no bailouts for corporations and/or shareholders please. only for employees

corporations will just vanish the money. shareholders assume risk when they buy stock and that's their choice. the workers who actually generate the true wealth may need help.

Many small businesses operate at small margins and could be wiped out by something like this. Which would leave their employees without jobs as well. Small businesses hit hard by the virus and resulting closures/decreased business should be able to get relief too.

from having to pay sick leave for coronavirus. Any corporation with more than five hundred employees will not have to give paid sick leave as the bill stands. As of this moment the Coronavirus Aid Package is mostly smoke and mirrors.

Mnuchin is in charge of this pending give away. Noticed the first go around is being cut as we speak for those looking for Emergency Pay as well as Health care dollars.

Most of the 850 billion will go directly to Airlines and Hotels and Casino's with the Orange Anus taking a billion or so to cover his Russian Loans.

Same shit as 2009 just another decade later.
