Billionaires see fortunes rise by 27% during the pandemic

How much Taxpayer money has been sent out in the 3 Covid-19 "rescue bills"? I heard $4.5 Trillion. Lots of $$$ spread around.

Yeah I think they just printed it directly.
Not sure of the debt implications of it, to be honest.

The president dictated lay-off? Miss that executive order.

Did he issue one to prevent shutdowns? To put us on a path like Sweden? No? Failure to lead.

I agree there should be an investigation into mismanagement of government funds

That doesn't help the average citizen pay their bills or keep their business open.

You're kidding, right? If Trump had prevented a shutdown or put us on a path like Sweden, you'd be the first to criticize that decision simply because it came from Trump.

You

Did he issue one to prevent shutdowns?

How would a federal president stop state shutdowns?

And out of those lay-offs, how many were in cities where the mayors or state governors mandated lockdowns where large portions of the population couldn’t work anyway?

The whole country shutdown, all of it.

So Trump should have ignored the CDC?

With his big mouth?
He is the leader, it's his job to do so.
Your flaunting of your success is bad mojo.
I've seen cocky millionaires lose it all.
You really should worry about the destabilization going on.
I make decent jack too. Being cocky right now could be a fatal mistake.
If most of the country crashes, you are talking zombie hords of people raping and pillaging in a cannibalistic, psychotic massacre for everyone.
And a gun won't save you in that situation. It's too many people.
Like world war z.

Wrong, bro, I have a thread from March/August where I was advocating for a Sweden approach. Nice try though.

said it before and will say it again, its us poor ones that hold up the bloody pyramid, aint no such thing as trickle down, more like sticky fingers at the top, off shore here and there, pay little to no taxes, harvesting all the wealth they can.

a reply to: UpIsNowDown

The poor dont pay taxes either.

No one put a sign up that says poor people cant attend colleges (I can find loopholes to attend nearly any college without paying a dime till I have a great job)

The only thing that keeps poor people poor are the democrats standing on your head.

If Americans would stop being jealous of others and look at there own problems there would be ALOT less poor people.

Dude, I am with you lock.stick and barrel on this , BUT, We had a disagreement months back on what a monopoly is.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are monopolies. And Apple and Android monopolize the smartphone industry.
Sure, they may not fit the 1920's def but cmon.

These dudes are all in with both sides of government now.

Its goddamned criminal and its gonna massacre the middle class and the high street.

In the mean time China is making untold billons, which they are pouring into their military.

Executive Power.

I really don’t think the president of the USA can stop state mandated shutdowns. Where in the constitution is that power granted.

Now.

So Trump should have ignored the CDC?

They were not monopolies prior to the shutdowns but the government is getting them close.

I know people like to bring trump up in everything, but the lockdowns happened in many developed nations, synchronised and coordinated...Just like at the once secretive Bilderburg meetings and Davos summit where they plan these things out in advance.

They are all working towards a larger agenda and it isn’t in the interest of their nations or citizens.

The Department of Justice can file suits and prosecute up to the Supreme Court as the citizens of Michigan did in their state. Learn how things work.

Agree completely.
It feels like a depopulation scheme.
