That's not capitalism. Capitalism is more. Capitalism is never enough. Capitalism is that if you had a dollar, and I had everything else in the world, we were the two richest and everybody else starved, I'd be trying to take your dollar.

Do you know what's going to be really funny?  Watching all the socialism the "capitalists" are going to use for themselves because of this crisis. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/489332-senate-eyes-quick-exit-after-vote-on-coronavirus-stimulus-package
The wealthy never lose, you got to love capitalism!!!





Indeed, qman, indeed. Good post.

For many of the most wealthy and powerful people and corps, there is little chance of true failure any longer.  The kind of failure that results in the end of a regime, company, or positions on executive boards.  Why?  Because, as you've noted and as we've all seen since around 2008, they love socialism when they're bailed out of the ships they've had hands in sinking.  And hell,  even if board members are removed, not only are they so wealthy by that point that they dont need a "job", but theres always another position or ten waiting for them elsewhere.

While I understand that the great recession could/would have been more catastrophic for the plebes if the whole thing went belly up, it would've been catastrophic only because the govt wont put trillions directly into pockets of the common folk like it does with those it deems too big and/or powerful to fail.

Socialism for me, but not for thee.

Up against the wall, the lot of em. Line those fuckers up.

I wonder what those guys make.... are we talking the cashiers?

Imagine if every cashier or stocker made $40-50k a year instead of $25k.  If there are 100 of them in one store, that is 150-250k a year extra in labor.... and there are probably 200 such basic employees at each walmart in my area.
So say you had 1500 basic employes at ten walmarts in a city, each making +/- 15-25k more per year.. thatd be between $20-$40 million extra dollars in labor for each cities Walmart's.
So it feels like a nice raise for someone to go from 12-$20 or so bucks an hour.... but if it is everyone of them.... that is why they dont do it.
I agree though, they shouldn't be on welfare, that is shitty - but should they be, making 25-30k a year? I bet if they had kids they might qualify for a little bit of aid, maybe a few hundred bucks in food money....
Damn what a world

Walmart cashiers make between 11 and 12 dollars an hour, except in California and other places that have mandated higher minimums.

It wasn't the republicans putting in 'diversity quota panel's for buisinesses.

The democrats are fucking evil. Every one of them. The republicans became evil because they were I infiltrated by neocons, which are just socially conservative leftists. They almost destroyed conservstism philandering to evangelicals and idiots.




The misspelling of conservatism, OK no big deal. The puzzling insertion of the first-person singular nominative case personal pronoun, whatever. But philandering is just precious.




I have a spell check I can't turn off that corrects things that are correct and causes all sorts of problems.
What's your excuse for all the idiotic things you say?




So you are blaming your spell check for philandering instead of pandering?

Welp folks, looks like we’re getting our $1,200 buckaroo’s per head.

Even though the bill passed, no one is sure how eligibility will be determined yet, which is mindblowingly retarded.

But at least all the corps are eligible for over half a billion.:super:

Excellent video.  :thumbup:

This guy clearly knows what he's talking about (ignore our fellow racist who doesn't seem interested in listening to a 'bearded Indian').

It's a great overview of the Fed for those that don't know too much about it, but if you already do, start at 8:15.

Long story short, the Fed wants to buy (and therefore bailout) investments that are popular with the rich and big banks, not the working class.

Looks like Bernie's holding up the $2trillion bill to ensure Main St. gets some.

Quote:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, warned that unless a group of GOP senators back down from their demand for changes to the unemployment insurance benefits, he would slow walk the bill until stronger guardrails were put on hundreds of billions in funding for corporations.

"In my view, it would be an outrage to prevent working-class Americans to receive the emergency unemployment assistance included in this legislation," Sanders said in a statement.

"Unless these Republican senators drop their objection, I am prepared to put a hold on this bill until stronger conditions are imposed on the $500 billion corporate welfare fund to make sure that any corporation receiving financial assistance under this legislation does not lay off workers, cut wages or benefits, ship jobs overseas or pay workers poverty wages," Sanders continued.



:freewilly:

Not necessarily, republicans just flipped a shit because some people earn less than 600$ in a month and therefore, giving them 600$ for the month would "incentivize them not to work".

I think the Democrats have leverage here. They have to make it look like they care about the people. But the Republicans are in crisis mode. They have to convince the people that they just didn't fuck the country up completely.

Nah, give it a few weeks. Dollar is going up right now because it's seen as "safe". Once the rest of the world is recovering while the US is still setting records, then you dump the dollar.
