Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

USDA handles food stamps, vouchers etc. Grocery stores sell food. Or am I incorrect that my idea might be a decent starting point?

Last 2 Bills that Trump signed into law.... šŸ¤”
Snap benefits increased to maximum amounts per family size and eligibility relaxed;
schools providing free breakfast and lunch to kids;
TANF available at $1000 for families with kids;
waiting week waived, eligibility expanded and $600 increase in weekly unemployment benefits;
stimulus payment of $1200 per adult and $500 per child.
and it’s tax refund time...

I see, but the question I was responding to was how to manage a potential crisis of people being out of work, who are not currently on any assistance, and not able to buy food.

The existing food stamp programs seem to be a good place to start, was what I suggested.

In the entirety of the history of humanity, never has there been a person who spoke so much and said little of any value than Mike Pence. My God, its just one vague promise followed by four platitudes, kissing Trump's ass, followed by another empty platitude.

The $600 per week unemployment is also an option
 
Really?
At a time like this, you are accusing Trump of trolling hard. Do you actually think he would be that petty?
He isn't being petty, he is being him. Jesus whats wrong with you libs today. Its like Trump has only been in office for 3 months or something and you are just now finally wiping the rage foam from your mouths. Do you people not learn?

No one is more responsible for the collapse than the media

So Trump should be concerning himself with trolling them? What is this, second grade?

I’m no fan of the media with all this either, but as the boss, Trump should rise above it. If he is concerning himself with poking them in the eye then that should be an issue to everybody, right and left.

Why can’t the media just report what needs to be reported and nothing more, and why can’t the POTUS be a grown-*** adult about it?

So, we should send out sick people to the polls, because you think if they can't make it they are pussies?

But, OK... you'r actually ok with mailing ballots, afterall.

I think I'm following you now.

I’m for following established laws for voting and not changing them for this event.

I would also like to see absentee ballots and early voting done away with.

But if there was ever a time for some potential adaptations, this would be it. Hopefully not necessary, but we may just have to disagree on this.

Nolte: Advertising Karma Hits Corporate Media and the New York Times Calls for Bailout

Due to the coronavirus and a healthy dose of karma, newspaper advertising is drying up, and these same newspapers are now laying staffers off and slashing salaries while the far-left New York Times’ media columnist screams for a bailout.

Before I get to the karma part, here are the details…

On Monday, we learned the Tampa Bay Times is suspending its print publication from seven to two days a week. That’s not a typo. A newspaper that had been printing every day of the week will now print only on Wednesday and Sunday.

This, however, is not due to a lack of clicks.

ā€œThe company reported a surge in traffic to its website … and growth in digital subscriptions over the last few weeksā€ but ā€œthe pandemic sent advertising sales into a plunge. In just the last two weeks, [advertising] cancellations have cost us more than $1 million, and there is no sign of quick recovery on the horizon. We must act now.ā€

Gannett, one of the largest newspaper companies in the country, publisher of, among others, USA Today, the Des Moines Register, and Arizona Republic, announced a sweeping round of furloughs. A memo from Gannett CEO Paul Bascobert asked employees to immediately make a ā€œcollective sacrifice … as soon as this week.ā€

ā€œOur plan is to minimize long-term damage to the business by implementing a combination of furloughs and pay reductions,ā€ the memo explains.

Finally, Chicago’s Daily Herald is slashing newsroom salaries by 15 percent and salaries at its parent company by 20 percent.

And with this news, all released on Monday (the floundering BuzzFeed cut salaries by up to 25 percent last week), the far-left New York Times published a panicked and ludicrous bailout proposal…

ā€œThe coronavirus is likely to hasten the end of advertising-driven media. … And government should not rescue it,ā€ the Times columnist says, which is fair enough: The thought of my tax dollars funding people who hate me is a bit much.

What the Times wants, though, is sugar daddies to save journalism. Get this…
