@steveg209 Interesting take. Do you honestly believe that red states are all white and don't have all that you listed? I'd suggest looking at real demographics of each state. Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Rhode Island, and many more are far more homogeneous than the majority of southern states. You know those red states you hate. 1/3 of vegetables can't feed the country. Farming is 1% of California's revenue, it's 25% of mine. So who do you think it affects more and looks like more when the government has to pay to fill their trade agreements on food? We grow 50% of the country's rice supply and 20% of Japan's. That's a staple crop which means farmers get paid to grow it by the government because it's not a good money making crop, but the country needs it. We also produce almost all the country's boilers. I know you don't know what that is, so look it up. We also produce a large amount of tomatoes for the market of several neighboring states as well as quite a bit of soybeans. That's all comes out of a small population of 3 million. I'm also going to point out that you assuming only one race are farmers is extremely racist. I'll be sure next harvest to tell the two local black farmers I buy all my produce from they don't exist. Edit: It's also pretty dang uneducated to think we don't have all those electronic devices since you're talking to us on the internet. They make these wonderful things now called solar panels and there are satellites too. I'm not sure why you're putting down living much more green and leaving a small carbon footprint. I thought that was supposed to be a good thing.

@mdee391 Most aren't saying no relief bill at all. It just shouldn't have money going to foreign countries, pet projects, or have things tacked onto that has nothing to do with the virus. That's our money and it should be spent on us.

That depends on where you live. Where I live has a low cost of living and you can definitely live if you make the poverty level and slightly above. Especially since you get benefits if you're at or below poverty. You won't be living in luxury, but you can afford the necessities. Which is why everything shouldn't be decided on a federal level because my cost of living is not what it is in NY and California isn't the same as Idaho.

I thought he was retiring after this term.

@matthewmallaber7213 I'm a lucky one. My governor, even though I don't like him, handled all this well. Nobody is fined if they don't follow the mandates and we've been pretty open since April. He's refused to do a lot of things because it's against our state constitution and I appreciate that. Our unemployment in many areas is almost back to pre virus. He resisted the power grab. I'm also glad to see states exercising their power a bit more. At least the ones that have done so responsibly.

@kingjah6420 What difference does that make? Does that make his voice irrelevant? If so then people who don't pay any taxes should get less of a voice than him. I guess we might as well go to a monarchy since only the extremely wealthy will have the right to speak on issues.
