Apparently Steve Mnuchin was on TV this morning claiming that the $1200/person in the relief package was plenty to get everyone by for 10 weeks. I'd really love to see that smug, rich asshole subsist on $17/day, because I would bet my last penny he couldn't do it. My rent is $56/day. Even if I were...

Does somebody have GoToMeeting capacity or a similar app? We could have an international meetup.

No sneezing allowed.
