Wuhan Virus

[Adam Strange]

The Trump administration has made America #1 in the world.

Just because there are a lot of people who are being forced out of their workplaces does not mean that a depression is inevitable. Clearly, when the banks committed massive fraud under the umbrella of the Bush administration and went completely bust in 2008, no one in banking lost their jobs or went hungry.

There are a number of actions that the administration can take to head off the financial problems that the involuntarily unemployed will see.

Will the Trump administration take any of these actions? We shall see. The key questions to ask are,
1.) Will any of these actions inadvertently benefit Black Americans, and
2.) Will any of these actions cost the 1% any money, in any way, shape, or form?

Remember, Universal Health Care will allow the government to set doctor's salaries. And doctors make up much of the 1%.

Based on the administration's past track record on everything they have tried to do to date (Mexico still hasn't paid for that wall, and where is that "insurance for everybody" and his "phenomenal health care plan"? Same place as Trump Airlines, Trump Steaks, and Trump Vodka*), I'd say that a lot of people are going to have to move back in with their parents. Assuming their parents haven't contracted the COVID-19 virus, that is.

Business Insider is not exactly your most socialist publication, but they have been keeping track of Trump's accomplishments and this is what they have to say: https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...impeachment-11
