Because they were showed to have lied. First GM said they would produce 40,000 ventilators then changed it to 6,000. And sounds like they changed the pricing as well.
All of this should have happened long before now and we could have been in front of it all, but you know who "Asleep at the wheel" said he knew better than anyone, fake news from press Blame it on the Dems he said, and don't worry it'll just disappear. and wouldn't acknowledge the Virus but more concerned about himself. About GM...All projects while in thought before production, do not see some things until production begins and then things change because of seeing things that were not seen before production. Being a General Contractor too many times i have lost my rear end because of not prior seeing every single little detail of the job....So could empathize with that of GM. However all too true of what you say my2.

Bet the Trump team has not thought far enough ahead to make sure that that GM has enough parts to make the respirators - like plastic tubing and stuff like that. Cheers!
Poor people have no choice but to bend over and take the f***ing. All our taxes paid in and the middle class and rich reap the benefits. I've never seen such a strong case for inequality in my life! HOW will poor individuals/families with lower levels jobs (or are now unemployed due to the virus) survive? Or are we supposed to...
If I'm reading what this bill is offering correctly, the poorer folks will get two $1200 payments - one in April and one in May. There is also $500 additional per child. I have never been in the position of not earning enough to pay for my needs, but I know there are a lot of people who don't. In some cases, people spend a lot of money they don't have on items they don't really need. If you earn a low salary, I'm pretty sure you don't need the latest model iPhone, flat screen TV, premier cable channels, Air Jordans for your kid, etc. I'm not saying it's easy, but there are ways to decrease your spending. Unemployment has been increased in many cases and extended another 39 week, I believe. I don't know what skills you have or where you live, but Amazon, Walmart, CVS and a host of other big companies are hiring bigtime. Put pride aside and take a job for a little less money than you're used to making to keep your family together and when the good times roll around, you can get another, better job.
I've never lived above my means. In fact, I've lived below them. Hell, I buy new clothes around every 7 years, they practically have to rip up the butt before I throw 'em away.
Anyway, there is so much in this bill that I don't understand, and from one day to the next the stories seem to change about what's actually in it, and a lot of it has NOTHING to do with stimulating ANYTHING!
I agree and I guess we won't know exactly how the bill shakes out until it actually starts to be put into action. I'm sure there's plenty of pork in it for both sides, but unfortunately, that's the way things work in DC.
I wasn't suggesting that YOU live above your means, but a lot of folks do and a lot of folks buy things they can really do without rather than more important stuff.
As Spunky said and unemployed will get their regular unemployment plus $600 a week. That may start next week. So it reg ue pays $200 a week that person will get $800 a week.
