Rusty, like you said in the other thread. This shit is fragile. It's set up to fail. You can only have a system that benefits 1% of the people for so long. Eventually the money will have to be spread out or it will all collapse. It's why I am hopeful we will see a new structure soon. Maybe not today, maybe for our kids....
If they try to force workers back when it's still unsafe I think we might have the possibility of the first general strike in modern US history. Something has got to give.

You misjudge the American people. Progs excepted, we can't wait to get back to work.

Feel free to point out to these fine folks where I gave "Trump a blowie over $ 2 trillion." WARNING: Don't hold your breath on him getting that posted, folks. Cole is lying once again and will mysteriously disappear into his bunker.

Wow, you actually answered! Normally, you would have run off by now.
Your instant defense of the bailout shouted your approval loud and clear. I'll ask again, you attacked Obama relentlessly over spending, yet you have said nothing about Trump doing the same, but on a much larger scale...why?

Because I haven't been able to look at it carefully yet. I study things and then form opinions. Though that is not the prog way, it is mine. You'll just have to wait.

I've studied the bill. It sucks, especially for small businesses. Luckily it keeps Trump family from getting benefits.

What's to see? $6 trillion to keep a bubble inflated is as obvious as it gets.
What was your opinion on the bailing our of GM and Chrysler?

You're deluded if you think you speak for the american people. The real people intend to protect themselves and their families, and if you think they will risk their lives for capital, you're out of your gourd.

Imagine ignoring the NSC's pandemic reaction plan and saying the numbers are lower than they are and saying everything is OK. Imagine ignoring science and contradicting what doctors say live on national TV. These are the things that tank economies...

dude, the economy was going to tank because of this regardless. you seem to be a fairly smart guy, so i know you know that. closing doors, shuttering businesses, stopping travel, cancelling events, etc is happening everywhere in the world due to a pandemic. there is literally no way to stop the economy from tanking in these circumstances

Sure, but there is and was a way to prevent it from being so abrupt and or extreme, with solid leadership, reaction time, preparedness, transparency, and confidence. Trump has offered none of these besides false and unrealistic confidence at returning to normal in a few weeks. The GOP is also requesting people sacrifice their lives for the economy. It's like pouring more fuel into a fire and expecting that you will put the fire out sooner.

On Tuesday, the coronavirus stock market crash delivered the worst first quarter ever for the Dow Jones index. On Wednesday, the blue chip index picked right up where it left off.

Is it possible to have a worse person overseeing this new Depression? Can we have the election early?
