    Default Thoughts on the Covid effect

    - To all you folks out there carrying on about #fakecrisis; It's actually a MIS-HANDLED SITUATION that has developed into a crisis, courtesy by the clowns currently in the White House that many of you folks voted for! Deal with it.

    - Ask yourself...if the majority of America is technically unemployed now, and service oriented business have near zero customers, how the hell is Wall St. doing so well? WAKE THE HELL UP, PEOPLE!

    Wall St is doing so well because of:

    1) The Fed
    2) People are betting on a sharp recovery when the country does open back up
    3) The top stocks, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook & Google are absolutely crushing it right now

    When Inflation hits the world, it's better to be an Owner of the Production Means.

    which means that Wall St. doesn't have a damned thing to do with Joe Schmoe's wallet...it's all about the corps, high investors and their hip connection to the Fed. A disgrace.

    Yes. Let's face it ... the Worker Drones are disposable. But, the Good News is that we can import MORE Worker Drones from Third World countries to replace them at much cheaper Wage Rates.

    You do know that's the true mind set of a whole lot of people in the upper echelons of both parties, right? And you and I are considered disposable!

    The stock market is not the economy. Look at the past decade as just one example where we've had the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression yet the Dow boomed. But too many people mistakenly look at the Dow and think that determines whether the economy is good or bad. And for too long the Fed has worried about the stock market over the economy when making decisions.

    (I do appreciate your Libertarian-esque bagging on the Fed. I'm not sure why there isn't more bi-partisanship on that front.)

    The sad and funny (not funny 'haha', but funny 'odd') is that Blue Team is the most ardent supporter of importing Third World Labor to replace the American Worker. Somehow, some way, Blue Team thinks the welfare of some guy from Bangladesh is more important than the welfare of the American Worker next door.

    I am no investment guru or market expert so take what I say with an extremely large grain of salt. I think there is a definite element of FOMO at play here. The market dove, the Fed came to the rescue and people were afraid to be left on the sidelines so they dove back in. As long as the Fed keeps priming the pump it's hard to step away.

    In other words Trump is responsible for the world wide pandemic because of his mishandling the response.
    Hell I knew Trump welded power but I never realized he has the power of an mount Olympus God. Perfect example of the legalization of pot.

    Also the stock market discounts the future. Too complicated for you to understand

    Bernie preaches the opposite of this.

    Don't play dumber than you are.....those are YOUR WORDS, not mine. If you don't understand what I posted in the OP, either take a refresher course in comprehensive reading or get a nearby adult or librarian to explain it to you. Jeez, you Dump trucks are pathetic!
