Billionaires Are the Pandemic’s Villains, Not Its Heroes

EAT THE RICH

The economic imbalances in the world we have ignored for the sake of our own standard of living is why the money printer works.
We only owe ourselves. There’s nothing to come due if we decide there isn’t. There’s no actual loss because none of it is real. It’s all bullshit on top of bullshit on top of a lie to maintain 500 year old power structures.

A (CRYTO) money based on trust and a currency (USD) based on debt is not the same thing.

The L.A. Lakers took PPP money!

Burn it down. Businesses shouldn’t be allowed to take #PPPLoans UNLESS they have operated less than 5 years. This will thin out the poorly managed/bad budgeted business that should have “prepared 6 months of savings/expenses” like citizens are consistently told to do.
The Buss family’s small business. I’ve
Never been prouder of not being an N.B.A. fan. HATE THE #LAKERS. If the Coronavirus had happened three months earlier, @SenSanders  would have run away with the nomination. they get free positive coverage/visibility/virtue signalling for giving it back. Lakers are 2nd highest valued franchise in NBA. Fines or suspension needed. Rich people are always going to grab what ever they can and then complain if a poor person gets a nickel. The money had to run through a bank. The #Lakers RIP #Kobe #Wuhan – Nike hosted Kobe for his 7th China tour.

Covid-19 has blown apart the myth of Silicon Valley innovation

The frustration in Marc Andreessen’s post on our failure to prepare and respond competently to the coronavirus pandemic is palpable, and his diagnosis is adamant: “a failure of action, and specifically our widespread inability to ‘build.’” Why don’t we have vaccines and medicines, or even masks and ventilators? He writes: “We could have these things but we chose not to­—specifically we chose not to have the mechanisms, the factories, the systems to make these things. We chose not to ‘build.’”

Billionaires Are the Pandemic’s Villains, Not Its Heroes

STEVE FORBES Billionaire CEO declares the COVID-19 pandemic over, orders the working class back to work. The Forbes family is a wealthy extended American family long prominent in Boston, Massachusetts. The Forbes family’s fortune originates from trading opium and tea between North America and China in the 19th century plus other investments in the same period.

As tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs in the coronavirus crisis, the richest Americans saw their wealth rise by hundreds of billions of dollars. It’s not a coincidence.

These are the same people who lobby and pressure and dangle donations in front of politicians in order to bring down taxes on the rich. As a result of their efforts, billionaire taxes have been slashed 79 percent in the last four decades, and the sum total of US billionaire wealth jumped from $240 billion in 1990 to nearly $3 trillion today.

All of this has come, of course, at the cost of austerity and the expense of public programs. In other words, these are the same people who convinced politicians to design unemployment insurance programs to fail working-class people. They’re not the heroes of the crisis — they’re the villains.
