It is a time of opposites; capitalists become socialists, extroverts
become introverts, morning people become night owls, closed people become open. We are already reinventing who we are.
Its weird that our Fox president still thinks it’s a hoax, Chinese
and all about him. Over by Easter. I’m not saying the virus is his fault but he
did nothing to identify, prepare or prevent for this inevitability until forced
to, (by the media?). It is the predictable
(The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis - 2018) price we are paying for his systematic deconstruction
of our government by removing necessary regulations and protections of the common
good and everything else Obama.
It’s what happens when he won’t read or understand the daily intelligence briefings that identified this crisis in January. It is what you get for putting unqualified cronies, or hostile lobbyist for the other side, in charge of things they hate or know nothing about, or for abolishing necessary agencies altogether, like the Pandemic Office, and taking no responsibility for it. As Forest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does”. We are finally getting the punch line of the joke we call Trump.

Meanwhile the rest of
us in the real world are concerned for our health, lives and livelihood. So I guess he is going to bail out all his hotels
and the airlines with his Trillion Dollar Slush Fund and send us all $1200 so we
don’t blame this on him and he can get re-elected. Sending us checks for our money that he will
sign, to buy his second term. Genius. It’s enough money to line up dollars to the
moon and back 5 times. Just put it on
the credit card. Let the kids pay for
it.
All these mega companies are too big to fail so we bail them
out, there is no reality or loss or downside for them. Its like Millennial Little League, everyone
gets a trophy. These companies weren’t sharing
their extreme profits with us these past years so why should we cover their
bottom. There is no bottom for these companies,
no risk, no accountability or responsibility for these fat cats who spent the
last 10 years buying back their own stock and bolstering their multi million
dollar pensions.

Or how about the Banks and Financial institutions
that borrow money from the Fed (us) for zero percent interest and loan it back
to us for 4% and maintain their granite, oak and brass edifices, huge salaries
and lavish offices,. Meanwhile We The People,
who are mostly one missed paycheck from bankruptcy, need this money to buy critical
stuff, like food and health care. We can’t
borrow it or print it for free but we are the consumers that drive 70% of this
economy. Give it to us, it will trickle
up.
This economic shutdown is going to cost us more than Bernie’s
and Liz’s proposed programs and double the debt before we are done. But all these anti-government people and independent
states and companies are hitting up the fed to come to their aid! Again.
You can’t have it both ways. But
WTF, we can just let the kids fix it along with the Climate, Entitlements and
Tax breaks for millionaires.
People are now outraged that rich people and athletes are getting
the tests first, like it is a surprise that rich people have health insurance and
what we have is good enough. Welcome to America
where we capitalize and privatize personal profits and socialize risk, costs
and losses.
It’s a perfect parallel to the climate crisis where they ignore the scientists and the experts for their own gain, and we pay the price with our lives. Where pollution is free, and companies can make money at your puerile. It's like they take a dump on your front lawn on their way to the bank every day, laughing.
