Congress failed. This is not a difficult task for the idiots we have on the hill. I dare say, democracy has failed, but I will not go down that rabbit hole. As the nation handles the coronavirus outbreak, thousands of companies have been destroyed, especially bars and restaurants. Initially, I understand why there was a home stay order, now there are raw numbers that show that these units are not the main source of spread. In New York, one of the states most affected by the virus, new data show that bars and restaurants are just that 1.4 percent COVID spread. Also, schools are not sources of so-called “super spread”. Open the fucking schools and resume mass inside.
Businesses have been in need of help for months. Families need assistance. Unfortunately, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats had other plans. You see, they knew that the COVID aid packages helped Trump. They wanted him to leave, so they acknowledged that they had negotiated past negotiations to improve the chances of Joe Biden winning the election. And now, after months of economic disruptions and bills stacking as much as Everest, they will give struggling families $ 600. My eyes can’t roll hard enough.
Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports, a media company that liberals hate for all obvious and idiotic reasons, has decided to do more than Congress has done in a few months to help Americans save their dream. His discussions on social networks about how politicians are trying to kill our right to earn a living are materials to watch. I think even the most ardent Trump hater would agree that if Americans were given the opportunity to get COVID or see their businesses destroyed because of a virus that has a recovery rate of over 90 %, I think you know that most, if not everyone, would choose first. However, Barstool has created an aid fund that is likely to raise nearly $ 10 million, helping companies have a few weeks of oxygen, which is more than Congress is doing right now (via Fox Business):
Dave Portnoy, founder of media company Barstool Sports, has raised $ 6.3 million for 18 small businesses since Saturday morning.
Portnoy last week launched a fundraising effort with the 30-day nonprofit fund for small businesses, affected by COVID-19, called “The Barstool Fund”, and contributed $ 500,000 of its own money to the effort.
“It was definitely humiliating and a little embarrassing,” Kerry Counard, the owner of Wisconsin’s Abbey Bar, which Portnoy chose as one of the top six restaurants to receive funding, told Fox Business. He expressed empathy for “thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of small businesses” who are still struggling against the blockade.

Outstanding work. And the Stoolies are a loyal and dedicated bunch who will mobilize for good causes like this. In fact, everyone is like that here; we are the most charitable nation on earth when it comes to giving. It just shows you that this axiom will remain constant forever: non-governmental entities are doing more to help the poor, the affected, and they generally need better than the government could ever do. Look, I’m not the most religious person, but I won’t deny that religious charities have done more to help the poor inside the city than Pelosi and her group of Democratic Party gangsters. Good on El Prez for launching this effort.
