high joblessness, rents/mortgages going past due, and unemployment assistance set to expire, the road ahead in the US looks pretty bumpy to me.
- supercanuck 6y agoEconomist is reporting a similar story: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/07/22/americas-backwards-coronavirus-strategy https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/07/22/americas-... >Hence the need for another stimulus package. Democrats released their proposal, a $3.4trn behemoth called the Heroes Act, two months ago. Republicans have gone from suggesting a “pause” on future stimulus, as Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, said in May, to agreeing that something more is needed. Vox's premise isn't controversial.

- aiscapehumanity 6y agoWhether you like Vox or not, what the articles talking about is an overt issue. Berate vox, but don't ignore reality.
- aSplash0fDerp 6y agoThey still have more than 5 minutes left. Don`t fill up on bread. The main course is still coming. Bone apple teet or whatever they say when they don`t use lube.
- aSplash0fDerp 6y agoWell somebody doesn`t appear to be a fan of crisis-mode diplomacy. Congress could have passed this prior to the deadline and avoided the stench of desperation. Nah.... Its good theater...
