Coronavirus: COVID-19

Cuomo says Senate's $2 trillion coronavirus bill would be 'terrible' for New York

Quote:

Cuomo said the bill provides $3.8 billion for New York State, of which only $1.3 billion will be sent to New York City.

"Sounds like a lot of money," Cuomo said. But it's far below the shortfall in revenue that the state projects it will face, which the governor said could total $15 billion.

"That is a drop in the bucket" compared with what New Yorkers need, he said. "How do you plug a $15 billion hole with $3.8 billion? You don't."

That’s brilliant. Bitch about 3.8 B when the other offer is nothing.

You want $15? Take this and then start pining for another. You take what’s there and then go for more. I don’t just want $1200. But you take it. And then try to get more. You’re not going to get everything in one bill. Perfect is the enemy of good and good is way better than nothing.

If not really think about it. I’m NOT getting paid time off.

Unemployment is pending. Think how I feel.

I'm not giving you any money.

I get it, and I believe you are entitled to disaster aid money and it sucks how long it's taking. But ffs take it up with your state officials that you didnt vote for. The bill in question would also give a ton of undeserved bailout money to trump business and Corporations etc, and you'd get a measly one-time check for $1200? Truly, how far will that get you, it doesn't even cover my half of rent. It's just like ugh I thought you stood for something but you really only stand for yourself.

Maybe Biden can save us. He would've bent to whatever the GOP wanted like a good bipartisan.

I do not have enough money to cover rent and utilities next month and it’s been offered and cockblocked twice now

Yeah I only care for myself - it’s crunch time

And to slam it personal like that - because I will take my record of hands on brutal ass work caring for the disabled and all kinds of **** I’ve done up against your record or anyone here

Those huge corporations are staying king either way

The **** I only care for myself

I didn't say care for, I said stand for.

You're Pro-OH, I'm not slamming it, it is what it is.

The work I've done has not been for Caring Points so I'll need some time to assemble a resume if that's what you're asking for.

Is $1200 going to be enough to cover your rent and utilities and food, OH?

Lisnaholic · 03-25-2020, 04:47 PM

Looks like you are really up against it, OH.

I'd say cut OH some slack at the moment; he hasn't been making personal attacks, and although I'm not following these relief bill negotiations, this argument sounds pretty good to me:-

With what I have that would keep me up on my bills for two months and then probably three when (it?) the unemployment goes through

Food rent everything I’ll be about $350 under what I need with no assistance. This time next month.

And any accusation that I only care for myself is just such bull****

I admit I haven’t been up to much lately but I have great lifetime track record all the way back to high school. That is just an outlandish and false attack. Totally undeserved. And I have not and will not personally insult anyone on here

Taking a strong position wanting a ****ing bailout isn’t an attack on others

WWWP · 03-25-2020, 05:05 PM

I wasnt attacking you.
