We got a couple here at the house. They make a huge difference when you can't breathe.
Really glad you were able to beat the bug.

Just curious. What is the take from everyone on the Texas judge that jailed the mother for keeping her salon open because she had to feed her kids. This after Dallas County has released around 1000 inmates due to the virus. I could give you my take but it is not pretty or politically correct by any stretch of the imagination.
Really hard for my answer to keep politics out of this one. Let's just say that judge could go you know what to himself. People can't just sit around and watch everything they have worked for just go down the drain. She said she really did it for her employees because they needed money for their family too.
It's amazing that people still don't get it.
Give $2,000 to someone poor and $2,000 to a business, which one recirculates into the economy quicker.
But nooooooooo we need to bailout business and let people do non-essential jobs in the name of trickle down economics.
If you seriously can't see the issue there then you are a blind sheep plain and simple.
"If you're over 40 and not a republican, you don't have a brain."
Nah if you're over 40 and a republican, you're just whipped into submission by daddy capitalism. No surprise there from the generation who's defining war was losing to charlie in the chocolate tree with a death count 8X what the generation defining war took now. Boomers aren't strong. They're weak. Whipped into submission. Doing daddy capitalism's bidding.
Imagine bragging about your day. You're the weak generation who lost a war. You're the weak generation who let the income gap get ridiculously out of hand. You're the weak generation whose leadership has guided the US away from being the greatest country in the world. You are the weak. Period. Your generation will go down in history as the worst generation of the United States.
Imagine thinking someone deserves to control 100 billion dollars. They are so skilled. Drop Jeff Bezos down at the shipyard and he would work circles around those unskilled laborers. He deserves, he's so awesome. Those unskilled laborers should have went to college. Boomers did it back in their day with a small loan from daddy and a summer job that would pay all of tuition. ****ing disconnected from reality twats. You probably pay for an accountant too. Anyone who does, doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to economics. You already defer how to handle your own dollars, don't you dare give input how to handle the whole economies.
She should have saved up and been prepared for this. She should have stopped eating out so much and living beyond her means. She shouldn't have so much credit card debt. If she didn't want this problem why was she buying starbucks. Getting out of poverty is easy if she would just save and stop spending frivolously. It's her own fault.
Oh my goodness, you can not live in the US with an attitude like yours. You must live in Moscow with daddy Putin!!!. You are brainwashed into communism!!!
You are one miserable individual, are you happy with anything other than communism?? Do yourself a favor and GROW UP!!!
I hear you. I've already asked for this and he answered with the exact things I requested him not to answer my questions with. Just be prepared to be told how stupid you are and you just don't "get it".
He's apparently the only person who does "get it" and is blinded with hate and ignorance because he is right and everyone else is wrong.
It's like attempting to speak to a child who hasn't had their nap in two days.
If you seriously think you have identified the issue you are just simple. THere are lots of complaints about the corona related stimulus. But the reason they tried to save businesses is that they want people to stay employed. Businesses are just a conglomeration of economic arrangements and if you let them fail, there are a lot of transaction costs to just recreating those businesses after they fail. If you want to make an argument that the US should let businesses fail and that's part of capitalism and failing from a pandemic is just part of the risks, that's fine. But it's not an issue of trickle down economics, which is just a made up phrase to begin with and basically a campaign slogan by the left, not an actual policy.
Thte saying is if you're a democrat at 40 you don't have a brain. There are plenty of reasons to not be a republican. You do have to swallow a lot of idiocies to be a democrat now. But as long as you realize you are doing it and it's just because you think that's a less bad option than the republican party, I would agree the saying even in its correct form is overbroad.
There are the worst generation, but not sure it's because of the reasons you claim. They basically voted to promise themselves that future taxpayers would pay them a shit ton of money; more than they would be willing to pay the tax burden to support. There are lots of complaints to have about them, but that's probably the most damning. They were the first generation to be prosperous enough for long enough that they could afford to have stupid beliefs and do things like enter a war without a commitment to winning it. Not sure any of your other complaints are valid though.
As long as he is not taking your money, why do you care if Bezos has a lot of money? Him chasing state and local incentives is distasteful, but once government gets into the business of giving out incentives for those projects, that's part of the business landscape and it's hard to pass up those incentives when competitors have access to them (and arguably he has a fiduciary duty to take them, since he's a minority owner in Amazon). If you think Bezos doesn't deserve any money, that's fine. You don't have to use any amazon projects. But if other people choose to do so it's not really any of your business.
Boomers certainly had a lot of things easier, and the people that took out massive student loans 10+ years ago have a pretty decent complaint that they were screwed with a lot of bad information about "good debt". But the people that are the biggest whiners about student debt now are people that picked expensive options for college, often getting non-marketable degrees.
Yea, you don't know what accountants do but you think you're competent to vote for people to manage the economy? Just FYI, accountants have different roles, and certainly some basically act as financial analysts and help people/companies decide which projects to invest in, but generally having an accountant doesn't mean somebody is "defer[ring] how to handle [their] own dollars."
Please ban this 17’n idiot from the board. And lock this political thread.
Man do I feel fortunate! I just made the cut as Generation X'er and not a boomer! It was close but I made it in, blessed! lol
