Not like I have any control over people not voting.

No malarkey Joe sends a stern message to CEOs everywhere to give him their wOrD they won't do stock buybacks during the crisis while Trump supports the prohibition of stock buybacks written into law. Great leadership skills there Joe!

Yeah, that was pretty weak. He is pretty much just asking corporations to do the bare minimum when there is already extreme heat on corporations to not do buy backs. Does this message make the Democratic base excited? Is this going to bring Democratic Socialists back into the fold?

Who the **** gives a ****

Biden gonna relax until october so hes well rested for the general. And he has to avoid getting the virus because then bernie might win the primary.

Airlines spent 96% of their available cash flow on stock buybacks over the last decade. Now they need a bailout. Once they get our money they'll continue to fire their employees, cut wages and buyback even more shares. But who cares? **** us, amirite?

He's going to rest in the middle of a global crisis as the oppositions hope for defeating the incumbent president? Trump is out there every single day, last I heard Joe speak he was telling people it was safe to vote.

I read Altzheimers Joe was going to do a daily shadow briefing on the pandemic.
Maybe it will catch on. In times of national crisis, instead of pulling together, opposition leaders could undermine the actual team leading the efforts!

I guess at this point in time, we can disagree with how poorly Trump is doing, maybe the current situation isn't dramatic enough for you. But I wonder if you will disagree in the following months, when the death toll has risen drastically. When a significant portion of our doctors and RNs are unable to help bc they are either in quarantine, in intensive care, or dead.

The financial toll on our economy will be great, and neither Trump nor Biden has done enough to address how they will help the vast majority of people that will suffer financially from this crisis. I'm sure everyone here have their jobs and businesses all set for the next 12-18 months and have absolutely nothing at all to worry about, but the vast majority of America is far from it.

Warren, Harris and Porter need to be immediately put in charge of our government. The old senile psychopaths need to get the **** out of the way.

Is Mr Biden currently in political office? Why does anyone care where he is anyways?

big hack.

Why does he have to be in public office to require him to address the nation? Does the current crisis not call for it?

Yeah, let's just let the government take care of everyone. Global Debt to GDP is at a record high and interest rates are at zero but hey we can solve every problem by getting into more debt (that future generations can pay off). Nevermind that people chose to buy that brand new expensive iphone. They chose to take out a $50k loan for their brand new pickup they don't need. They chose to rent the nicest apartment or purchase that expensive house while living month to month. They chose to go to fancy restaurants and have costly vacations and spend thousands on plastic surgery, bbls, breast implants, breast implant removal, etc.

I didn't live through the great depression but it's lessons were passed down to me. If this is as bad as you think it will be a lot of people and businesses are going to learn those lessons the hard way. Hopefully, they'll pass those lessons on to future generations because otherwise history will continue to repeat itself.


I would think the people that want him to get elected would care.

Ya maybe Liz SuperPAC Warren will help the people

Meh it was pretty much tongue in cheek. Biden is doing exactly what anyone with a brain expected him to.

Oh so you think this people will suffer from over spending on Brazilian butt jobs and Cybertrucks? Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and can't handle a $400 emergency.

Exactly. Don't get a loan for a $5000 butt lift if you don't even have $400 cash. Still, not as bad as paying $5k for breast implants just to spend $2500 to have them removed a few months later.

As for the $50k truck I was just talking about a plain ol' Chevy Silverado. The Chevy website lists it at $28,300 but with an "as shown" price of $49,200 excluding destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Of course the dummies that pay $50k+ for a Silverado also waste their money on GAP insurance, extended warranty, window etching, wheel protection, key protection, paint protection, and all sorts of other unnecessary BS that they are willing to throw their money down the toilet for.

I'm pretty sure half of America that's living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford a $400 emergency aren't getting buttlifts and buying chevy silverados.

But bailing out the airline industry after they spent everything on stock buybacks is perfectly fine as long as they give us their wOrD they won't do it again.

Yang Gang! Is what they'll call his cell block when he goes to prison.

capitalism ensures the efficient allocation of resources

What are you talking about? There are over 17 million cosmetic surgeries/procedures a year in the US alone and people that can't afford American plastic surgeons often go to places like the DR or Mexico for their surgeries. You don't need much money or a high paying job to get surgery. You just need the ability to get a loan. People that are wasting their money paying plastic surgery loans are the exact type of people that can't come up with $400s for an emergency.

As for the trucks, I know lots of guys with blue collar jobs and families to support that have newish $50k+ trucks. My buddy that just got released by ICE recently has a used truck worth about $20k but he pays like 15 to 20% interest on it so it might as well be a $50k truck.

As for the airlines, why should we bail them out? Survival of the fittest, IMO. Warren Buffett will bail a couple of them out and the rest can go out of business for all I care. Oh, I can imagine the horror that some people will experience when the remaining airlines don't offer first class anymore. 1st class is just another in a long list of examples of wasteful and completely unnecessary spending by Americans.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie need to stay the hell away from actual governance.

They'd rather burn the whole thing down by destroying corporations than give the economy a kickstart once this is over.

Ah a Libertarian, well at least you're being consistent. Just let all of America fall when we have the means to save it, and not just the least fortunate. That's a lot better than the corporate socialists, but still not a pleasant outcome. I'm sure you're pandemic proof for the next 12-18 months?

What kickstart? Bailout companies and hope they don't fire their employees, cut wages, pass around bonuses and buyback stocks after all is said and done? Meanwhile government gives two $1000 checks with means testing that will barely allow families to scrape by till the end of April?

Go to hell corporate socialist.
