Thanks for the political analysis, cujo. While you're at it, take a look inward at our own industry. Who's been funding the majority of our paychecks since April? You must be returning each paycheck out of principle then, being the staunch defender of capitalism you present on here.
You disagree with the HEROES Act bill passed in the House, congrats. I'm sure the same goes for many members of the Senate that's why there's reconciliation to bridge the gap between it and the HEALS Act.
None of that disproves the point I made in the prior post. A party driven to derail the economy would be hellbent on obstructing the legislative process instead of passing bills providing essential workers hazard pay and ensuring those who lost their jobs as a result of the pandemic receive some extra money to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and maybe have a little extra to spend somewhere else to help keep the economy afloat until we defeat the virus and can begin an economic rebound in earnest.
