    Trudeau announces $1B fund to respond to COVID-19

    • The gov’t pays those ei benefits, not the employerGnash

    • Yeah they pay it out of money we pay into it. The one week wait period is horseshit. I get it though, something is better than nothing.ben_

    • Yeah, you still have the option eh? it's been a while since i was SE. The benefits are the same, they absolutely suck.ben_

    I can't believe US is screwing up its future for the second time. You had the chance to elect a guy like Bernie twice. A guy that can work towards an actual change unlike Obama's never realized change. A guy that's promising what many European leaders are already doing or working with.
    You're going to run with Biden who is endorsed by Bloomberg?
    And then expect racism, gun ownership, bail-outs not to become a standart?
    This is a proof that most democrats are as shallow as Republicans. Sorry to say but US is doomed to fail if you dont have the guts to introduce some drastic change.

    • oh... it will matter, FNP... and gnash... nobody here owns a machine gun... they're illegal. Biden is an idiot if he thinks a piddly AR15 is a 'machine' gun.PonyBoy
    • There is very little access to actual 'machine' guns. If they exist they were manufactured 1986 or before... they're immensely rare.PonyBoy
    • Anyway... The point of this video is to show some of you clowns that hate how Trump approaches shit that you're basically getting another Trump.PonyBoy
    • Uh, no. You are comparing an adult to a pathetic little man child. I don't like Biden, but there's no comparison.formed
    • "Machine gun" and "assault weapon" is semantics. No one in the real world cares if it's full auto or not, they care about the capabilities of the weapon.formed
    • When you have a 30+ round mag and it can efficiently kill multiple people in a matter of seconds, that's all that matters.formed
    • semantics my ass... lol... stop. Machine guns are rapid fire... pull once and here comes all the bullets. Semi-auto = 1 pull, 1 shot.PonyBoy
    • If you're concerned w/amount the amount of rounds then I suppose you can go after the clips etc... but that's just as silly as going after 'assault weapons'...PonyBoy
    • ... in general (made-up word btw... wtf is an 'assault weapon'? That's what all weapons are used for... assaulting. Cute phrasing makes shit you already...PonyBoy
    • ... are afraid of even more scary. What's confusing to me is the majority of your murders are committed w/minimal shot handguns...PonyBoy
    • ... but you clowns continue to go after the stuff that 'scares' you. Mass shootings make a TINY amount of the murders... AR15's LOOK SCARY...PonyBoy
    • ... but they're barely a medium grade powered gun. The lack of education and BLAMING the weapon these days is what is scary... not the big mean-looking gun.PonyBoy
    • BTW- for the record... I don't own ONE gun so you can go ahead and hold off on your 'gun nutter' comments your working on. :)PonyBoy

    "UK condemns 'cowardly' rocket attack in Iraq that killed British soldier" - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51…

    Not that I'm particularly supportive of our forces getting attacked, but how on Earth can we condemn the enemy's action as 'cowardly' given we use drones to take people out with zero notice?

    Said attack is purported to a symbolic response on what would have been the birthday of the Iranian general taken out at Baghdad airport earlier this year - was that a 'heroic' action?

    A reminder that @TedCruz is being paid $174,000/yr, $14,500/month, $3,346/wk, $669/day to be on Paid Sick Leave but wants YOU to believe that providing Paid Sick Leave to anyone earning $7.25/hr, $290/wk, $1,255.70/month, $15,080/yr is Socialism.

    Who new all it would take is a very viral strain of mostly a non lethal virus (except to a certain population weighing down the entire health industry) to really just gut the global economy. And seeing the politics unfold is amazing. Dems blast trump for little response, than he over does it and every politician begins to question their future as trump did. If i don't make a grand gesture will I be blamed... Will it be used in the elections when its over.

    Albeit their is some hope a quarantine can help based on china. But i'm still skeptical of it. Seen the graphs and prefer less death stretched over time vs fast and done in a month and half. The quick and done reminds me of alex the great and sun tsu. while the stretch out approach seems more harmful. HOWEVER I also don't believe it a natural phenomenon and more a colossal fuck up on bio engineering and I wonder if its smart to have a chicken pox party for all youth and get it over when we don;t know the long term effects of the hiv hook type rna found in it. This could be our generational story though. When it all changed.

    Also I really wonder what the world would think if trump got it, and if he died. And wonder how many countries willingly trying to infect others. But would it be Biden and Weld for global numero uno country or Biden and Pence? Or if he got it and triumphed would trump just use it to coo his stock like hes just the man and win and win and try a third term like the socialist FDR. exciting times, can't get this shit from "reality tv" and masked singers. real world potential changing events.

    • I appreciate you putting this rant as a post, not in the side notes.inteliboy
