I went to my neighborhood Giant yesterday and they had both toilet paper and paper towels in stock, not vast quantities mind you, but there was product on their shelves. Very shortly, the sales of those two items are going to seriously decline. Let's be honest here, if you have a freaking closet full of toilet paper you're not going to need to buy it for a long, long, long time.
There are a lot of people out there who feel Wall Street represents the American economy... yesterday shows how wrong those beliefs are. 6.6 million more Americans filed for unemployment last week, they're estimating the actual total of Americans filing for unemployment over the last 3 weeks to be around 18 million... and the Dow Jones went up. That's right. States do not have enough money to pay the bill. They're going to go into debt. So, why did the markets go up? The Fed is buying some sort of bonds and those billionaires who own 84% of the American stock market jumped for joy. The stock market has always been a reflection of greed, rather than the American economy.
Evidently some of the Idiot Jerk's allies wish he'd cut back on his daily briefings, especially since a majority of Americans are beginning to look at how shitty his response was at the beginning. One anonymous voice said he should stay away from the podium and just let the science guys talk. Perhaps this is because a number of stations are cutting away before he's finished, or they're only telecasting the bits where Brix and Fauci speak. My opinion? Let him continue, every time he opens his mouth he hurts himself more and more. And I really do think he should continue his stupid Tweets. Yesterday, he Tweeted an objection to an Op Ed in the Wall Street Journal saying they were ignoring the fact that his ratings were higher than Monday Night Football and the Bachelor's Final Episode. Try and think about that without laughing. Really? There is a pandemic sweeping the globe. As of yesterday, almost 17,000 Americans have died from it. And he's pleased his ratings are beating the Bachelors Final Episode.
Finally, since there are some out there who believe this is going to be a good Friday, I thought I'd post this picture of the Idiot Jerk. This is what evil looks like.
See how It gloats as It sucks their souls from them, or maybe it's because the woman in pink has her left hand on his ass.
“The stock market has always been a reflection of greed, rather than the American economy.“ and that’s why IMPOTUS likes the stock market. And so do his billionaire cronies.
ReplyDeleteUgh.
And his approval is at 42%. Way too high. Are people idiots?
That was rhetorical.
XoXo
Yes, a certain group of Americans are Idiots. You know what they say, "there's always one in every crowd."
Deletethe networks should not be airing the dump AT ALL, just the science people. the dump contributes NOTHING to the briefing.
ReplyDeleteI believe are lot of them are now cutting away or only airing the segments with the science guys.
DeleteThat's true, all he says is same the same sentence over, but changes words to different patterns in the same sentence. Talks in circles, and often has nothing to do with the subject
DeleteMost people especially those massive unemployed folks, don't have any money in the markets and so they don't care. i just hope they remember that big business and the Criminal-In-Chief are making money off their pain.
ReplyDeleteTheir 401k's are the the closest average Americans come to the stock market, and this virus has hurt some of them very badly.
DeleteNext week, I wonder how many in the picture will have caught covid -19?
ReplyDeleteI'm off now to make some more hot cross buns now.
Notice I didn't ask whose buns you were making.
DeleteI agree. Let the stupid insipid tweets keep coming along with his asinine press conferences. It makes him look like a clown. To boast about ratings when people are dying from this proves what a total and complete ass he is.
ReplyDeleteHis Tweets are great at painting his pure ignorance. I guess he was on his ratings rage again this morning.
