I had friends who are extremely wealthy who are trying to find loop holes to get these EI benefits.. Bit*ch pleaseeeee.. you're complaining about not tax free, not interest free on mortgage deferral on your 5 investment properties..... F U....


BTW Nando's chicken is offering free chicken to front line workers...
It is interesting,isn't it?
The federal reserve is openly printing unlimited currency now.
Surely with unlimited currency they can buy more beds. More medical supplies. More testing equipment.
Our government is handing out money for businesses and citizens to manage.
But what about the crux? Where is the money for healthcare? It's the entire reason why this disease is such a problem in the first place. It should be at the front of any spending bill dealing with this.
They have not employed a pathway to dealing with this. Just a band aid.

A robust healthcare system with widespread testing could have us on track toward managing this disease and getting back to producing.
Throwing money toward every other direction and neglecting the area that should matter most seems irresponsible. It's certainly not sustainable.
You can not "stimulate" an economy that has no product.
