Less Cow Bell

AITOOW thinks Goomba-nor Cuomo sounds like Christopher Walken? Love his work on nursing homes. Funny how he doesn't mind the Feds going into debt saving his state, but, he can't go into (further) debt forgoing taxes on out of state volunteers.

Mnomanot

AITOOW thinks Mnuuchin will take the fall (and rightfully so) for the missteps in the stimulus bill. There will be endless stories of graft. Mark Cuban was on the radio outlining all the mistakes in the small business loan portion. How easy it is to basically remain closed and still not have to repay the loan. How hard it is for small companies to get the money. How banks are playing favorites with their big customers. Etc. Plus people will freak out when they learn how many billions the banks (the enemy) are reaping from this *while also playing favorites with entities that don't need the money as badly). Can we say "Wall St versus Main St" again? Real basic miscues. Calls into question his familiarity with basic business practices and his sensitivity. Angers that demo. The companies who received the loans will also be an issue. The list of companies that received benefits that weren't meant to will be a huge talking point. How could this not have been anticipated? Basic common sense. The difficulty getting people stimulus checks will also be a sticking point. The money issues never seem to be an issue going the other way. Waste and graft will probably be an issue and call into question his lack of foresight and knowledge of the milieu. The tea party crowd has probably already decided to stay home. Trump's largesse and this latest clumsy stab at saving his economy probably keeps them home on election day. And they want more. This looks like deja vu. It didn't work for Bush/McCain and I doubt it will work for Trump. Step one will be blame Mnuchin for bad advice/policy. Doesn't really make Trump look like a great businessman either. It is, in actuality, a fair criticism. I'm surprised and disappointed and skeptical about their competency in this area and I felt confident in them and their bona fides before I saw their work.

One Way Street

AITOOW wonders why the IRS seems to be able to take from your bank account whenever they please, but, you have to go to a website and give them that information to get your stimulus check? Isn't that info on your Schedule B? And that's just an example of the one way nature of the relationship betwixt the government and ourselves. We must take the Census. They can't get the unemployment checks to people....

#hetoo

AITOOW feels that women in positions of power (ie legislators, teachers, bureaucrats, activists, agitators, celebrities) have created a hostile "life" environment for men? I would like a movement to arise that fights this toxic femininity.

Biden Weinstein 2020

AITOOW would like to see Biden Weinstein 2020 or Biden Epstein 2020 hats and stickers (and facemasks)? And I could swear he had a rep for hound dogging after his wife died. Not sure why other politicians are acting like he was a boy scout. My family was invited to a dinner while on Xmas vacation in Hawaii in the Eighties and he was flirting with my stepmom. Not sure if he tried to finger her though. Maybe he was just trying to give Tara Reade an abortion?

You've Been Served

AITOOW wonders how they calculate "under served"? I hear how communities are under served. But they never mention what needs to occur to make them "served". What is the metric? Another worthless sobriquet.

Pa-NYC

AITOOW thinks we all suffer from most of the corporate (mostly television ) media being based in NYC? Since they are in the hot zone, they are experiencing the pandemic in larger relation than the rest of us. This leads them to have their usual skewed view of the world. A very Apple-centric view. Their usual lack of context is amplified. Plus their fast paced, pampered lives have been vastly effected. They must be freaking out and dragging us with them. Now is the best time for a transition away from those sources.

I also wonder if that Florida hating arriviste Seth Myers wishes he didn't have such disdain for the aforementioned? At least the Northern part.
