>But now that we're past the election the Republicans don't really have any reason to pass a large stimulus bill.
And neither do the democrats since they already won.
- DangitBobby 6y agoIs there anything that leads you to believe that democrats had something to do with negotiating it down?
- konjin 6y agoOther than not accepting the republican offer that was twice the size of this one before the election? No, not really. In the same way I have no proof that a coin which lands heads 50 times in a row is biased.
- cma 6y agoExcept that the earlier one proposed to remove all business liability for negligent or even malicious coronavirus safety practices and this one doesn't have anything on that yet, right?
- bsder 6y agoSo you're good with businesses that were running a betting pool on how many of their employees got Covid having full legal immunity? Complete Covid liability exemption for businesses is one of the provisions in the bill you're saying the Democrats should have passed. Just making sure where you stand. That's all.
- parsimoniousplb 6y agoThe democratic party is the party of the affluent and sacrosant, so it's no surprise that they opt to make a million poor families suffer so one injustice wouldn't slide. Their fragile world view remains intact, while none of their constituents pay the price. Just the make sure where you stand.
- bsder 6y ago> so one injustice wouldn't slide Amazon has pending lawsuits about this in multiple countries. Meat packers are staring down lawsuits about this across several states. These lawsuits cover millions of employees. If you are trying to argue that there was just a single instance of this kind of offense, you're in a world of fantasy. And it's a tossup as to whether they're going to get more from the lawsuits or from government assistance--both are going to be woefully inadequate.
