The 10 wealthiest billionaires DOUBLED their assets during the Covid pandemic.

Is that good or bad, or does it matter ?

World’s 10 richest men see their wealth double during Covid pandemic

Oxfam calls for windfall tax as 99% of world population takes a pay cut while top 10 incomes grow by $1bn a day

I guess it depends on how many good jobs they create.

It reeks of never ending variants....

Stupid people have been repeating the mantra "follow the science" Intelligent people say to follow the policies, instead.

This is the result of political policy and it is really quite deliberate. A person would have to be monumentally stupid and naive not to question why it was only small business that was the target of the shut downs.

They likely would have doubled their assets with or without a global pandemic. The top 10 people of any given category tend to be dedicated to their past successes being duplicated. Here's the formula: Past Success X Duplicated = Doubled past successes.

See how that works?

It's a sign of a failed economic policy.

Actually, no.

When the government kills small business quite deliberately, tells people to stay home and then gives everybody 2800 dollars to spend whether or not they were affected by this targeted policy, those who did not suffer from the policies took their windfall and spent it online instead of at local businesses. Jeff Bezos is the chief beneficiary of this redistribution of income away from small business.

It's the great reset in action.

Yet you are 100% in support of that policy since it was the democrat party that has been most forceful in implementing it.

You are just too stupid to be able to put two and two together and come up with four.

Doubling any amount of wealth in 2 years is a neat trick, but I'm sure there's no formula for it with billionaires except for having already rigged the system that got them there.

You are not wrong.

Bezos got richer because my wife keeps ordering shit from Amazon.

Musk got richer because my oldest son bought one of his cars.

Both parties fully supported it. I am against all of it.

Thanks for the link:

Governor DeSantis Issues Executive Order 2021-102​

Governor DeSantis has issued Executive Order 21-102, which suspends all remaining local emergency orders based on the COVID-19 Emergency, effective July 1, 2021 and shall be immediately filed with the Division Administrative Hearings.


Getting folks back to work was a key goal of the GOP Govs...not in places like NY and Cali though

and "DeWine said the stay-at-home order will start to be enforced Tuesday by local health departments and local law enforcement, and last for at least two weeks."

Who cares

The lockdown, mandate czars.

What’s the “obvious “?..

The Cares Act dumped 4 trillion into the economy, of course the rich will double up, that is how the bills were designed. Scraps for the masses, and massive amounts of money to the rich. The last time this happened it was TARP creating the obscene growth of wealth among the rich.

What is frustrating is people will continue to vote for those who give the rich their money and wealth growth.
