State and local governments have spent less than a quarter of the relief funds earmarked to help them fight the coronavirus, a recently released report from the Treasury Department indicates. The surprising revelation complicates states' claims that they need a hundred-billion-dollar federal bailout to ensure their solvency in the coming months.
The funds are earmarked exclusively for use on public health issues—a subject of contention, as many states see the impending fiscal meltdown instigated by the current recession as an even bigger challenge than the coronavirus itself.

Biblical would be everyone at the Ebenezer Church for John Lewis funeral catching Covid and dying.....Pelosi, Bush, Clinton, Obama, etc....all there.
Once this funeral is behind us, and the Covid-19 Stimulus package is finished, INDICTMENTS can begin.
A Twitter spokeswoman has defended the company’s decision to block and restrict tweets from President Trump but not those of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei which call for genocide of the Israeli people.
The reason? Because the Iranian dictator’s tweets pass as “commentary on political issues of the day” while Trump’s could “inspire harm,” Twitter claims.

How are the states covering the costs of disposing of all those dead bodies? Millions of dead bodies, well hundreds of thousands of them, well dozens anyway must be expensive to dispose of.

One thing always noticeable in photos of Jeff Bezos. His left eye appears to be strongly dominant.
Non-symmetry in a person's appearance always bothers me a little, like something in personality or brain function is not balanced.
Probably means nothing.

All the money they've yet to use should be handed out to the people. Its our money anyway. Just like Trumps idea of if schools don't open the money should go to the families to provide choice of school, like private schools etc.
I have 2 kids that did the distance learning thing earlier this year. It does not work. Kids get distracted with games, internet, music, chatting to their friends etc. Some of the teachers were streaming cartoons for them to watch. I was pissed. Don't use my tax money to sit there and stream cartoons for my kids without my permission -- I don't even like them wasting time in school watching movies unless its pertinent to their work. School should be reading, writing, and arithmetic. Its a wonder why kids these days aren't as smart as they should be.
High schools have jewelry, pottery, all of these stupid elective classes and fail to teach kids anything useful. K-12 should be basic life learning skills. What happened to teaching kids how to do their taxes and write checks? What happened to home economics? What happened to valuing our children as the future of this country? Its gone. The education system has wiped it out.
I'm seriously considering the "unschooling" option out there. Kids can freely learn at their own pace, and whatever they want to learn. Learn by helping, learn by doing, hands-on learning. The education curriculum is a joke. 2+2=4 turns into 1*2+3*1+4/2-1=4. I hate it, and I feel bad for kids these days. They can't even be kids these days. Add in all the "sex ed" they want to start teaching kids as young as kindergarteners -- the public education system can kiss my ass.
