those same airline companies we have been bailing out for years now? Why are they laying off anyone? LOL The amount of money the government have thrown in their basket is insane.

Yeesh. Endless bailouts for corporations/executives , drug heads that keep breeding more children.. How about the WORKER with no kids for once? Bail us out nicely for a change. At least give a year supply of toilet paper. Maybe 200 steaks to throw on the grill over the course of a few years. Executives and breeding druggies have had enough bailouts

Don't know if you were aware but because COVID was so rampant in the US, most countries banned us from going there. Of course, with no overseas travel, airlines suffered.

These countries have banned U.S. travelers due to the coronavirus pandemic

Will also rescue small businesses such as restaurants and mom & pop stores. I cannot understand why not one GOP member voted for it.

So why continuously bail them out then for so many years when they are always itching to layoff people while shoving the bailout money in their pockets at the executive level? Makes no sense. Just let them go bankrupt.

Theres no reason to letting companies off the hook when management is going to pocket all the dough and destroy the lives of their employees anyways. Companies like that don't deserve to be in business

Hang on! The jobs of the 21st century are in renewable energy projects. Not 19th century old technology.

Oh Jan. Your blind partisanship is painful to watch.

Biden and his voters killed over 100k Americans. Just wait and see what they do to the economy.

LOL. Given where we are at, this is gonna be a slog to recover from. None of the numbers that will be thrown around will make any sense. One side will go on about job gains-when starting this low will not be hard to get. The other will go on about median unemployment in first 2 years in office nonsense.

Were going to have to judge how well we are doing by seeing what all comes out of the overall decisions.
