Rugged Individualism for the Poor 3/17/20

Here we are, it’s a Tuesday, an election day, and it’s bail out Wall Street time, the markets have crashed and the government is coming to the rescue of corporate America, the Big Banks and Wall Street.How many borrowed trillions will it take to make the rich whole?

What the Corona crisis has shown us is that there are a lot of poor people in America who will lose their jobs, and face an uncertain future, they don’t have corporate America’s safety net, and this is the only first world country without universal health care, in a public health emergency.

The crazy States are still holding an election in the middle of an epidemic, today, and it’s sick a fork in Bernie day, he’s done. They could go to voting by mail, but some States do what they can to restrict the vote. As ML King was fond of saying, it’s corporate welfare for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor.
