I don't understand reading the situation as "Nancy Pelosi wants people to get less money" instead of "Americans aren't getting any stimulus right now and the election hasn't unseated GOP power in the senate either".

there's no reason to believe China's numbers are less reliable than the numbers from any other country

I mean the reasons the numbers are more believable in America isn't because of some moral superiority but rather because the reporting is decentralized among states, counties, etc.

I do think there ought to be a stimulus for people who paid of some $X amount within a certain Y time period, because the people who ate lots of sweet potatoes and paid their loans aggressively also could/should/ought-in-a-just-world have been able to make at least some of those payments toward a car/house/nursery/business/stock investment/entrepreneurial venture if the economy were less rigged.

To totally just spitball numbers, I'd imagine something like "if you paid back more than $95,000 between 199X and 2015, you will receive a [$5,000 to $15,000, depending on certain metrics blah blah] stimulus check." Not a full rebate, but definitely something that acknowledges the monetary output that could have gone to more relevant economy-building things.

I think cutting stimulus checks to people *is* outside of the ability of just the executive branch.

The problem with forgiving all student debt is that the reasons it got so bad in the first place all still exist and a new student debt crisis will surface before long

The goal of this is to stimulate the economy in the short term as well as protect people during COVID from excess costs when people are at risk of being evicted.

Also "this won't solve the student debt crisis forever" is just an excuse to just do nothing instead.

Ravens had an uncontrolled COVID spread. Broncos had it contained to just a small group. The NFL sent out a memo earlier this year that decisions weren't going to be made based on positional groups, i.e. if you have four people out it doesn't matter if it's 4 QBs or 4 random players: if it's contained, you're playing.

Broncos QBs lied about their exposure which is the whole reason why this thing changed so late in the week.

There's this weird idea that this postponement is going to help the Ravens, even though anyone who tested positive can't play for 10 days, so they're still absolutely fucked when it comes to the Steelers game. And they're going to be fucked for more games because of the actual illness. So the idea that the Broncos are "punished more" and should have let it spread so that they could get a postponement is idiotic.

It can be DoJ top down, or state by state bans.

"" Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday signed police reform legislation that includes a ban on no-knock warrants, making the state the third in the country to outlaw no-knock, forcible-entry raids frequently used by law enforcement to serve narcotics search warrants.

The move comes as the March shooting death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville, Kentucky, police has prompted state and local governments across the nation to take steps to rein in the controversial police tactic.

"These reforms also reduce militarization of police equipment, standardize law enforcement training requirements and strengthens the process to de-certify officers, when needed," Northam said.

"I want to sincerely thank our legislators and all advocates who have worked so hard to reform our criminal justice laws so we can keep Virginia safer and rebuild trust between our law enforcement and the communities that they serve."

Oregon and Florida have also banned no-knock warrants. ""

I don't know, but that's the point since I don't live in bumble**** Indiana, but they have local problems and don't relate to what problems in my area are, so I shouldn't get a bigger say just because I live in a more populated area.

And yeah, less popular issues is a widespread thing, not an exclusive to rural areas thing, that's just bad communication on my part.

You don't get a bigger say under the popular vote. You get an equal say.

I agree that its overrepresented as it is, but there needs to be something to help actually make sure that less popular issues are still dealt with.

What are these less popular issues that are related to living in rural areas, not just things that are more/less popular in rural areas.

What that be? :0

In card games with draft (where you open a pack, choose one card around, pass it, etc. for a few packs (3 in MTG)) sometimes people will do "rare redrafts", where the person who wins gets to choose from all the rares opened and so on down to the person who got last.

Hypothetically this is justified as "This way people try to win, instead of picking the $100 card over one that's better for their deck", but in practice it means people who open good draft rares (which are usually bad in constructed formats) get an easier win AND get the money cards.
