    1.5T in corporate tax cuts
    1.5T in emergency bailout wallstreet loans
    Average Joe, fuck off.

    From what I can tell, companies have to pay for the sick leave. In fairness a lot of companies can’t afford that especially those businesses with less that 500 employees.
     
  3. I agree that the government should not be forcing corporations to pay sick leave. I also agree that if they have the money to bailout those same corporations then they can find the money to pay for the sick leave. Cut the corporate bailouts in half and use the other half for paid sick leave. Christ, these fuckers are stupid.
     
  4. heh, Here4Bullshit making his usual contribution by showing how he dresses up like a woman to get into the lifeboats first.

    First thing you want to do in any crisis, is to identify that type of low-lifer early on and move them out.

    Everyone should identify the helpers in their community and become one and support the others. At the same time they should identify the demoralizing trash that will bellyache about everyone else and then try to race you to the lifeboats because "no one did anything about crisis."

    Here4Bullshiite and his tard-buddies confirm that that type of behavior exists online as well.
    When the going gets tough they will dress up like women and try to get in the lifeboats. They already sit down when they pee so they do not have that far to go.

    My understanding is the payroll would be backed by uncle Sam.
     
  6. Which is exactly what should happen, especially considering it is the heavy hand of the government which is driving this "pause" and cancelling all events. Once again the boardroom boyz get theirs, Joe Lunch-bucket takes it up the ass. Wouldn't mind seeing this virus sweep through the Halls Of Congress.

    That’s only by a statement by trump. We know what that is worth.

    It's my understanding that the bipartisan House bill that passed Friday provides paid sick for 2 weeks for anyone that works at a company of less than 500 people. You would have to think that large corporations will provide paid sick leave for their employees that test positive for the virus as well, because they would be crucified in the media if they didn't. I doubt this will end up being a problem.

    You're likely right, though I don't see how a senator (as in video) would take a contrarian position.

    I'm in an F500, just got email of paid leave (if sick), back to the grinder tomorrow.
     
  10. Without the corporations no leftist liberal would have their lowly job.
