The
medical data is starting
to come in and it
reveals that black
Americans are dying
of the coronavirus
at about twice the
rate of white Americans,
in key cities.
If you're white and
those numbers were
reversed you'd be
murderously angry.
So shouldn't you
be murderously angry
already?
Now, let's add to
this the news that
FEMA is confiscating,
without explanation,
PPEs and medical
equipment from medical
facilities that had
previously ordered
them. Stable-Genius-In-Law
Jared Kushner, who
is overseeing this
new system, has decreed
that states and cities
must now bid against
one another for this
equipment, for the
benefit (and profit)
of brand new intermediary
companies.
It doesn't take a
genius to figure
out that poorer communities
are going to have
a tough time outbidding
more affluent ones.
This is by design.
t-Rump and his cronies
are monsters.

COVID-45: "Send
all the medical supplies
to me and I'll see
that they get to
the right people."
Public: "Yeah,
but the 'right people'
are middlemen who
jack the price up
so they can make
an obscene profit.
Why would you do
that?"
COVID-45: "Because
if the government
shared the supplies
directly to hospitals
I wouldn't get huge
campaign donations
in return."
-----------
Actual t-Rump statement
today: “I think
mail-in voting is
horrible. It’s
corrupt!”
Actual reporter response: “But
you voted by mail
in Florida’s
election last month,
didn’t you?”
If, at this point,
t-Rump had responded
by saying "Yeah,
but that's because
I'm corrupt" his
voters would not
have batted an eye.
-----------------
I'm beginning to
think one of the
cruelest tricks played
on this country is
when the middle class
was convinced that
it'd be a good idea
to tie its retirement
to the stock market.
Look at the result.
Right now we're being
told we need to get
back to work for
the sake of Dow Jones.
For the sake of our
401k's. For the sake
of those 30 companies.
But 81% of all stock
is owned by just
the top 10% of the
wealthiest Americans.
Read that again.
So that very affluent
10% is telling the
other 90% to suck
it up, get out there
and drive this economy
even though they
may die in the process.
Keep that stock price
up. Eat that cake.
Don't lose sight
of the fact that
the reason the Dow
Jones reached such
great heights recently
is because the GOP
gave the rich, their
donors, a HUGE tax
cut in 2018 which
allowed them to buy
back more of their
own stock. This is
borrowed money, cash
that bloated the
deficit, and the
rich aren't helping
to lower it again
because big companies
no longer pay tax.
Trump has also forced
the Fed to drop its
rates which also
artificially propped
up the market. Farmers
used to call this "eating
the seed corn".
That's not a good
thing.
You know who really
runs this economy?
You, the consumer.
Stocks didn't drop
because you stopped
working, it's because
you stopped spending.
The sick part is
that some people
actually made money
betting the stock
market would drop.
Yes, you can't find
toilet paper but
some insider
made several million
bucks betting
Apple
would lose 50 points.
I'm not against capitalism,
just vulture capitalism.
We, the people, should
never, ever have
to die because ultra-rich
investors are engaged
in a twisted, financial
dick-waving contest.
