didn't ya'll recently get a democratic governor too?

The root problem is cacs in this country. I live in Kentucky and these idiots are mad at the governor for not opening the state back up. Even though Kentucky has been doing a good job of keeping infections and deaths down compared to other states.

Any logical person in November would vote Mitch McConnell out. Unfortunately the cacs in this state will vote for him again.

There are some cacs that will vote against Mitch but there are a lot more ignorant and racist cacs that will still vote for Mitch.

It doesn't matter. The curtain has been pulled and what lies behind it is ugly as hell.

Picture this, the US government gave y'all a $1,200 pittance while the super rich, primarily real estate investors and hedge funds, got a $170 billion tax giveaway, . This is larger than the total amount for hospitals ($100 billion) and for relief for all state and local governments ($150 billion). Worse, the bonanza for these billionaires lets them offset losses from 2018, before the pandemic.

How is any of this sustainable?

The 2008 financial crisis showed us that this QE process, in which money is created out of thin air without any connection to economic activity, is totally unsustainable.

Once international creditors lose faith in the US$ it's a wrap. Hyperinflation will follow.

the world economy is based on the dollar reserve. If other countries start to move away from that we’re done. But they’d go bankrupt to.

And I fully believe the US would go to war, before allowing that to happen
it doesn’t work like this and QE saved the economy in 2008 and will save the economy in 2020

People be talking to talk. What currency would become the new reserve currency? The Yuan :mjlol: not after this :mjlol: The Euro? Not with their negative interest rates. The Yen? Unlikely. Global transactions are not gonna be transacted in Japanese currency. The Pound? People are waiting to see how Brexit works out and still most likely no. The Dollar is here to stay. We’ll be old and gray before the US dollar has any risks of being supplanted.

I've been coast to coast during this entire pandemic, the older demographic are out and about now, they aren't cowering in their homes.

Of course the travel industry is fukked but they are irrelevant because they can't practically enforce the sort of social distancing necessary for this first phase of "soft opening." They need to worry about not being liquidated in the interim.

Of all the issues that will plague and slow an economic recovery, old people being scared to leave their house is not going to be near the top of the list.
Man, I spoke to my aunts the other day and they said they’re having trouble keeping my 82 year old grandfather in the house. He’s got his mask and he’s living his life. I worry about my grandmother, who’s confined to a wheelchair, but she encourages him to get up and get out. So far, they’re good but I do worry. I can’t get too mad at him, because I haven’t been staying inside either

Well I do actually. I work in the London square mile for a Risk consultancy.

You see, the US economy has been exposed as a ponzi scheme, no matter how much fiat money is thrown at the corrupt banking system.
