Can't compare. Alaska is a state, thus, even with universal income, it's economy also depends on the US. Next, it is not that much and varies by year.

Yeah, they don't say that.

Kyle is a far leftist and that is how they think. They feel just giving money to people is the solution. But when there is nothing to buy it is pointless. Two examples, I just went grocery shopping. I wanted chicken breast. There were non on the shelf. All the money in the world would not have given me chicken breast at that store at that point in time. Another example, Zimbabwe, they literally have trillion dollar bills. Many are trillionaires in that nation but they are still poor.

The second Kyle cites Chomsky you know the video is going to be garbage.

The issue of the states asking for money is that many are going to stay shut down and keep getting money while other states open up. Denying them money is to place pressure on them to work hard to handle this situation and open up soon.

@mehdihatami3391 opening up will get the economy going. Their shutdowns make no sense. So they can crowd in the subways but not at a bar? Also, in NY the numbers are inflated.

@mehdihatami3391 the weather is getting warmer and hospitals are now empty. We can take this on. Also, if those places are so bad how about we provide them with temporary beds that other states do not need?
1
@mehdihatami3391 warm weather does help. Also, many hospitals are empty. And again, if some states are in that bad of shape how about instead of giving them money we build up temporary hospitals.
1
@mehdihatami3391 reports are showing that warm weather will alleviate the spread. Also, what journals? Nothing about this virus has been peer reviewed yet.
1
@mehdihatami3391 I agree, however, locking ourselves up is not going to progress us. How can we find out more of the virus if we continue to be locked up? Also, we are on the path on what is worse, the virus or the bad economy?

@mehdihatami3391 S. Korea spied on a lot of people. I did not agree with that. Also, like Japan, their have a culture of better hygiene. It is a tricky situation. At this point I feel precautions are out there where we can reopen a little. Things such as washing hand (we should have been doing that anyway), sanitizing surfaces, etc.

Easy for her to say, she has a job.

Varney is correct on this one. Many states are doing bad policies and violating people's right to not improve at all and thus should not get money. Also, these issues are left up to the and they should be prepared. Essentially, is give them more responsibilities and also forces them to develop a strong plan.
1
Varney isn't wrong. Many on the left are using the virus to grow in power and get more money. Clinton said to Biden that we should not let this situation go to waste and use it as a way to get universal healthcare. This virus is a far leftist's dream. When their ideas fail and are not popular they use the virus as an excuse to give government more power which is scary.

@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 no it doesn't.

Mad Jackson true. With progressives I think of the Family Guy episode of where Quagmire ripped on Brian. He brought up how Brian complains about how there are poor people but yet Brian does nothing where Quagmire is helping at the soup kitchen. As Quagmire said, want to help, grab a ladle. During this time you have "greedy" business owners donating their food and helping out. My "greedy" car insurance company just gave me money. This virus is a leftist's dream as it is killing the private sector, giving government more power and making more people depend on the government. It is sad really.
1
@occamsaturn charities do a lot. But Mad Jackson's comment is on point. Leftists don't want to actually put in any work to improve our nation, they want to create laws forcing others to do it.
1
@kyle9401 open your business back up.
1
@occamsaturn how do you solve those problems? You can't with government action as those problems are complex.
1
@occamsaturn it is an argument. Leftists' arguments are always "give them money" and "government should do more" as if it is that easy.
1
@Ragitsu if you care than take actions. Actions speak louder. Mad Jackson is correct, leftists don't actually do anything.
1
@occamsaturn I do not agree with giving corporations money. The difference here is that if some corporations go under there will be no jobs to go back to as corporations take a long time to open back up. Take airline companies for example. If they are shut down to open back up you have to inspect all the planes, test the, check the coding for best travel options, etc. Also, this situation is different than in past. This economic down turn is not due to some crack in the system but because government forcing a shut down.
1
@kyle9401 yep, follow the law without question. Also, food can be delivered. Why not shut down walmart and have people deliver food?
1
@occamsaturn how about we open the economy back up?
1
Mad Jackson problem with far leftists is that they are not the ones who will be working or making hard decisions. I always give the easy example on tuition free college, how will they handle the NCAA? They say they don't care. Easy to say that when you are not the one making the decisions. As Hickenlooper said, Bernie and his fans want to throw a plan out there and let everyone else pick up the pieces.
1
Mad Jackson I don't know. What is funny is that all their candidates turn against them. Bernie supported Biden, AOC is praising Pelosi, Stacy Abrams is supporting establishment candidates. When are they going to realize government officials they support are not in their best interest?

@cg29legend Over half of the defense spending goes to personal either directly or in programs like education and housing. Your economic plans won't work in the US. A higher min. wage does not mean more money. A min. wage is how much to pay per hour, not per week. If you raise the min. wage and hours are cut and prices are raised, than what? Education is already free. Public libraries exist all across the nation. The onus is on you to become educated. Making college "free" makes a college degree worthless. The value in a college degree stems from the fact that you invest to earn it. Single payer healthcare will lead to lower quality and access.
1
@cg29legend It is around half. Uh, there are plenty of studies saying otherwise about the min. wage. It all depends on the state of the economy and how much you raise it. For example, in the mid 90s the Clinton administration raised the min. wage to $5.15/hr, basically less than a dollar more. Unemployment went down. However, prior to that unemployment was already dropping and the percent of workers earning at or below the min. wage was dropping as well. What does that mean? The market already had a "min. wage" that was set higher than what it was legally. Thus, it did not matter. However, in 2007 it was raised and unemployment went up. But again, it is complicated. Overall, the vast majority of min. wage workers are not poor as their household income is high, and they do not work full time. So raising the min. wage does nothing. Making college free makes the degree worthless. The value of a college degree is that you are showing employers you are willing to invest and find a way to complete a long term goal. If you make college "free" you make it easily accessible to people where employers will no longer value it. What is the value of a "free" thing? Nothing overall. Also, with free college, how will you handle the NCAA? This is an issue I have with far leftists, they have these ideas but put zero thought into them. They don't understand the complexity of the issues. Access will drop in single payer because you are increasing demand without increasing supply. We see that in other nations where they limit how much care one receives. The US leads the world in access to advanced testing and advanced care and also leads the world in survival rates of advanced illnesses. So yes, quality will also drop. As for wait lists, it has been shown in studies that longer wait times do lead to negative outcomes. I have plenty of sources on healthcare if you want. I am going to enjoy a movie for now but tomorrow I can really break down all these arguments and show how you are mistaken. But for now, with free college how do you handle the NCAA?

Bernie is a part of the elite. What has he actually done to deal with this virus?

@samkinison2375 we are actually experiencing a form of communist now. Many are forced out of work except for "essential" jobs. And while others suffer rich members of the media and politicians are doing well. Barrack Obama goes golfing while, in the same week, Michelle is telling people to stay home. The mayor of Chicago just saw her hair stylist. What is sad is that people are accepting it.

Freedom of speech. The onus is on you to find the truth.

He is not wrong. We are a spoil nation with our wealth. Here you have a good portion of people having no problem staying home as they don't have to work.
