Oh yeah, that $1200 is going to be taxed next year too
Worse than that.
Not taxed, it’s float on next year’s return.
If when you file next year you are owed $1,200 you get nothing. They already gave it to you this year.
If you owe them then that $1,200 is taxable income.
that is a tough one. tough.
i have to think about that.
if i were governor, i'd do exactly what he is doing.
as a private citizen though i have no say over whether you return to work and honestly cannot with a clear conscience advocate for it.
i suspect there will be a plan made known in CA within 2-3 weeks that will establish a return to work process that is logical, and consistent with best practices in managing the virus.
If i were a governor of a state in the United States of America I would never in my life be so arrogant and power mad as to assume that I had the authority or anything even close to a justification for what is being done to the citizens of this (once and hopefully again soon) great nation.
True leadership here would have been to encourage social distancing and strongly encouraging the most vulnerable to self isolate while allowing businesses and citizens to chose there own path forward.
The easiest path to take is the one we are on now. There was never going to be and will never be any consequences, personally or politically, to Gavin Newsome. Meanwhile the consequences to His subjects will prove to be devastating.
If history looks back on this with any honestly it will be known as the biggest overreaction ever. And that would be the kindest possible assessment because that removes any possible malice as a motivating factor.
This situation has made it obvious who the producers are and aren't. That's for sure.
We can never know.
Unless you have some sort of alternate quantum threaded universe we could check on.
For certain, the there are going to be many papers published exploring the 'what ifs' of this.
Sort of like "How much further ahead could humanity be if:
1 there were no Civil War
2 the Library of Alexandria hasn't been destroyed
3 God didn't knock down of the Tower of Babel
4 sun of Romulus didn't go nova
5 etc

I think this (lives destroyed due to the economy being nearly shut down) is another one of those things we can't know, unless you have some sort of alternate quantum threaded universe we could check on. But maybe I am taking the word 'destroyed' too literally. I don't see any coming back from being destroyed while 'set back' or 'wrecked' provides a degree of repair/restoration.

Well according to this I am kidding so who knows...
Don’t Worry. The $1,200 Stimulus Payment Won’t Cut Into Your Tax Refund Next April
People are panicking about how their stimulus payments might affect their tax returns. Here's what you need to know.

it will be bad. really bad. this will be the worst economic downturn that anyone posting on here has ever experienced.
It’s pretty well established how economic hardship affects crime rates, suicides, divorces, education levels, life expectancies, etc.
In other words, we can know.
And for each additional day we remain under these restrictions the worse it will be.
This is utter madness.
You are forecasting/projecting, which is a reasonable thing to do.
We forecast the weather all the time based on what we 'know'.
However, this is not the same as knowing.

Politicians don't get that. Most have never had a real job or been a business owner.
We know that 17,000,000 people filed for unemployment in the last three weeks. We know that this is a very very bad thing. We know that if 1 million people did it would be bad, very bad. 17 million people (at least) lost their job.
We know this.
There is coming back from these numbers.
Not going to be walk in the park, but humanity has come back from worse.
Call me an optimist if you must.

Just an inconvenience bro (Fauci's exact words). It's just money.
Hospitals are laying off people in massive numbers.
Think about that for a moment.
We shut everything down so as to not overwhelm hospitals and now hospitals are so underwhelmed they are laying off people and going bankrupt.
