    Overnight loans at 0% interest. AKA free short-term money.

    And if they don't pay that back, it's okay, the gov't will bail them out.

    So really, it's free money.

      Enraging doesn't even begin to describe it.

      I call it mass murder.

      That pretty well sums it right up.

        Yes, the $1T per day was not what I'd heard elsewhere. Nonetheless it's obscene. I expect, like with Obama, there are faaaar too few limitations on what they can do with those loans. For example, they could specify how to force them to help the people while helping their corporations, but its inevitable they will only help themselves.

        The trickle down will be more catastrophe, like in 2008 when ~5 million lost their homes but at least 4x worse this time. Many more will also suffer greatly. And, among all this, MANY will die.

          I try to do my duty as best I can while trying to save the world.

          I never said ignorance was an excuse, the opposite actually, often.

          I'm not reposting much, much less blue-check propaganda. I think you have me confused with someone else.

          "It's easier to deceive people than convince people they have been deceived."

          I just stated that the other day under "Remember #2".

          Are you a bot?

            When companies get so big that they can afford to lobby, I'd say they need to be broken up.

            For sure.

            But it's like the unstoppable force vs the immovable object - except the unstoppable force has been brainwashed to socially distance.
