They Still Have Their $50 Trillion In Wealth - There Is No Need For Any Depression

The crazy rich can pay for everything we need until we get treatment / vaccine for the Corona Virus.

Their plan is to buy low after the carnage, and pump it up again.

Again.

Disaster Capitalism.

All the media mouthpieces are talking about a possible recession / depression.

Don't be fooled.

$5 Trillion will pay for everything (except lives lost of course) and they crazy rich will still have $45 Trillion left over.

Don't be suckers.

Don't let them do another round of pump and dump.

divvy up the cost, write a check to cover it all, and they would still be billionaires. They might just be pulled down a little closer to the pack, but the richest guy would still be on top.

Again.

Anyone tired of playing this game yet?

Work twice as hard for half as much?

is that none of them are satisfied unless, not only that they are the obscenely wealthy, but that the people around them are destitute.

When this is over, you can rest assured that the rich will end up richer, the middle class will lose more ground, and the poor will be poorer.

The only thing that will ever change the system is too horrible to think about.

Are the people who have nothing, and have to work to make enough to buy food. To hell with vyrusses!

I was watchin Ali Velshi talking about how the well off can work from home, or not work at all, and the poor have no choice but to risk their lives and ours to get pennies to rub together. You can't social distance starving people.
