We are the richest country in the world. And we happen to be racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic and miserable. But we’re rich. Let’s use it!

And the game changes in a month when the temperature goes to 100 degrees in Los Angeles. And the community activist bureaucrat is not going to have a say. Wait, this is Los Angeles which is in California. Maybe she will.

 

Money, Money, Money…Money!

From the DailyWire:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other House Democrats unveiled a shocking $3 trillion relief bill, nicknamed the “HEROES Act” — the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act — Tuesday, designed to serve as a fourth coronavirus relief package, The Hill reports.

•  $375 billion bailout for states and cities — even those whose debt problems predate the novel coronavirus and affiliated lockdowns.
• It also allocates $25 billion to the United States Postal Service.
•  the HEROES Act splashes out $1.5 billion on “broadband hotspots,”
• $175 billion to reimburse public health and social services organizations” for health care related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the coronavirus, as well as to support testing and contact tracing to effectively monitor and suppress COVID-19,”
• $3.6 billion to states for “contingency planning, preparation, and resilience of elections for Federal office” — likely code for a national vote-by-mail program.
• It adds $100 billion for healthcare providers, on top of the billions issued as part of the third coronavirus relief package, the CARES Act.
• provides $75 billion to “states, territories, and tribes to address the ongoing needs of homeowners struggling to afford their housing due directly or indirectly to the impacts of the pandemic by providing direct assistance with mortgage payments, property taxes, property insurance, utilities, and other housing related costs.”
• the House is giving $5 million to itself to buy “House imaged laptops due to COVID-19. In addition, this funding will support an increase in inventory of satellite phone, Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspots, and updated satellite bandwidth technologies to meet escalating demand of District Offices during COVID-19,”
•  it continues the $1,200 monthly payments to individual taxpayers for at least three additional months
• Pelosi’s bill gives an estimated $2.5 million to biofuel producers and $250 million to biodiesel.
• Buried in the law are a few odd provisions that don’t require earmarks, including the ordered release of thousands of Federal prisoners and a suspension of cash bail requirements for those being held pending trial and marijuana subsidies (weed is mentioned 68 times in the bill while workers are only mention 20 times!).
• cancels student loan debt for around 16 million borrowers and reduces payments for 9 million more
•  the bill provides around $90 billion to states for K-12 education and $10 billion to higher education, including public universities, in a fund they can access directly.
• The bill also includes a suspension of the SALT caps, which prohibited high-income taxpayers from deducting large amounts of their state and local taxes from their Federal income tax. These were included in the Trump tax cuts.

 

The bill is meant to be voted on in the House this Friday. It should barely pass. But it is dead when it hits the Senate.

What is wrong with these people?

Yeah, This is Going to Work

According to the LATimes:

Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

I had to do the math. That means this is going to be going on all the way through August.

“We are being guided by science and data that will safely move us forward along the road to recovery in a measured way—one that allows us to ensure that effective distancing and infection control measures are in place,” Ferrer said, adding that the county is counting on the public’s compliance with the orders to be able to relax restrictions.

“Our hope is that by using the data, we’d be able to slowly lift restrictions over the next three months.”

“I am eager to reopen more of L.A. County as soon as it’s safe to do so, in collaboration with our health experts, community leaders, businesses and residents, with best practices in place to ensure our overall health and well-being. These decisions will be guided by the latest science and data collected,” she said in a statement.”I’m confident that the more our communities continue to comply, the sooner we can resume normalcy.”

“We’re not moving past COVID-19, we’re learning to live with it — and we will keep taking measured steps toward a new, safer reality in the days and weeks ahead,” he said in a statement.

Gavin Newsom allowed this crap. I don’t blame him. This is how government is suppose to work. He said that counties should make the decisions. But, this is nuts.

So who is this broad that is making this decision.

Well, she’s the director of public health for the county of Los Angeles. That makes he a bureaucrat. Which means she was appointed, not voted for by the public.

Her education:

Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Brandeis University

Master of Arts in Public Health from Boston University

Master of Arts in Education from the University of Massachusetts, Boston

Bachelor of Arts in Community Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

WTF?! Who is this person to determine policy? She’s a bureaucrat with no science degree or experience.

Here’s what going to happen:

• The economy of Los Angeles will crash and the states economy is already crashing. This ain’t going to happen because Newsom will stop it. It won’t be right away, but not three months.
• Small and medium businesses are going to open and practice the governmental standards.
• People are not going to receive those $3000 checks in a month and they are going to want to work.
• Domestic violence, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and crime are all going to go straight through the roof, overloading law enforcement (who can’t keep people in jail anyway because of the no-bail policy). Citizens will become victims. But the state doesn’t care.
• Those with money will leave Los Angeles and, probably, the state. There go the tax payers.
• It’ll be 95 degrees in Los Angeles by July. People are going to say, “F-it,” and go to the beach.

 

This is what is going to happen. This thing will not get that far.
