Should the government keep stockpiles of essential materials, especially medical equipment?  Absolutely.  

The government also needs to keep people employed that can cut through the bull#### of manufacturers and their claims of expiration dates and “use by” warnings.  Think N95 masks.  The only thing wrong with old ones is the elastic has rotted.  Half the women in this country that sew are sewing  on new elastic bands for them.

Bam!  Problem solved.

This entire country needs to rethink how things are done and how to get by.

Now, back to the Infrastructure bill.  That was one of Trump’s campaign platforms and now as he says with zero interest rates it’s time.  I’m no tin-foil-hatter but some dominoes are falling into place.

I never said we shouldnt have more equipment and be well prepared but even with enough to cover every single human in North America you will not save them all. People die. And whether it's Trump or someone else that stockpile will be pirated for some BS disaster in another country and not get replenished.

Reminds me of the wheel tax in my county we got in 1975 to build a school. Then last year they asked for 60 million to build a new school. When asked where all that money was from the wheel tax 45 years ago they said "well that was a long time ago blah blah blah" and now here we are. Or it goes the other way and we have an excess of katrina fema trailers you can't give away.

Point is you can tag whatever headline on it you want to get the money but we will be right back in this spot next pandemic and the money will be gone. Just like what Cuomo supposedly done when given a choice in 2015

I wonder what’s going to be tacked onto the new $2T infrastructure bill announced yesterday.

No doubt National infrastructure is in serious need of repair but the government is going into a full blown spending frenzy.

The version I heard was ran under the guise that we need never to be caught like this again. So we should apparently keep 1 of everything on hand for each member of the population. 

With each passing day I get the feeling the government thinks it's our new helicopter mom

Has anyone else noticed a decline in the liberal lunacy outrage lately or is it just me?  

Stay alert fellas.  

There does appear to be a lull but it cant last long. Seems I read something about remote voting ? Is that something we have to look forward to ?

If I was in that position maybe, but I’m not so GM can suck it.  There’s not a corporation in this country that can’t tighten their belt a bit...top down.  They’ll probably get a big fat government check anyway to keep them in business in the NEXT stimulus bill if it’s not already in this one.

Oh I agree. I'm not for the package signed off on today but many seems to think it will help. I thought the breakdown Erik posted showed a good chunk going to the auto mfg industry but I could be wrong.

He did it again today for GM to cough up the ventilators they agreed to.  According to Trump GM wants “top dollar”.  I don’t know man, too much info to process.

Wouldn't you if its the only thing you're gonna sell in the next little bit ? We've heard about 15k toilet seats get ready for $12,500 ventilators . I think that's what they asked for.

Yeah, it's interesting how all of this might present differently in a rural area.  I know Lascassas is close to Murfreesboro - but may be just far enough that it doesn't get the attention bigger stores might get.

Just about to say the further out of town you get the better chance of getting essentials are. However limits apply to everything right now. Paper products, meats, sanitizers and cleaning products, and breads. Otherwise shelves are looking less bare than in weeks past and crowds are low and distancing intact

Background checks screeched to a halt for 2 ffls here in my area last week. After a little digging they said it was related to the shutdown in Nashville, mayor orders, etc. Whatever it was must have only been temporary. My last renewal took almost a month and that was with nothing going on.

If CNN has to explain what 6 feet for social distancing is in this manner, we've got far bigger issues than Trump, the dems, the economy, etc.

In case you can't figure out what 6 feet is, well just imagine moose antlers.
