yeah I know, but yours looked all weird with all the janky html jive talk. you just have to post the Twitter link directly and erBB does the restoi! I just posted that mr big shot Twitter guy.
He is. The health department is expecting him to do their job for him and police city property.It seems he’s pissed his outdoor dining got shut down if I heard right.
I think he’s in the right.
It’s easy for a government clerk who collects a guaranteed check every few weeks like you, and those in the video, to throw stones at someone who has working at a loss for almost a year now.He seems much smarter and more reasonable here. maybe he should have called a lawyer and not thrown a hissy fit and blocked the street with his truck.
Do you think you would've kept your cool after eating sh!t for 9 months?this guy is a fool
I'm sure antagonizing the health department by ignorantly mocking their
boilerplate will yield the results he seeks
You and several others here REALLY struggle with binary thinking. Someone can be both frustrated with local governments and the federal government at the same time. Shocker, I know.How can you sit and blame the Heath dept and local governments while ignoring the fact that the federa response has been nearly non-existent?
Agreed, there needs to be a viable alternative and path to help people like this to the other side. However that doesn't help this guy in the short term.Maybe this guy wouldn’t be so desperate to have to do things like block the health inspector with his small dick machine if he had proper relief?
Copy Pasta Plagiarizer FTW!Tony Bowens , 31, spent nine days in a hospital in March fighting for his life against the deadly coronavirus. In many ways, he’s just grateful this Christmas to be home with his wife and two kids, even though very little is the same. As his family struggles to pay rent, he can’t believe Congress and Trump haven’t reached an agreement on aid.
“It feels like everybody is playing politics with people’s lives,” said Bowens, who lives in Chicago. “That $600 check wasn’t much, but at least it would have been disbursed just in time.”
Bowens has ongoing complications from covid: Headaches, temperatures that spike for a day, crippling leg pains and trouble breathing. He lost his IT job in March and has not been able to work since. He received $65 a week in unemployment through the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program that Congress created this year to assist independent contractors and gig workers like him, but it will end the day after Christmas unless a relief bill gets enacted.
His family is barely getting by on his wife’s job as a state government worker in Illinois. They are behind on rent and the electric bill, and they worry about more layoffs for state workers.
Bowens said extending unemployment is “one of the most important things” in the relief package because a $600 one-time check won’t last long, “but unemployment would go for 11 weeks. I was going to be able to get that again.”
Look at you, empathetic little man.It’s easy for a government clerk who collects a guaranteed check every few weeks like you, and those in the video, to throw stones at someone who has working at a loss for almost a year now.
Nothing the federal government did or didn't do can justify what has been done to small businesses by state and local governments. The Constitution doesn't get thrown in the garbage because of a bad flu season.......at least it didn't used to.How can you sit and blame the Heath dept and local governments while ignoring the fact that the federa response has been nearly non-existent? Maybe this guy wouldn’t be so desperate to have to do things like block the health inspector with his small dick machine if he had proper relief?
I might not have kept my cool, but I would not have thrown a social media tantrumDo you think you would've kept your cool after eating sh!t for 9 months?
The health department cited him for not doing their job. It doesn't get anymore government clerkish than that.
Fair point. I also agree that it was a dickmove to block the guys car. Desperation will mess with your head, and when nobody listens to you, I can't say that I wouldn't do the same thing.I might not have kept my cool, but I would not have thrown a social media tantrum
It's good to know that you poses so much empathy for restauranteur strangers.Fair point. I also agree that it was a dickmove to block the guys car. Desperation will mess with your head, and when nobody listens to you, I can't say that I wouldn't do the same thing.
Business owners like that, who take a loss paying their employees, are the true heroes of the pandemic.It's good to know that you poses so much empathy for restauranteur strangers.
Though it's a shame that you will soon die because empathy is cancer.
