If half the country is out of work they might not have a choice. They will try anything to prevent economic collapse.

Yeah, but Bush never sent $1000+ to every American adult. This is more UBI-esque territory.

Italy is waiving people's mortgage. It's an extreme time. If people are out of work and can't pay their bills that could cascade into a serious economic crisis.

Is it 1k a month or just one time?

Some Republicans say the sick leave rule is an unfair mandate on businesses struggling to stay afloat as local governments order closures and markets plunge. Critics who wanted a more expansive sick leave provision point out that it only covers about 20 percent of private sector workers. Businesses with more than 500 workers are covered, and businesses with fewer than 50 employees can apply for an exemption.
Pissant thunder****s.

I agree but I don't think they're savvy enough to pull anything off. There are already talking about postponing primaries, I wouldnt be surprised if we saw a postponement of the general election.
