Unempl. claims are way up - like a factor of 10x. I feel bad but I don't have any sympathy for the airlines. They have gouged us at every turn.

Let's now forget the Obama aid package was constantly changed to address Rep. concerns and then I don't believe it got any Rep. votes.
agreed all around, nice to see both sides do something quickly to help.

do airlines make a ton of money?

i honestly don’t k ow anyone who benefitted from the obama stimulus. he did other things that helped, the stimulus to target shovel ready projects, was kind of a flop. even obama
later joked that the project weren’t as shovel ready as he thought. he was able to chuckle as he said this, because he knew no one would
criticize him for wasting almost a trillion.
