Now all the idiots that voted republican will reap the benefits again and the rethug congress will lie and take credit for it while their stupid voters have no idea that they voted against it.
The covid relief bill..
Could someone with a DU-Speak decoder ring translate that
word-side-salad? Between the recent precipitous plummet in new cases and the twin effects of an increasing population of people who have recovered and the steadily increasing number of those who have received the
Trump vaccines (to date, Biden being POTUS has had zero or negative effect; see chart below), this current
Porkulus bill would be unnecessary, if
Shutdown Tyrants like Goobernor Noisome would just let their states reopen!
FWIW, last I heard, the "stimulus checks" to individuals are restricted to people earning under $30K per year. That would be none of the family members in my household. I suspect that most people earning under $30K per year would rather have their jobs back, i.e. their states reopened.

The Doses-per-day trend continued with no positive slope break after Biden was inaugurated; then on February 13th the trend went negative.
This site is pretty cool, too,
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations . It appears to be updated regularly, and one can select or de-select countries so as to compare their progress. The five countries doing best? Israel, the UAE, the UK, the US, and Chile. Western Continental European countries started late and their trend is miserable, because EU bureaucracy and EU leaders lack of foresight and planning. A country doing notably worse than the EU? Canada. Ah, the wonders of centralized national planning and government-run
health-don't-care!
