    Default Major Cruise Lines Sliced Out Of Bailout Despite Push From Trump

    Major cruise line companies won’t benefit from the massive bailout program passed by the Senate despite a push to protect them by President Donald Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    The companies are controversial because they incorporate overseas and fly under foreign flags to dodge American safety, health and environmental regulations. In addition, they hire largely foreign crews to duck U.S. pay rates and unions. They have also played a significant role in the spread of coronavirus.

    Trump is a close friend of Carnival Corp. Chairman Micky Arison, whose company was a key sponsor of Trump’s “Apprentice” reality TV show.

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    I agree, along with hotels and casinos, it's absurd

    Protecting the corporations that incorporate offshore by giving them a piece of the tax-funded bailout! Think about that bull-shit cronyism Trump supporters. America first you say?

    You're happy because cruise line employees (many of them immigrants) will lose their jobs?

    I understand some, but, and I will get in trouble for this one, I always thought going into business encorporated a degree of risk, that it wasn't supposed to be a fail safe endeavor, risk reward, especially as it applies to casinos. It was a Governmemt shutdown, but, the virus moving unchecked wold have done the same

    And some corporations, they just got a huge tax break, and now their cash flow is that poor that they need bailouts while the schmuck street struggles
