Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan calls for stimulus checks, unemployment support and more WWW.CNBC.COM President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday unveiled his stimulus plan to support households and businesses through the Covid-19 pandemic. I hope Larry Summers keels over and dies when he hears about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 We’ve never overheated the economy and we certainly aren’t at risk of doing so with the politics of 2021. TBH, 10 trillion probably is not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Say goodbye to small businesses" "Happy meals gonna cost $15" "OMG think of the gas prices going up!" "The cost of everything is going to go up!" "I've been saying it for the last 40 years: Here comes communism!" 59 minutes ago, Uaarkson said: How are small business owners supposed to exploit labor at $15/hr!? According to the math some people use, twice the increase in wages means products these companies sell have to cost 3+ times more than they do now. Ya know, to offset those labor costs. And assume the higher wages means people won't spend more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for people that use Windows 3.0 and higher? Or does it also apply to Macintosh Classic users? Would be crazy if Xerox Alto users were included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
