Hydrogen sulfide is used for climate cooling and the symptoms of hydrogen sulfide are similar to postcovid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮😢My father died after the vaccination
What a joke and the media is still trying to scare the seniors and others into testing and isolating all the time so they can continue billing for lab fees and test kits. Such a huge profit these corrupt agencies are still pulling in. 😤😡
Seems just as fishy as my situation (nobody responded to technical online issues) so when I finally!!!!!! got a hold of someone I was told they couldn't back date my payments to March or the day I actually lost work because of the covid shutdown. Never made any sense. Also, I live in NY and they did change the law to include people who were not getting full time hours but still showed up for work everyday. (After initial shutdown my employer reopened as an essential business) So when they did finally get ahold of me to straighten everything out it was before they changed the law and I did not receive the $600.00 extra that some were getting every week. So yeah, money was stolen. Lots of working Americans got robbed on technicalities while others were given money almost with no questions asked.
Never forget that MSNBC is owned and funded by oligarchs. The host begins by talking about the huge total amount that was wasted by the COVID relief program. But then it turns out that the total dollar amount is large because the base amount is huge. Only ten percent was wasted. The host and Lardner pretend that this is terrible, but 90% efficiency is not terrible, it is amazingly good. 90% efficiency in anything is unheard-of. This segment takes good news and perversely turns it upside-down to promote the meme of waste and fraud in welfare—a right-wing meme.
The Trump administration refused any oversight. This could have happened in any administration but there were so many complaints about low wage tip dependent workers getting expanded unemployment that was truly needed while rich people, politicians, etc defrauded the government. Also small minority owned businesses were passed over in favor with larger businesses that were well connected not really in need of help. It seems like here in Florida every week some politician is getting busted every week.
Ethics? What is that? The Business College that I went to doesn't even have that on the curriculum anymore. It used to be one of the very first classes a student took. Kind of like a Doctor not being schooled in "Bedside Manner." Ethics" are becoming a thing of the past.
I thing we all new that t g e most of the fund was going to croc instead of the people that needed they still talk about stimulus money if they really want to help they could give the American people that money from other first second and third stimulus that was left over no the are going to steal it like they do every thing else while the people need it suffer
Bet..? The majority of the missing money…the thieves have personal ties to Trump. I knew that that this report was coming. Anyone surprised, considering our last Grifter and Chief? Look who was in charge. Manuchin, and Kushner. The same 2 that personally took 3 billion from the Saudis ..after the DT Regime ended. . Shady dudes….
The nature of most of those who stole the money will probably never be revealed. But an educated guess with a little knowledge of Mnuchin's unethical antics immediately insinuates to most of the money going to people who support grifters, liars, corrupt criminals to the point that they put them in Congress & the White House. It's more proof of a "Party" no longer worthy of "participation" in American politics. The GOP is an organization of PERVERTS: They have PERVERTED, poisoned & polluted the political process by polarizing & politicizing everything they can to try & divide. They've diminished the legitimacy, integrity & credibility of Congress, the Presidency, and the SCOTUS & just about every Federal Agency & Department imaginable – including the Secret Service, FBI, DHS, Inspectors General & the Pentagon, the IRS. More important: The complicity & culpability of the GOP – they are American democracy's cancer, Trump only a dangerous tumor. The GOP brand has been damaged beyond redemption & rightfully so. They are responsible for the downward spiral of civility, ethics & morality in American politics over the past 60 years. They are the primary source of disinformation, distortions, distractions, subversion, obstruction, sabotage, and selective "law" that only benefits their party in spite of what's best & desired by the majority of Americans. Decent "Conservatives" need to find a different Party to join that can legitimately participate in American democracy. This means they must be willing to lose gracefully & accept the peaceful transfer of power IN ADDITION to demonstrating a connection to truth, logic, facts & reality – MIA from the GOP which is now a DTO worthy of expulsion via an attempted coup resulting in insurrection – both acts of sedition – and treason. The reluctance or inability of "Conservatives" to acknowledge facts, truth & reality in a timely manner is what makes them a Clear & Present Danger to the safety, security, health & public welfare of America – and human existence on Planet Earth. The majority of the GOP has clearly indicated that they are endorsing cheaters (& cheating) to win elections. And "Party over Country" as their philosophy. And that rot extends from their corrupt greedy, hypocritic "leadership" at the top to their brainwashed, blindly allegiant, ignorant, gullible, duped bottom. THE BARREL IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE.
Three words, Trump Republicans and republicans.. If we really want to find those who ripped us off… Look at the republican party's associates and the churches….. Evangelical Pastors.. I bet they are the top thieves.
Another thing that didn't help was corporations like ATT took pandemic relief money when they are worth billion dollars or State Senators like Marjorie Taylor Green and small business like mine got denied due to no more available funds. Make these members of Congress pay theirs back
As a US taxpayer, I'm much more interested in how the money was misspent by those running the Covid-19 aid programs. Bet it's way more than the individual fraudsters.
I mean, let's be real. We knew a pandemic was coming and we knew we needed to put in place systems to get money to people. The issue is that the government was reactionary and did it wrong. This is because the GOP are constantly defunding efforts to actually build a government that functions efficiency and proactively.
🎶🎶🎶🎶Money money money money, moooooo-ney🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶 We have a country now, where everyone wants fame and fortune, and to be an influencer, and to drive fancy cars, throw parties with celebs, and to have the finest of everything, and hopefully get a yacht and sail the mediterranean. Oh, and you have to be good looing also. Now add $4.2Trillion into the fray, as a giveaway…….holy cow… ya think the sharks are not going to circle the chum ??! smh And I felt fortunate to get my 2 stimulus checks.
The issue wasn't the ease of getting cash. Small businesses couldn't even access the funds because there was so much paperwork.
Still, perhaps we should have just given people money directly instead of funneling it through businesses which, not surprisingly, take any chance they get to make money no matter who gets hurt.

Ad. Bc. // Op.atc. // western union..computermsn..sms.. crimes against amounts musd..//..a.m.p.m
We are really going to trust Joe Biden to investigate himself for stealing $280 billion.
America is Evil.
Trump Kushner family and friends took too
What a joke and the media is still trying to scare the seniors and others into testing and isolating all the time so they can continue billing for lab fees and test kits. Such a huge profit these corrupt agencies are still pulling in. 😤😡
Just like Black Loves Matter money
Government is the solution.
All republicans fault, its crazy how we allow them to even run for office
Is anyone really surprised? It’s a repeat of the Obama years. Taxpayer money with no oversight and no recovery.

Printing money fuels inflation.

“Vanished” into someone’s bank account. 🤑
Humans gonna human 🙄
Have a look at all of the GOP party and you will find the billions.
Manuchin, trump, trumps family, Jim Jordan and co.
And, whom got that money and are they being investigated??!!!
Wow! You mean it was stolen? Yeah that was sarcasm.
Wanna know the biggest reason our deficit is so high… blame republicans. They are the ones who REFUSED any and ALL oversight and accountability!!!
But let's not talk about the 5 million Hunter and the 5 million Joe got from Ukraine and Romania
Gee I wonder how much of it the Biden's got..
The very rich did most of the grift. Bet on it.
Start at the top and work down. Yes, trump first…
Start with the members of congress.
No more relief for those who don't believe in the vaccine 😮
We need the next president to find all that. Whoever that is?
Fun fact, America is just a broken ponzi scheme where the only way to succeed is to scam your way to the top and try not to get caught.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds redirected money to her donors. Why haven't they prosecuted her yet?

Did MGT pay back her hundreds of thousands of covid relief ???🤔🤔
