  • BoJo chooses helicopter money

    Additionally, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said that the government would step in to pay 80 percent of salaries of workers who are unable to work but are retained on the payroll rather than being let go by their employers.

    “For the first time in our history, the government is going to step in and help to pay people’s wages,” he said.

    The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will cover 80 percent of the salary of retained workers up to a total of $2,875 a month. Employers can top up salaries further. It is part of a massive stimulus package to help deal with the crisis that has shut down most of daily life across Europe and in the U.S.

          They aren't the only ones. Do you remember Flo-Jo (Florence Griffith Joyner) the American track star from the 1980s who shattered world records and set new ones that still haven't been beat.
