But that is understandable you cant write a letter for every 40 responsibility for how to know how to tell us how to do that because its a. Waste. Demonstrations in Denver Colorado saw protesters both for and against the ongoing lockdown which led to arguments in the crowd counter protesters included medical workers who stopped traffic in the streets one nurse was quoted as saying the protest felt like a slap in the face to medical workers protesters opted to keep their distance from one another in arizona where car circled the Capitol Building in phoenix to form a gridlock their criticism was aimed at the states republican governor with signs that said let businesses and consumers decide whats essential not politicians hundreds of protesters took part in demonstrations across the state of nevada and many were seen Holding Signs in support of President Trump residents accuse their democratic governor of fueling the current unemployment epidemic in the state.

While many around the country are protesting to get back to business as usual today one business actually is r. T. Its fair project is joining us now with more on boeing employees heading back to work area i mean how is this even possible well middle were actually talking 27000 employees going back to work in Washington State which is actually the very 1st state to see the outbreak of cope at 19 now this is the very 1st business on a large scale to get back to work but its not going to be business as usual now during the weeks long shutdown boeing did go through and did a deep cleaning at their facility near seattle but in light of the outbreak things arent going to be as usual now boy will have employees come in and a staggered shift times theres going to be marks on the floor for that 6 foot social distancing workers are going to have to wear face masks and there will also be wellness checks every shift where youll see voluntary temperature screenings now Washington State is still under a stay at home order but boeings Assembly Operations are considered essential business making them exempt now monday workers for the 7377477677 extension 77 planes theyre going to be back at work with most of all of those 27000 employees returning to work on wednesday wow. But now boeing has had a lot going on obviously. In particular with those max jets and those 2 fatal crashes but everybody still remembers fresh in our minds and the planes are still grounded its been over a year how could boeing bring back these employees when all these planes are grounded and no one is traveling so how does that make any sense adding that to. Boeing customers who actually canceled their orders as well were talking canceling 150. 00 jets alone in march and just today Company Shares fell more than 3 percent after the China Development Bank Financial Leasing Company they canceled their purchase of 29. 00 boeing 737. 00 max jets still though boeing did have an order to make 31. 00 jets but those are for military aircraft and actually one is a freighter for 5 x. But then just in the past day you had a big order come in from germany with the countrys defense minister confirming their decision of ordering 30 f. A. 18 Super Hornets and 15 growlers bell ok what about this coronavirus stimulus bill you had many on both sides of the aisle getting a degree at boeing that they roughly got what 25000000000. 00 or so despite their massive failures especially with those max jets i mean theyre getting bailed out right but that bell of 25000000000 though there are some strict conditions on that one namely that the money can only be used to continue paying their nearly 161000 employees all the way to september they cant have any job cuts or layoffs now when the bill was signed even president he recognized boeings failures but said it was important to keep them afloat listen here. We have a great plan for the airlines were going to keep the early show you know its never been a good news is but its a very vital business for the country we cant live in and they have been devoting its you know so much potential you talk about potential can anything have more potential than that. You know a major industry for the United States now manila boeing c. E. O. Says that as far as reopening and there are new Safety Measures in place the company is in uncharted territory no pun intended and it could forever change the business and the industry because of this pandemic but that boeing is taking it day by day and hoping that is going to come out strong and competitive now erin fronsac thank you for giving us that update what a wild story thank you. A trumpet ministration and congress are set to agree on about 450000000000. 00 in additional stimulus for Small Businesses hospitals and coronavirus testing the goal is to infuse more cash into the s. B. A. Payroll Protection Program in order to keep a Small Businesses afloat meantime u. S. Oil prices crash to record lows so here to just discuss all of that boom bust cohost and investigative journalist grants one so ben this agreement has taken well over a week to put together and part of the reason is that both democrats and republicans keep just adding other projects to be funded to write you know they do they both sides continue to try to negotiate this and the bottom line is you know Mitch Mcconnell theres a lot of criticism for him on a lot of issues but on this particular issue i think he did the right thing which was over a week ago he said this payroll protection money is going to run out lets just add 250000000000 to it lets just get that part of it and not add anything else and that was defeated and now weve had kind of a week of going back and forth meanwhile its been almost a week that program manila has been completely out of money 350000000000. 