Government at its finest...

They have to create a program that deals with the problems they created themselves with a previous program. Get this:

Mr. Portman’s office settled on the amount by surveying benefits and wages in each state to come up with an average amount by which most people would be better off working than staying at home. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, meaning that a minimum-wage worker in states without a higher minimum, or floor, makes roughly $290 a week. The $450 payment each week on top of that base amount was designed with such low-wage workers in mind, in order to leave such employees better off than by taking $600 a week to stay home.

Government never should have paid people more to be on unemployment than to work anyway. Portman lives in my area. This is not his finest moment

If they didn’t treat that crash victim for pneumonia, I don’t think they’ll be seeing pneumonia-level reimbursements.

A good read on this topic for anyone who is interested. We won't have a solid answer anytime soon, of course.

The Uncounted Dead

In a lot of states the number of pneumonia deaths in March was higher than what you’d expect for that time of year, or for the level of influenza active during that time — an important detail, given that pneumonia can often be a complication of that disease as well. These increases were particularly noticeable in New Jersey, Georgia, Illinois, Washington and New York, according to research led by Dan Weinberger, a professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Medicine. But pneumonia isn’t the only way COVID-19 kills.

My mother in law died from a heart attack 3 weeks back now. We were asked repeatedly by the county if we wanted to have a C19 test done. We repeatedly said no. They may have done it anyway. I get tired of the deniers thinking that we had thousands die from Covid 19 this year and literally no one has said anything about normal flu. The numbers are inflated, without linking anything, the only reason to do that is to gain $$ from the feds.

Condolences to you and your family on the passing of your mother in law.

A Texas Bar Owner Is Banning Masked Customers and for a Logical Reason

A bar owner in Elgin, Texas, has decided that wearing a mask inside his bar should be prohibited, but his reasoning is pretty solid.

According to KXAN, co-founder of the Liberty Tree Tavern, Kevin Smith, has told customers that if they believe they need to be wearing a mask then they don’t need to be at a bar, they need to be staying home.

I don’t see Jeff Bezos not stumping for Amazon or Warren Buffett stop investing in stocks . The Gates foundation is all about some pandemic , vaccine and dispersed ions in the air to reflect the suns heat . I would rather a person with more money than most countries dabble in other hobbies like collecting baseball cards or buying expensive horses for his daughter to ride .

Do you know how many people the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has helped? It’s not hyperbole to say they have helped saved millions of lives.
