I know that not everyone can evacuate. Not everyone has transportation, the money, a place to go, etc. And I truly understand that. But I don't understand why people who absolutely have the ability and resources to evacuate don't. A friend of a friend is literally a retired millionaire. They could have gone wherever they wanted to go, but nope, chose to stay. Now they're stuck in their flooded house waiting to be rescued.

They're not dumbasses, they're sociopaths. Seriously. They get off on watching people suffer and doing nothing about it.

Indian mogul now 2nd richest person in the world. Bumping Bezos to 3rd. Gestures wildly at the slums of India…”ahem”!!! Are you blind? Do you not see where you can help? For all his smarts, he’s still another dumbass on this planet.

I guess I thought it was obvious they received them for their "businesses." They were also forgiven. Hundreds of millions of dollars. That was my point. Hope your day gets better. Jesus.

You couldn't get a PPP loan unless you have employees. PAYROLL protection program. I know it was all a load of shit, but it wasn't FOR politicians. Not all politicians have employees, the whole shitshow was designed for business owners. Not politicians. And I never said they were barred, that was fucking YOU. Ah, fuck it. Nobody cares and the whole damn place is going to hell in a handbasket. Go ahead and be self-righteous about it, if it makes you feel better. Jesus.

A simple Google search lists republicans and democrats who benefited from PPP loans. They were not barred from receiving them. Especially members of congress.

I get your point and I agree but FYI- politicians did not receive all that PPP loan forgiveness, it was business owners. (I mean, sure politicians- if they also own businesses) And it was a SHAMELESS money grab, I know. I had to help these fuckers get the loans forgiven for my job. So fucking gross. I just wanted to tell you that in case you are, like, out irl having this conversation. I want you to have your facts straight so nobody can refute you. Because I agree with you.

If you're not ok with student loan forgiveness but thinks it's fine for politicians to receive millions of dollars in PPP "loans," I'm going to question your critical thinking skills.

My h is so mad about the student loan thing. "I shouldn't have to pay for other people's decisions" like sir, our taxes pay for politicians' decisions every damn day. I'd much rather help my neighbor out of poverty than support big corps, the 1%, and their pedo politicians.

So, Texas governor Greg Abbott is loading immigrants on buses and taking them to sanctuary cities like NYC for them to take care of. Does that mean we can round up the 30,000 kids in foster care in Texas and drop them off at the Governor's mansion for him to take care of?
