Id give anything to ask Trump this question about cheesecake #COVIDIOT #ConronaUpdate #2Trillion
Margaret, they passed a $2.2 trillion dollar stimulus package. For years weve complained about failing schools, homelessness, hunger, affordable healthcare, clean water, clean air Who knew that the real problem was the Cheesecake Factory not able to pay its April rent?
One trillion dollars is a big number. Very big. At first, I thought it was a hundred billion, but I was a zero off. Its one thousand billion or 1,000,000,000,000. How does one get their head around 1,000 billion? Is one million million better? Twelve zeros. Wow.
Well, its a butt load of money for sure. And we got $2.2 trillion. And by we, I mean corporations.
I know. I know. A bunch of people are saying But were all getting a check for $1,200. Well not all. But a lot of us will. So yes. The American taxpayer finally got some relief. Twelve hundred for everyone is a lot of money.
Or maybe not snip

(14,275 posts)because Trump and the "Seven Dumbasses" tell us to and we are not going to open because our Republican Governor tells us to. Unless someone can guarantee that everybody coming into our town offices has been tested, we will continue to have appointment only office hours and do most, if not all of our business on line.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
