(2,458 posts)could be going to homeless shelters. Unfortunately homeless shelters get stretched to their
capacity. They may be now. They have waiting lists & requirements The reality will be living with family & or friends, living in a vehicle, or on the streets Then what? FEMA Work Camps? This administration is so cruel. heartless & they just don't give a damn that I would put nothing past them! Be pro active & send e-mails & make phone calls. In the meantime the GOP looks forward to their new FBI Building & new fighter jets, etc. Best of luck to any of you in this unfortunate situation...

His wife Connie Schultz is brilliant, sassy - and incredibly funny!

(82,849 posts)For one, because it's such a pittance for their well-heeled bankrollers. These guys wipe their ass with $600 every day; it's nothing to them. But for the poors they want to knuckle, it's the difference between staying in their homes and being on the street. It's the difference between feeding your family and starving. And for a handful of those tens of millions of people, it might be more money than they're used to having, which is worse than a hundred Hitlers time Stalin squared!

(5,167 posts)I know people who WOULD get a better deal if they could draw $600 plus the state weekly amount. They all work in 'essential occupations', and yet make maybe $350 to 400 a week working full time.

(6,445 posts)I work in a grocery store that took the PPP. So no layoffs but reduced working hours. My takehome bi weekly after taxes and insurance right now is around $100. Not sure i want to go back to work full time when it's available either. Nor do i really want to send my 11 month old to a daycare center. Basically i'm getting screwed left and right. Ugh.

The Crisis Papers
(5 posts)Does anybody know why Brown dropped out of the presidential race so quickly? He impresses me greatly as a progressive Democratic contender, but he seems to go nowhere when push comes to shove. Any ideas why?

(17,981 posts)Had nothing to do with the $61 million dollar scandal for nuclear and coal. DeWine signed that bill that will cost consumers millions to bail them out.
DeWine also ignored the biggest Charter School scandal in history under Kasich.
Republicans in Ohio have really hit the biggest in history on scandals!

(7,808 posts)The governor of Ohio is a rethug - and would replace Brown with a rethug as OH's junior senator.
As much as I love them, there are a couple Democratic senators from states with rethug guvs. We need them where they are right now because Democrats are working to get a majority in the senate.

(17,981 posts)DeWine would love to replace him. Sherrod knocked Mike out of the Senate. Mike is doing a god o on COVID-19 but he is kissing Spences a** to get supplies. Not a bad word about Trump.
DeWine is just one more Republican who will do anything to win.
