The government faced an unprecedented viral pandemic in a society that moves around like none other in history. I was not forced to do anything. Just like your business mine was exempt. Many were not exempt because of the close contact between customers. It was bad for the economy but the lives it saved justified the temporary shut downs for those most vulnerable. I think many of the shut downs began with DJT.
You keep saying forced. Were you forced to do anything like take the money from the government or to stop working? Especially because you say that you do not pay employees to not work I am wondering if you took the money from the government.
Student loans were given to help students get an education. Education helps the students get jobs. Education is therefore a job creator. Corporations are called job creators and get all sorts of welfare from reduced impact fees to tax benefits. You should know this.
Young people who do not go to college generally do go right to work or live off someone else. Those who are motivated to work and lost work because of the temporary shut downs got help from the government. It was handled.
I do not think reparations is practical but I do understand the discussion. America took land from Native Americans. I think we should own our faults, listen and find functional solutions. Your "left leaning" statement is worse than silly. It borders inhuman. I really hope you figure that out one day before you cross that border...
How many lives did shutting down our economy save?
Are you seriously stating Trump regulated the shutdowns?
Our office staff was forced to stay home
I was not forced to take PPP money but I did, why wouldn't I?
I took exactly what was used to compensated our staff which was the intent of the program
Education is not a job creator on any level in any way
Give me an example of welfare or reduced impact fees any corporation gets
Employers should get tax benefits based on the amount of employees they have (directly proportional with the amount of taxes they pay)
The ppp money was greatly mishandled not handled
America took our land from which native Americans? and who did they take it from? and who did they take it from? If possible try to be accurate in your accusation so it will be easy to break down your argument. Every single country and piece of ground existing today has been taken from someone else at some point in time.
Sorry if your feeling got hurt by me calling some of the left leaning ideas silly
