USING RECOVERY TO CREATE RESILIENCE
“Build back better” is an expression coined by a UN task force charged with coming up with improved disaster-recovery plans. For them, building back better meant using recovery after calamities—they were thinking of earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes—to restore equitable social systems, revitalize livelihoods, and protect the environment. Don’t just rebuild houses—install clean water systems. Don’t just improve early warning systems— create safer roads and dwellings.
For us in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, build back better means making good on the commitments to stakeholders that everyone was so eagerly talking about last year.

Yet, even before the crisis, one-third of Americans thought technology companies and banks had a negative effect on the country, and more than half had a negative view of large corporations overall. The trust isn’t there . . . yet.
What would it take? To build back better, companies need to redesign, reorient, and realign.
Do we think we can go back to an old normal when grocery workers, home health assistants, farmworkers, and delivery drivers can barely scratch out a livelihood? Should we want to?
When companies commit to “purpose,” this must by definition reorient corporate priorities. We have for the past five decades—guided by Milton Friedman’s 1970 dictate—glorified total returns to shareholders where interests of stakeholders were only a derivative of the duty to the shareholder.

“We are about to commit the biggest intergenerational crime in the history of mankind. We need to bring us together not drive us apart,” said the 63-year-old Dutchman, who won plaudits for pushing the benefits of sustainable business long before it became fashionable.
“We are trying to create tipping points on a sectorial level. The premise is that chief executives in the private sector need to drive major change in the absence of politicians doing it right now. Not exclusively but actively helping de-risk the political process,” Polman said.
“Over the next 10 years more responsibility will be put on business to move faster to implement the UN’s sustainability goals simply because of financial flow that needs to happen that cannot come right now from government.”

Sounds a lot like what Trump is already doing (or done) 😎
Example?
The Biden Build Back Better Plan outlines mostly what Trump already did pre-covid and is setting up again 😎
Three Red Banners (Chinese: 三面红旗) was an ideological slogan in the late 1950s which called on the Chinese people to build a socialist state. The "Three Red Banners" also called the "Three Red Flags," consisted of the General Line for socialist construction, the Great Leap Forward and the people's communes.

China likely told Biden to put the 3 red banners in his logo, because he is owned and controlled by the Chinese. They need him in there so they can take Taiwan (to start with) and not worry about Having Donald Trump step on China's neck.
The three arrows symbol is popularly used within the American Antifa movement, along with flags based on the symbol of the German Antifa.[12] (The original 1930s Antifa group, Antifaschistische Aktion, opposed the Iron Front, whom they regarded as fascist and bourgeois,[citation needed] and the Three Arrows were also used to represent resistance against Antifa's affiliated party, the KPD.)[1]
In the postwar era, the historical organisation inspired new groups and networks, known as the wider antifa movement, many of which use the aesthetics of the historical Antifa, especially its abbreviated name and a modified version of its logo. During the Cold War, Antifa had a dual legacy in East Germany and West Germany, respectively. In the east, it was considered part of the history and heritage of the KPD's successor, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany. In West Germany, its aesthetics and name were embraced by Maoists and later autonomists from the 1970s.
During the war, both Dassler brothers were members of the NSDAP (The National Socialist German Workers' Party) and eventually even produced a weapon called "Panzerschreck" an anti-tank bazooka, made with the help of forced labor. The Dasslers both joined the Nazi Party prior to the war, and Adi supplied shoes to the Hitler Youth movement, and to German athletes at the 1936 Olympics. It's also believed that Adi Dassler used Russian prisoners of war to help at his factory during the war since there was a labor shortage due to the war effort
Biden's "build back better" campaign comes straight out of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset initiative. In one post, the WEF called on governments to start supporting unsolicited proposals from companies, allowing them to suggest projects for them to do.
One thing the post doesn't explain is how governments are supposed to know whether the companies making the proposals would even do a good job at the work, not to mention whether the work even needs to be done in the first place. The suggestion has to do with infrastructure development.
In another post, the World Economic Forum again emphasized the so-called "stakeholder economy," in which the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals play a major role. The WEF uses COVID-19 as an opportunity to push for something it has long been calling for. Essentially, the organization wants to make some dramatic changes without allowing anyone to vote on whether they think those changes should be made.
It's pure propaganda painted in a picture that sounds good but is only a cover for socialism and other troubling thoughts.

To "Build Back Better", remove all CoronaFlu restrictions and keep Donald Trump in the White House. 2021 would then be BETTER than America, and the world, has ever experienced. (That we know of)
