Conservatives never miss the chance to stand up for cruel policies and they just love to kick other Americans in the face when they're down.

How very dystopian of San Francisco to temporarily prevent renters who have lost their job/income due to the corona virus from being evicted out onto the streets. You guys are salivating at the thought of a surge of homelessness in major urban areas due to the corona virus. That way the virus can spread much more quickly and kill off all those liberal "elites" in places like SF. Very cunning of you and very heartless.

Now when it comes to major financial institutions and well off investors, money is no object. Of course we must help out those over paid CEO's and their shady lending institutions. From the Washington Post:

Quote:
The central bank will beef up its purchases of U.S. Treasurys by $500 billion over the coming months, along with another $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities. The moves Sunday come on the heels of the Fed making an emergency interest rate cut on March 3 and a large $1.5 trillion injection into the bond market last week to ensure sufficient liquidity for normal market operations.
$1.5 TRILLION for the Wall Street billionaires so that their investments in bonds will continue to pay off. Not a peep about this from any of you. But a sick working class woman with two little kids to care for who gets an $800.00 reprieve to avoid being evicted? Why that's communism! Let her die and the sooner the better.

You people make me sick to my stomach.

And from what I understand he did all he could to get them to deal with this and beef up staffing. But all he got was a nasty phone call.

Tell them what obvious? That Americans are idiots and there would never be enough TSA agents available to deal with them?

I don't know what the airlines have done in terms of refunds. Trips bought and paid for. Time off from work already approved. Vacations are big expenses and people want to close the deal.

It is like we have socialism for the upperclass and capitalism for everyone else.

It is to protect you and me from the millenials and other young folks who are not taking this seriously. Too many do not understand or do not care. That is what makes it downright dangerous for us elders to be out in public.
