- Caveat emptor? -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 07:20 4
  - There's part of me that thinks the same. A casino or a sports book doesn't ask if you know what you're doing. The current stock market seems so far - JD Dec 16, 08:45 1
    - With gambling, at least you're only ever out what you wager. - Reagen Dec 16, 09:07

- What was the liability shield about? -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 08:26 3
  - preventing people from suing their employers when forced to work in conditions resulting in people getting sick -- nm - decline Dec 16, 08:27 2
    - So no liability shield is a good thing, it sounds like. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 08:30 1
      - Yes, Dems fought hard to keep it out. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 08:40
- No state aid is insane. State and local governments are getting killed by this pandemic. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 07:43 1
  - Yup -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 07:55
- $600 whole dollars? Canadians be like...WTF? -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 07:23
- thx booty-chay. -- nm - Diva🎅🏾 Dec 16, 07:11
- If they means-test the checks based on 2019 data (like the last round) they're gonna miss a whole bunch of people who really need that money now -- nm - decline Dec 16, 07:06 2
  - They should really send it out to everyone to avoid this issue. Yes, some rich people will get the checks, but it balances out I think - ty97 Dec 16, 07:13 1
    - You could always tax it on the back end for people over a certain threshold. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 07:53
- So that would be less than the offer from August, yes? -- nm - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 16, 06:55 1

WTF? I just got an email that CBS is no longer going to be on Hulu. No football?!? -- nm - Volnelk Dec 16, 06:38 4
- Delightful how confused the response on ST are. I assume this is the Sinclair carriage dispute re: local stations being on Hulu +Live? - Mop Dec 16, 08:30
- Isn't Hulu folding into D+ or something? -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 16, 07:35 2
