The last I heard was that people could still travel to and from China, just not on any US-based airline.

Apparently some people are flying to China because it's considered a 'safe' country now.

You need to understand it, then.

Because that's what we're dealing with right now.

The school district here is delivering them to neighborhoods. The kids don't even have to be in the school nearest their home, or in public school at all, and it's under-19s, so even some young adults are covered.

You know what's cray? The White House already HAD tennis courts.

She's spending money and time on a tennis PAVILION.

Since she was trying it right when the Indian Wells 2020 tournament was being cancelled and the players were behaving like professionals, my guess is that she was trying to take away some of their attention, given that some of the biggest players in the world are people of color and in addition to being a pouting brat of a Marie Antoinette, she's an inveterate racist.

Or stupid. The logic is that if you restrict SNAP to people who are employed, they're more likely to be employed.

The reality is, all the decent jobs for someone who doesn't have a degree went to Third World countries decades ago courtesy of Bill Clinton, you can't live on minimum wage, and retraining programs have been basically the restaurants' hiring agents since the 70s.

Those jobs started moving years before Bill Clinton took office. Manufacturing jobs peaked in 1979 nationally. A little earlier or later in some states. And NAFTA was not the big job sucking sound Bernie makes it out to be. US exports to Mexico increased from $42 billion in 1993 to over $260 billion in 2018. Most of that in manufactured goods. Automation did a lot of damage, with factories that used to employ three shifts of 5,000 workers now turning out more product with one shift of 4,000. Another thing that hurt Rust Belt workers was corporations moving to states like Alabama and South Carolina, non in n states with lower pay.

The value of manufactured goods peaked under Bush 43. I don't think it ever came back to that level, but it was close until recently. There are numerous reasons for fewer manufacturing jobs, but Bill Clinton and NAFTA are not two of them. And because of some jobs like textiles and electronics in very low wage regions like Asia, we can buy inexpensive clothes, and except for the constantly changing smart phones, cheap electronic items like televisions. Which allows Americans to buy more stuff they really do not need.
