Thanks to Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer people might want to check their mail boxes for the $1,000 stimulus checks on April 1st (April Fools day) instead of April 6th!
NRSC -
"The Senate canceled recess to work at breakneck speed because people need help now. Pelosi waltzes in after the House has been on a week long vacation and says theyre going to do their own thing and the Senates Monday urgency is arbitrary. Just wild,"

It may have something to do with a Democratic desire to extend unemployment benefits, whereas Republicans want to bail out the hotel industry.
Hotels you say???
You know I find it very ironic that the hotel industry now finds itself in the very same position that they have placed me in many times.. Countless times I have been focked around by hotels with their lies that they are "overbooked" and I have been kicked out of a few in years past too... I have no sympathy for Hotels! NONE! The way they operate is beyond forgivable. Don't get me wrong, I have dealt with two hotel companies that have always been straight shooters, The Hilton and the Marriott, and that is only to say that regardless of check-in time, if I had enough cash for an upgraded room they would find room, and they were never shy about that fact. Such is the law of supply and demand however I am a Hilton Honors Gold Member. So I guess I would like Hotels to still be around when all this blows over.
HOWEVER, there are going to be a lot of people who are going to suffer because part of that bill did send out checks to people who WILL be in serious trouble soon, at no fault of their own. It is going to be a partisan shit show soon and while you know I would like nothing more than to see the hotel industry on it's knees, I don't want to see affected American families on their knees!
I think it was a bad move by the Democrats, a bad move that is once more playing into President Trump's hands. No one can deny that liberal states like Washington, California, New York, and even Michigan closing down the schools and such are what sparked the nationwide lockdown that is upon us today. Was is the right thing to do? Perhaps... There are still a lot of people who say polio was a man made virus, just like the COVID-19, but us regular folks will never really know the truth! The only real truth that most people know is that Democrats have been hell bent on removing a freely elected President from office! First with the Russian hoax, then with a sham impeachment that lead to the forever acquitted President Trump - then in a final act of defiance, perhaps in quardnation with China - we have the COVID-19.
Boy I sure hope it does not come to pass that liberal fingerprints are on this in ANY way... But it sure looks that way.

* Mr.Trumpdt is a multi-hotel owner, & golf-course owner, so naturally he wants to save his own ass, at all costs...Remember he's not collecting his allocated salary for being POTUS...I suppose that's looking pretty good now lol !
* All this bollox is stemming from an "unknown" flu virus...So let me get some things into perspective here, & take a step back & look things over...
1. Nearly 10-years ago, we all got nuked around the world big-time, in a still-to-this-day, ongoing major way, & folks did little to nothing in protest.
2. China is still contracted to continue building its 200 or so Nuke Plants, within the 20 ( now 10 ) year time span.
3. Mr.Trumpdt, Mr.Abe (Japan), & Mr.Johnson (UK) were all elected, & are pro-nuke, having signed pro-nuke industry progress bills yadda yadda.
4. Complete media silence follows, & near complete black-out of all things nuke, at least as far as real on-going issues are concerned with the devastating, & ongoing world-wide contamination.
5. These people, also want you to go to the Olympics in Japan, & send our best athletes there.
6. These same people allow food, beverages, & cars etc etc to flow in from Japan, knowing full-well the depth of contamination...
7. So the United Nations, the World Health Organization, & the International Atomic Energy Agency are all holding hands together, allowing this to continue, & promoting the expansion of nukes...
8. The same folks in "7", are now worried about a flu, & shutting down the world, & the turn-over of monies that generate the worlds economy, by keeping folks at home....
9. We also know that the Rothchild's, who are the biggest "Bankers", are pro-nuke, & fund the above organizations...
My $00:02 says that the nuke crisis is far worse than anyone thought, & this flu thingy will not only cover-up the effects of the nuke contamination world-wide, but therefore protect the nuke industry from blame, of the so many folks that will potentially, & needlessly pass-away...They may also possibly use this lock-down to cancel the Olympics in Japan, since the contamination is so bad, that the world-wide media can't report about it, if they're banned from entering the country...
The promotion of more nukes around the globe, means that us suckers will continue to pay for an industry that needs to continue to generate money, to cover-up its disgraces...
eg. Australia will likely have its populations "Super Annuation Funds" used to build a Nuke Plant. We're also being told that the 14-Billion dollar investment on a submarine fleet that we don't need, has gone pear-shaped, & now nuclear powered subs are the only solution...Since Australia will have nukes, & is generally only populated on the coast-line, we'll have to build a Nuke-waste-dump, & take on the US-of-A's waste, since we're friends & allies, & the US-of-A, can't get rid of its own waste, through political stop-signs generated by concerned citizens.
And since Australia's Uranium generally goes to Russia, & then on to Iran, I'm not sure who the enemy is here...
Confusedt...Can someone help-me-out please ?...I've only had the 1-coffee so far this morning, & I'm not sure that I've got this in full perspective LOL !
NB. Remember that Nukes are now 70+-year old technology, & only heat water, to make steam, to drive a turbine with a generator on the end of it, which is 1800's technology...
Moving forward !!!
Things that make you go Hmmmm....

