Moved to part time due to Coronavirus

This sucks I make decent money and enjoy juicy checks. I work in organ donation and this has hit us hard as most people believe it or not are elderly donors. The bones and tendons are used to make all kinds of shit. Well our company lost a bunch of money since the announcement of this dumb virus so they have made cuts. Luckily I was just moved to 3 days a week and not let go. Hopefully this only lasts a month or so.
I heard trump say they are going to help out people affected by this shit but idk how.

Probably by lowering taxes for the wealthy and bailing out wall street with taxpayer money again. it'll trickle down

This is hurting everyone. Even the stockmarket is down right now. They're closing schools down and everything else. It's going to be a long year.

A little common sense goes a long way. Unfortunately the same goes for ignorance.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[
-Dwight D. Eisenhower 1953
Funny how we find the money for countless pointless wars and corporate bailouts but can't provide decent healthcare or education unlike most other "first world countries" at this point.

I don’t think there is any doubt we are now in a recession. Expect job loses to be steep and quick. Probably gonna lose 1-2 million jobs in the next six months.

It was already coming, and this outbreak will no doubt make it considerably worse.
Seems like the current administration has been trying to keep actual testing down so we can have "lower infected numbers" compared to other countries to try and offset the economic damage. But that shit is going to backfire when we get hit the hardest and have the weakest response.
Hell now republicans are literally trying to sneak anti abortion legislation into the Corona emergency response bill: Republicans Tried to Sneak Abortion Restrictions into the Coronavirus Bill
They are also refusing to bass bills that would help the response to the epidemic, almost like they want it to get worse. https://washingtonpress.com/2020/03/12/mitch-mcconnell-trashes-democratic-coronavirus-relief-bill-for-being-barely-related-to-crisis/
Really is shocking how shameless they are and have been for quite some time.

Yes we were already at the end of the business cycle and all it would take it some minor trigger to end the boom - and this isn’t a minor trigger. Recessions never really creep up on you. Almost always the economy turns on a dime and it always looks like times have never been better right before it turns to shit.

I wonder if my job is safe. There are definitely people that can be laid off, and when the weather is bad there are plenty of people who get sent home for the day.. but I'm never one of them. My crew isn't sent home unless everyone is. We keep the roads drivable. Even if daily commuters and stuff stop using the roads, the roads are still in use for transport of goods and such.
Really hope that translates to I'm still necessary in a pandemic.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think it’s pretty safe. People who work outside are probably not at that great a risk as long as you are not sharing tools.

Like the $1.7 trillion in tax cuts that predominately benefited millionaires, billionaires, and corporations? Or were you referencing something else?
