That’s actually lower than their worst days so maybe they are stabilizing, albeit at a high level.

The US slides into the number 1 slot.

Just curious, What exactly did you dislike about that post so much? Seemed one of the more harmless ones of the bunch.

Orange man is an idiot. Socialism is good. Not sure where communism comes in other than you probably don’t understand what socialism is and are confusing the two. Do you know what this bailout is.......socialism!!

I’d also like to add that they know the government will bail them out when anything bad happens. I just feel if there was ever a time when you would think big corps could survive several tough months it would be right now. Economy was roaring and they just got massive tax cuts. Sad state of affairs.

Let’s buy those things with the 500 billion dollars set aside for the greedy corporations who can’t save a dime on their own. Can we agree on that? I never said we shouldn’t be spending money on a strategic stockpile of medical supplies (that you would think should have already existed) Why do Americans get scolded and told to have a 6 month emergency saving plan yet we don’t hold corporations to the same standard. You can’t be serious about drain the swamp either, trump is the king of swamp monsters and has brought on the swampiest pieces of shit in history. And this part shouldn’t even be up for debate. Conservatives are the all time pros when it comes to swampy pork barrel add ons to bills. They created that game and are working it again.

I’m sorry but performing arts supports workers just like you mentioned and is run and supported by the average American. It also supplies a creative product that many millions of Americans enjoy and will need after months of social isolation. We gave corporations a 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut 2 years ago and now are going to hand them a 500 billion dollar slush fund because not a single one of them could manage to save any sort of rainy day fund. It’s absolutely outrageous. And to be really specific, 200 million dollars is actually .01 percent of the total bailout. You thinking that .01% of the bailout is somehow a disgusting amount of money automatically makes you far more clueless than me.

I think the important take away is that if you do catch this and end up quite sick, you have a 4-10% chance of dying, that's pretty terrifying, in other words, the death rate for moderately to severely sick people is 4%

Let's say they give 200 million dollars to the performing arts, which is something that has the potential to actually help normal Americans, that accounts for less than .1% of the 2 TRILLION dollar bailout but somehow you are fine with $500 BILLION (25%!!) for corporate bailouts even though these companies just got a massive tax cut and have been buying back stock like crazy. Either you are really bad at math or you are you awful human, because that is decimal dust in the grand scheme of it all. I'm starting to think its the latter...
