    There will never be peace. Not now, not in the past, not in the future.
    That is not the nature of most of the human soul.

    Never happen. NEVER.

    Americans want their cheap ####, and they want it now.

    That's how Dollar General and the other dollar stores are busy destroying small town USA's family businesses, one town at a time. People go there instead of their neighbors grocery or variety store, because its TEN CENTS CHEAPER at the DOLLAR STORE!

    In bigger places, EVERYONE goes to WALMART because they NEED their CHEAP ####! And they can get it all there in one 2 hour binge. Every Saturday.

    Remember when almost everything Walmart sold was made in America? Walmart discovered they could substitute some stuff made in China, make an extra nickel or dime on every one of those items they sold, AND NO ONE NOTICED OR CARED, because they were getting their cheap #### fix.

    The other stores finally caught on, and piled in. American consumers quit caring as long as the cheap #### keeps showing up. One reason you see houses with 3 garages and 3 cars sitting in the driveway. Their garages are stuffed with cheap #### they bought and rarely use.

    God Bless the American Consumer!

    There has already been talk of reducing mile rate pay.

    What your company will do is reduce your mileage pay so your annual income is $25,000 less, then kick in the bonus paid for by the government to make you whole.

    You will get triple screwed:

    1. inflation (your company get to be the beneficiary of the printing press)

    2. the bonus will not be subject to per diem tax reductions

    3. Next year you get to work at the new lower cent/mile rate without the bonus.

    Also you may get locked into a single employer for the remainder of the year. There will be strings attached and if you desire to work elsewhere you may forfeit that $25k.

    This is a flex by the dems. The reason they put such a high number (25k) is because they know it will never pass. The dems will say they tried to pass this but the greedy republicans don’t care about workers. When trump proposed the insultingly low 1200 per person ( compared to what corporations got) , the dems held it up and almost stopped it just to spite trump.. it made them look bad. This is them doing it back to trump to make him look bad.. because it will never pass, but the dems “tried” to help the workers and the mean republicans stopped it. If this bill ever makes it to the floor it will also include a few billion to the banks, a few hundred million to npr and planned parenthood, reparations to all people of color just cuz, green new deal that bans fossil fuels, so no more trucks, and whoever opposes this deal will be the bad guy.

    How will we pay for it? Money printer goes Burrrrrrr

    Wish we could tell China that our debt to them is null and void, they ain’t getting ####. But we can’t. They make all our medicine, all our... everything?? Uh oh we fukt fam. China holds all the bargaining power, got us by the ballz. The final nail in the US coffin was.. made in China. At least we got it for cheap. That nail would’ve cost 5x more if made in the USA

    Paying this out to your company and expecting them to pass it to the driver? Hahahahahahahahaha

    Bailout from a few days ago was the biggest transfer of wealth in human history and the 1200 you “might” get in a few months is a spit in your face.

    We’re not. Plain and simple.

    If you do get $25K, buy silver or gold with it before inflation starts destroying the value of all these newly printed dollars.
