Keep trying, faggot.

That was the first recorded one we have actual records for.

It's largely known to have come in with about 14,000 Chinese railroad workers.

The article simplified where it came from.

But keep trying.

At least we recorded it for history and didn't try to cover it up like some kind of weird bat eating mutant pollution goblin or some camel jockeying airplane exploding dune coon.

Ok I am an outsider in all of this politics stuff. Trying to hear people's points, thru all the anger.

But basically, if they are giving out the money now, on my husband's income (and many, many, many like us) we would get a fraction of the 1200. Then, being that he works in a specialized field, in infrastructure-related tasks (thats all i am going to say) and this drags on for weeks and weeks, what good is that fraction of 1200 going to do us when and if he loses his job?

If there is a massive economic slowdown, nobody is going to be building or planning much of anything. Then another sector of the workforce stands to lose jobs (building, planning, construction, etc.)

Then Uncle Sam says "well we did what we could" .... And that 800 bucks isn't going to do anything to pay the mortgage.

At best it is a lifeline to working class families, that is about a month's salary for semi-skilled or unskilled labor. But do they even qualify?

Then what?

When will the next life preserver be tossed out?

That is what is so insane. They didn't balk because the amount wasn't enough, they balked because they want the tards with gender studies degrees and illegal aliens to be taken care of first and foremost. The Democrats used to at least pretend to care for the average working people.

I don't know and there is no anger here. I wouldn't get anything no matter what because I still have a job and I am over the income limit on the last version I saw.
My point is there are lots of people who are just trying to figure out how they will get past next week or this month. My state's unemployment website is basically crashed. They went from 3000 applications a week to 70,000. The physical offices are being closed tomorrow. Unemployment takes time to get and has bureaucracy to get through. And if you where working under the table you can't even get it.

There was lots of buzz about the $1200 checks. Now it aint coming. Democrats again cut off their nose to spite their face.

Funny you reach the dumbest shit and expect everyone to believe you when your child raping weirdo gives you permission to lie to people you don't like and you slavishly follow the cross dressing schizophrenics babblings.

But hey, congrats on finding one of the few articles about where it may have shown up that support your "MURRICA EVIL" <blows up jet liner with children aboard> "MERICA BAD!" <shoots down airliner from own airport> "GREAT SATAN EBIL!" <executes women for showing an ankle>

Don't you have some cousin to marry and beat?

It was the first documented/reported case. Doesn't mean the virus actually originated from Kansas.

Historians have debated on the virus' actual location of origin, with no clear answers. China, Great Britain, and the US are all speculated.

The pandemic in of itself lacks a lot of information in general (especially answers as to how or why it spread so rapidly), unlike the Chinese Coronavirus.

https://www.history.com/news/why-was-it-called-the-spanish-flu

And guess what? If historians figure it out and declare that yes, Kansas actually was the origin of the virus, then I have zero compunctions with re-naming it the Kansas Flu.

same people who raved about Trump being a Russian puppet and that Russia was controlling the US are now spouting chinese propaganda, pretty ironic.

Russia is a direct competitor to China.

The US is a direct competitor to China.

Doesn't surprise me at all that the people China has bought off are trying to nail Trump and Putin.

lets be honest, they don't care if trump promises people 5 dollars or 50000 dollars, he could offer up everything they want and they would still vote no simply because they want to be the ones to do it. they can't allow trump to take the hero role, they can't let him win so they have to be the ones putting the bill forward and taking credit for saving america.
