What needs to be fixed? They're registered offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Why on earth would we pay them? They can ask Bermuda or Liberia for a bailout.
NEW: Cruise industry not confident it could borrow from any of the existing loan programs bc of offshore registration. Sr. admin official says bipartisan Senate grp working to ensure they can access one of the facilities--or else will seek a legislative fix in the next package.

This is the moment I warned of - we have sacrificed so much already, but it feels like nothing is working. That's because it takes weeks to see results. We must stay committed and trust that the social distancing we are enduring now will save thousands of lives.
Any interventions we make today will not show up in our data for 1-2 weeks. The time it takes to show symptoms after being infected is about 5 days, and then it takes a few more days to get diagnosed and counted. For a while it will feel like nothing is working but it takes time.

Congress needs remote voting for contingencies like coronavirus. But regular voters need mail voting for the same reason. It's pretty worrying that there isn't much discussion of the latter, at least on the federal level.
I’m ready to support remote voting. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. It is time to bring the Senate into the 21st century. rollcall.com/2020/03/22/remo…

What’s the fucking point of allowing billionaires to accrue all this money if we have to pay them every time their companies lose value? That’s what the BILLIONS we let you keep are for, dipshits.

The irony of hospital CEOs complaining about $0.50 masks being sold for $7 after they built an entire career selling $0.50 bags of saline for $500. It’s almost like hyper-inflating life-saving costs for profit should be ILLEGAL....🧐

Every day you clowns are going on with your regular business instead of social distancing you are extending the isolation for all of us.

Hey, Americans! This is your periodic reminder that you have the worst healthcare in the developed world. Today, my orthopaedist prescribed generic Celebrex for my bilateral hip arthritis. It's an inexpensive, well-tolerated antiinflammatory. 1/

One of the reasons industries are so short on cash right now is that they have spent billions buying back their own stocks instead of investing in their workers and saving for a rainy day. That needs to be addressed NOW.

I am going back on the air Monday, March 30th. All my staff will work from home, I will shoot at home using an iPhone, and my guests will Skype. This will not be pretty, but feel free to laugh at our attempt. Stay safe.

The airlines want a bailout. Now, they're huge employers hit by a black swan, so their collapse has consequences. But as per @superwuster, they had years of ionospheric post-merger profits -- and like the grasshopper, they devoured it instead of planning: nytimes.com/2020/03/16/opini…

Do you know of a tech company that’s asking people who could work from home to come to the office? Reply to this thread, so we can track these irresponsible organizations, and remember their names even after this is over.
