People Pray while Millionaires Play While "regular" people are at home, many worrying about the future, there are many millionaires. billionaires, and other owners who are "living it up" off the work of the workers, both in the past, the present, and the future This has led to hash tags such as #EatTheRich , and global division between those who have the wealth and power, and the people At this point, in June 2020, the frustration is spilling out in violence in many places around the world, people vs the state, life vs. control, as each of us is forced to sell our freedom, for a little more life; but the violence was directed not at the power centers, but instead, split between the Left and the Right, the Red and the Blue, the "Conservative" and the "Liberal", which lead to this admission: I was a racist, too Growing up in Bear... - Aaron W.

Just a reminder: the check is NOT in the mail, so plan accordingly The $1200 (or whatever) might take up to 5(!) months to arrive (ridiculous, hopefully not that long), the unemployment might take weeks to be processed (the state governments are overwhelmed by the number of applications and the slow federal response), and the small business loans, which are start to start tonight, #1 are not even set up yet, #2 the banks don't want to do (so they won't), and #3 is only enough for about 30% of what is being requested -- so if it is first-come, first-served, then more likely than not, you're out of luck (update, only a tiny percent have actually happened as of 2020/4/7).

To sign up, a brand new state web page has been set up so that ANYONE can volunteer, but in this case, ESPECIALLY anyone with any medical experience OR experience in hospitals ( Go to Michigan.gov / fightcovid19 ) 2. That the the State of Michigan lottery should be temporarily suspended for two reason...
