blame it on the virus!

The financial class needed a cover to
obfuscate the theft of amerikan wealth.
I don't buy it. It was coming to a head
before the *virus* conveniently showed up.

So our *representative* gubmint followed script,
bailed out the conmen and left the rest of us out to die.

as per ggersh...

“Awesome! I always wondered what it was like to live during the times of the Civil War, Spanish Flu, Great Depression, Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, & the Dust Bowl. Not all at once mind you, but ya know, ‘beggars/choosers” and all.”

#6 #6 #6 I was born in 1953, so I missed the Depression and WWII. There is not even a close second to right now for the bleakest hour within my life span.

As of the Nevada caucuses, Sanders was rolling towards the White House and Sleepy Joe was a punch line as a guy who went from Prohibitive Favorite to Harold Stassen as a result of his active retail campaigning. The impending crises of climate, war and too much debt at least were counterbalanced by the slim hope that Bernie could become the President and then use the Bully Pulpit to rally people to join his Political Revolution.

Boom! Joe won big on Super Tuesday and for all practical purposes captured the nomination in spite of his campaign and due to absolutely nothing he did. His Stalking Horse "opponents" simply abandoned their supporters in favor of this jerkoff who could not draw flies on his own. It was before anybody could really understand what all that really meant, when

Boom! The virus hit and the "policy" cobbled together by our incompetent political leaders brought about a third of all productive activity to a screeching halt. The jury will be out for quite a while about how well that strategy has worked and is working to save lives, but even an extreme skeptic like myself has to acknowledge that this contagious disease posed and still poses a serious threat to human life. We cannot turn back the clock now, so it really does not matter if some other scheme might have worked better.

Here is the first official hint of the cost of that policy:

Today the Feds released second quarter Gross Domestic Product for our country -- down by 32%

The short term "protections" from foreclosures and evictions will end either very soon, or in a few months if the idiots in Congress can figure out how stupid it is kick 20 or 30 million families to the street in an election year.

Either way, nothing can replace the lost production, the missed rent and mortgage payments, diminished business activity and lower tax revenues that are now gone forever.

There is no present prospect of the disease letting up from its current level of infections and there is reason to expect to it increase further. There is therefore no present prospect of economic recovery. It has already gone too long to prevent the Greatest Depression in history. If it goes another three months or longer, forget about everything.

As of right now, there is civil unrest in most major cities. The intensity and the duration of the demonstrations are a function of millions of people not having jobs. It is a lot easier to raise hell when you don't have to get up and go to work in the morning. It will be neither easy nor difficult but inevitable whenever the mass evictions and foreclosures explode. People will raise hell and then some more hell.

Virus hit first, and Creepy Joe didn't so much "win" the nomination as everyone else rolled over and played dead. Even Bernie. Shame on you Bernie.

It is good for them, not us or US. I wonder how many are spending more time on hiding from the Epstein probe?
