Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer On Coronavirus Precautions | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
Restaurant workers will ONLY get 55% of their normal pay in Michigan. THAT IS GOING TO HURT A LOT OF PEOPLE!
@Tj Bektashi
I’m not talking about waiters, but thanks for finding time to care enough to comment. Lol
@Say What? Im a bartender my wages are different but it was more of me just looking at my reality rn and your welcome and stay safe
Wow. At least they get something. That’s a start. More should be done however.
That’s what Whitmer wants. Poor dependent voters turn to government for welfare. Self sufficient voters do not need the Democrat Party.
@Uncle Fjester so you are turning down that stimulus check eh? Out of merit.
Social distancing…I’ve been training for this my whole life.
LMAOAAOAO SAME
Quarantine,stop blaming the Feds . Do your job!
Trainer RED same
Red are you seeing more into this virus bull shyt than the heads are letting on ? I Am .. I learn goverment is a MATRIX BELIEVE NOTHING OF WHAT YOU SEE AND TAKE WHAT YOU HEAR WITH A GRAIN OF SALT .
I’ve been doing it before it was popular!!!
They will bail out industry. The rest will be screwed. We all know how America works.
You do realise they have to bail out industry because it helps every day Americans have a job when this is all said and done…if they didn’t business big and small would fail and majority of Americans would be out of work. Please tell you u understand BASIC economics.
@Houston Astros Trash Can Big companies can have a bad quarter. The working poor are most affected. The feds can help at low cost by having a payroll tax holiday and Social Security tax holiday for a month.
@CaliforniaCheez sure they could….doesn’t change the fact thar if businesses go under the middle and lower class will be the most affected.
But Obammy saved GM and killed Bin Laden.
They already kicked the banks in the teeth. The $1.5T bank “bail out” was *not* a bailout.
They told the banks they will pawn-broker their bonds to feed them cash they need to survive … for a fee.
If they can’t buy the bonds back in three months …hehe you lose em. They ours now.
I live in Michigan. Please pray for me.
I live with a bingo junkie and they closed the bingo at the VFW in town.
If you’ve got internet then disconnect it cause your partner will lose all your money to these online scammers. I wish you luck. Try alcohol that might help. It does by me sometimes..
I hear ya. I know a bingo junkie myself, who was still planning to go despite of, until she was mandated to stay home. Unsurprisingly crazy for bingo.
I’ll be praying for you 😁
I work in Michigan the hotel industry prayers for everyone and Shout out to hospital workers 🙏
She waited till after the polls closed to inform the people of Michigan there were positive cases of covid-19 in the state. She put votes ahead of voters and waited till after 10pm to make the announcement… she should resign.
Yes she did f her
I can’t wait to vote her out
We should all team up and give this evil governor a reason to quit.
I am so greatful to my employer for paying us 100% for our 2 weeks shutdown.
It’s probably going to win up extending past the 30th though
She ducked that 100% pay question with no remorse
Ikr!!!
Seems like everyone is tbh. They failed to reach resolution in the Senate. Idk why they dont talk about letting companies just pay everyone 75%-80% of their missed check/hrs and then use that as a tax deduction or something??
@CHENGIS because an overwhelming majority of businesses can’t pay their employees if they are closed.
I noticed that too! She ducks a lot. Her town halls and press briefings are a joke!
If she actually cared about the public health, she wouldn’t only be shutting down the industries without big lobby money protecting them. What a joke.
This woman is a psychopath! She is trying to ban the use of medications that have been proven to treat Coronavirus! You do NOT need to be from Michigan to call. Here is the phone number of Governor Gretchen Whitmer 517-373-3400. Leave a message in every option. She will not hear the first option because that just goes to a medical hotline. So the other option’s are more important. Everyone needs to tell her what they think about her threatening Dr’s & pharmacists for trying to save human lives. I am going to ask her why she wants the people of Michigan dead. Here is a video that details what Whitmer did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBNLiwt04bw
Here is an article that details Gretchen’s treachery. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2020/03/26/opinion-michigans-doctors-fight-coronavirus-and-governors-office/2922272001/
So was 26 weeks a 100% because she totally dodged that question…?
The answer is no.
Seeing as how it’s going back and forth between dems and repubs I think she doesn’t know either
Im going to all the small business in my city to make sure there still making money.
SHUT DOWN THE STATE!!!
CRASH THE ECONOMY! YAY!
Pat C – If you’re worried about the economy you should have thought about that ahead of time. Stay safe.
I mean look at her you can totally tell!
I thought she was pregnant when she took office but she still hasn’t given birth
Donuts do that…….
I just wanna go see my friend an they talking bout shut the state down. Wtf 🤦🏾♂️
DON’T LET THE CURE BE BIGGER THAN THE PROBLEM!
THANKS FOR TANKING THE ECONOMY
I’d Stay Home With Gretchen, She Is Phucking HOT.
This is the result of the people of Michigan going “full moron” and walking into voting booths……….
We need deliverance in MI from Gret. She is holding our Dr’s and remedies hostage threatening Doctors that if they treat with Hydroxychloroquine they could lose their license. In 2014, then, Senator Whitmer voted in FAVOR of the Right to Try Bill, now law. She knows her threats are illegal but she is using her position as a power tool. Here is the LAW “Sec. 5. A licensing board or disciplinary subcommittee shall not revoke, fail to renew, suspend, or take any action
against a health care provider’s license issued under article 15 or 17 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.16101
to 333.18838 and 333.20101 to 333.22260, based solely on the health care provider’s recommendations to an eligible
patient regarding access to or treatment with an investigational drug, biological product, or device. An entity responsible
for medicare certification shall not take action against a health care provider’s medicare certification based solely on the
health care provider’s recommendation that a patient have access to an investigational drug, biological product, or
device”
Yesterday afternoon/today 21 people in MI died. What if one were given Hydroxychloroquine and lived? 10? 21? This is beyond incompetent, this seems purposeful.
Gret is now lying stating alleging that President Trump is telling vendors not to deliver medical supplies but when asked what vendor’s she refuses to say.
On Mar. 19, 2020 our legislature placed before her an emergency bill of $125million to help in the pandemic virus. A lot of these monies would go to health care. As of yesterday Mar. 28, 2020 (9 days later) the Bill has still NOT been signed!!!!! In Lansing, MI a sweet young ER nurse Alyson is in ICU do to the virus which tells the story that our hero, health care professionals need more protective gear that Gov. Gret not signed. Instead, she has abandoned her State so she could run on news shows like yours CNN and the like doing her little Ta-Da, tumbling, circus acts smiling and talking a good lie as people in MI are dying. This is at the very least a derelict of duty but is more closer to criminal negligence. She needs to be stepped down!
Is Gret going to take one for the ‘State she loves’ and give up her income for the next 2 years and ask all State workers to give up at least 15% of income to help MI. economy? She needs to be stepped down!
More action and less talk governor! You were elected to serve and take action, not to complain. And don’t think you’re going to be giving any of that medical equipment away to Canada or anywhere else!
