I wonder if with the bailouts promised to the

cruise, hotel, airlines etc. is the help going to the employees who lose employment for months or more or the CEO's and stockholders pockets. I'm a school bus driver who is hoping they don't close the schools. Maybe I can get unemployment benefits.

But I believe that the bill going through the House right now includes extended unemployment benefits.

classified as Part Time or Seasonal without Benefits. Doubt if there is State that offers Part Time or Seasonal workers any Unemployment Benefits.

And you just know,any Bailout money is going towards Hospitality Industries . Which will include the Trump Hotel and Golf Resorts. 5 Billion?

Watch JP Morgan/Chase for any direction on this.

will include part time and seasonal workers. We shall see.

If the House version does, then we can be assured that Moscow Mitch will take that out. UGH!

And you are right about $$$ going to Trump's hotels. I wouldn't be surprised if he chose to exempt the UK from his travel ban because he has resorts there.

knowing how the Senate works,ain't going to happen. Moscow Mitch will make sure that provision is pulled.

Any and all of the Bailout will be Hospitality focused. Every inch of that space is leveraged to high hell and back and ripe for complete collapse. In the last half hour there are reports of Hotels in NYC on the verge of Bankruptcy.

And this Bailout has to have Trumps signature which will require a bribe of several billion to save his POS of a Empire.

has been negotiating with the House on the bill and he pulled his support this morning at 7 am. Apparently, the Great Deal Maker in Chief wants to tack on his payroll tax cut and a bail out for the oil and gas industry. He believes that he now has "leverage"! Gee, its a situation where people with either live or die and you want leverage? SMDH

another Captain Obvious moment.

Trump was elected on a Fluke in or Election System,and once he knew he was elected,and because he knows he had zero skill set to govern,so he just said,screw it,I am going to make it all about me and leave with tons of money and the Rubes wont have a clue.

His first priority is to bail out his Mar-A-Shit Hole Members first and along the way,he will take a few Billion for his failing Empire.

Under the disguise of eliminating bureaucracy, they'll have the company will apply for the money and be trusted to disperse it to their employees affected by this. The problem is the employees will never see that money.
