First what good does a curfew do? the hours most cities are setting are pointless. 10 PM to 5 am? Who is out then anyway and everything is closed anyhow. The worst anyone would be doing is driving and what harm does that do to anyone? I think it's just a way to get more money in the county cash box.
Unemployment. I understand the need and IM not saying people don't need unemployment. But 600 extra a week? people are at home and spending less money so why do benefits need to go up? Heck most people are now making more unemployed then they did at their regular job. I know several people who are now making more unemployed than they did working. They said they won't be in any hurry to look for work. why would they?
I understand there are all these things going on now but some of these solutions make zero sense.
Like the stimulus check thresholds. they are way too high. the threshold for a married couple to get a sliding scale check is 150 to 200 thousand dollars? IM sorry if you make 150 to 200 thousand dollars a year you in all likelihood don't need a check at all. Let alone a slide scale one that will probably be a couple hundred dollars. That will be nothing to them. while 1200 is a nice amount for poor families it will still leave them struggling. lower the thresholds and give more to the poor.
Did you know the stimulus bill is like 1100 pages long? thos 1200 dollar checks we are getting are nothing compared to the provisions for companies and and the rich. it's the old look at my left hand and don't look at what the right hands doing. while we are being distracted by 1200 dollars they are giving themselves millions.
Basically its all bullsquate.