00 dollars d to go to Small Businesses and there are tens of thousands of Small Businesses who have so. So far gotten nothing on top of that the s. B. A. Keeps changing it so under this plan what it would be is about 300000000000. 00 additional dollars those would go to Small Businesses for the p. P. P. And then another 50000000000 would be available to Small Businesses for something called the Small Business Disaster Fund not exactly sure how you would qualify for that because it feels like right now pretty much all Small Businesses think theyre in a disaster and then on top of that they want to add 75000000000. 00 to go to hospitals and 25000000000. 00 for additional testing thats kind of whats all wrapped up in this 450000000000. 00 yeah and obviously we just heard the news of shake shack saying theyre going to give back some of that money because the pool is empty. Right they say theyre going to get back about 10000000. 00 which again is is not an enormous amount of money but it still helps right now that its in the shade which i couldnt say that i think you know is definitely commendable when you have so many Small Businesses that have not been able to get anything i mean originally remember they were supposed every Small Business that applied was supposed to get 10000. 00 within 3 days of the application and most law businesses did not get that they got nothing so theres a lot of Business Owners right now who are sitting there saying i need something meanwhile they are still required under their contracts to pay rent pay insurance to pay for utilities that those bills dont just go away i hope the other big corporations you know like other Food Industry giants give back some of their money like like shake shack is dead and the democrats have i have been calling for additional funding for state and local governments will that be on this bill. So its not going to be in this bill democrats are kind of slowed down this process of getting the bill passed because they have said they wanted additional funding for local governments and for state governments as you mentioned and theyre looking for you know several 100000000000. 00 to go there as well in this one in particular steve newton the treasury secretary and Mitch Mcconnell have both said thats not going to happen in this bill it might. And they say in later bills but not in this one that this one is going to be focused primarily on Small Businesses which i think personally is the right answer because look states and local governments do need additional help but the reality is is that its Small Business owners being told you cannot have your business open and you cannot work right now and you cannot pay your employees and remember Small Businesses employ how for the people in this country so its you know when people hear this and they say oh economy that equals wall street and corporations no it doesnt yes walter and corporations suck up a lot of the oxygen in the room but Small Businesses are the lifeblood of most american jobs and theyre not open right now and last man what about oil prices theyre on track for their worst day so far on record with crude Storage Facilities i mean they are piling up they are full so simply put theres no demand for any oil so what does that mean for us consumers well you would think its a good thing so so in terms of the oil price this is how incredible that is basically you know everything with west Texas Intermediate Crude Oil that sets this price is all speculation you know that middle its all speculation its not based on reality but based on that speculation the price is below a dollar a barrel right now and it has dropped to a staggeringly low amount in fact some headlines read price for oil falls below 0 for the oil delivery because theres so much supply right now theres no demand for it and yet theres already a projection that if you look towards november the price for that same barrel of crude oil that is really at a dollar today will be worth 30. 00 in november because the expectation is that once this ins and by the way no ones really able to use this oil right now so its not really helping consumers when consumers do start using it again because the supply is being held down the price is just going to get jacked back up again and then just lastly how is it that we dont call that price gouging you know you have all this talk right now about price gouging and. The guy selling. It was on but how was it not a word to order to actually hold down the supply when this is over so the price spikes again even though right now we have more oil not being used at any other time possibly in our history because ben you and i are not a part of this giant cartel. Thats really what it is and honestly because you and i dont matter because every time they talk about essential businesses where they mean its essential for some people to make a lot of money and were not on the web i dont know how you get on but let me know if you find out someone has always appreciate the update thank you.
