There can be only one!

Walk away Winslow, just every once in a while. The orange migraine will be sent away.

Yeah Winslow, that’s how I reacted when I saw this.

‘Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Sunday complained that many people who receive unemployment benefits during the pandemic have been “overpaid.”’

“During an interview with ABC news, Mnuchin said that Republicans are pushing back against the $600 weekly federal unemployment benefit because it is more than many people received from their jobs.”

‘“Unemployment is supposed to be wage replacement,” the Treasury secretary told ABC’s Martha Raddatz. “So it should be tied to some percentage of wages.”’

‘“Do you do think it’s a disincentive to find a job if you have that extra $600?” Raddatz asked.’

‘“There’s no question,” Mnuchin replied. “In certain cases, where we’re paying people more to stay home than to work, that’s created issues in the entire economy.”’

‘Raddatz interrupted by pointing out a Yale study which found that there is no evidence that the $600 weekly payment is a disincentive to return to work.’

‘“I went to Yale,” Mnuchin replied. “There are certain things, I don’t always agree.”’

But “Forgivable Loans” are A-OK!

Since only the posts that I made that disappeared over the weekend were the ones that were ‘sourced’ to avoid plagiarism…

I’ll do it this way.

“This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a Twitter.” Sincere apologies to T.S. Eliot and his poem, The Hollow Men.

Watching MSNBC again I see.

Nah…

Winslow is the liberal here.

He might be viewing Fox ‘Prime Time’ opinion, or OANN, or something about the treasonous “Boogaloo Bois”, or Qanon….

I understand, Winslow. I get that way looking at POV videos from El Caminito del Rey too.