Rastus, you may well be correct on a great many things however the one most important FACT that you always omit is this -
ELECTRICITY!
We all need it, and no one wants to go without it! The benefits outweigh the risk at this time since people are living longer than they did in the days before electricity... that is not to say that things aren't changing for the worse, I'd suggest looking at age expectancies for people from pre-electric days which is biblical times, and today.
There is no other means of generating electricity in the scale that nukes do, we can only hope that like automobiles - the nuke industry is also making improvements over time that make them safer and displace fewer radioactive waste! Also, figuring out a good use for nuclear waste would go a very long way to cleaning up this shyte you are rightfully worried about being stored all over the world.
Here is something else to knaw on Rastus, what if with all the space exploration and satellites that we have put outside the plant have been why we are seeing our polls shift? Perhaps over the past three decades we have sent so much of our earths mass outside of earth that it is having an effect on how our world spins and it's axis? Perhaps we need to figure out how much mass was sent out into space and mine asteroids to replace that mass to our planet? I know it's getting deep, but we are talking about nuclear physics and you really can't get any deeper than that... might as well throw some rocket science in there too while we're at it! LOL

Fair enough my friend, & very-well said ! I also hope that my speculation is very wrong, but when you look at the signs...
Anyhow, I must insist that you check-out this link ( if it works ), as all will be answered.
We've been lied to for decade upon decades. The world will be a better place soon enough imo, but we as people need to depend on ourselves, & not the gov't, or its elected officials, as their hands are tied imo, as the facts allure to.

Hotels you say???
Fuk hotels, they can't make it, close. I never favor any bailouts. No one bailed out my lobstering business when I had my traps stolen and needed 200 more. Instead I started making traps, all other lobstermen had their stolen too and bought mine. Made $18 an hour easy working in my basement 1997-99
Simple, instead of crying when one door closes look for another open one.

Seems that big hotel chains should be able to easily cover their losses or restructure providing this lockdown does not carry on for too much longer.
Sounds a lot like we may not be getting any stimulus at all since Democrats are now trying to inject the green new deal into the stimulus!
I for one oppose any "Obamaphones" and I especially oppose the $10,000 credit for people with student debt! This is just so unfair to every other American who does not have student debts! I don't have any student debt! So I just lose out on the $10k!? FUCK THAT!
I'd rather there be no stimulus at all then to give into them terms!
And it's just like government to get peoples hopes up anyway so they let down their guard and count on it only to be let down and get nothing. It is just the way I have seen most things go, especially that game they had going during the housing crisis that seen more people lose their homes because the entire stimulus was worthless.

Wise words right here.

And that is exactly what is playing out right now in congress... The markets got theirs, Stimulus #1 and #2 have been passed and signed but for whatever reason they left the biggest for last and I doubt that by the time they get done it will be anything like what they were talking about at the beginning, as they will just shave off more money for us and give it to Government or the big companies who run the Government.

It's been reported that stimulus checks will go out no later than December 31st 2020!
December!?
This shit is going to be over by June! Everyone will be bankrupt and homeless without an address to receive the check, or a checking account to have it deposited into by December! LOL
Perhaps this is what our elected officials had in mind all along?
