The largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world...

[Slade3200]

That few know about, thanks to a billionaire/government controlled corporate media.

Are not the following words depressingly true?

The Institute for Policy Studies has just released a new analysis showing that since the start of the Covid-19 “pandemic” in mid-March and the subsequent transfer upwards of $5 trillion to the wealthy and largest corporations through the Cares Act, approved 96-0 in the U.S. Senate, 650 U.S. billionaires have gained over a trillion dollars in eight months as the America people have suffered an economic catastrophe. This shift upward of massive wealth under Trump is similar to Obama’s massive 2009 bailout of the banks on the backs of American workers. Both were justified through feats of legerdemain by both political parties, accomplices in the fleecing of regular people, many of whom continue to support the politicians that screw them while telling them they care.

If the Democrats and the Republicans are at war as is often claimed, it is only over who gets the larger part of the spoils. Trump and Biden work for the same bosses, those I call the Umbrella People (those who own and run the country through their intelligence/military/media operatives), who produce and direct the movie that keeps so many Americans on the edge of their seats in the hope that their chosen good guy wins in the end.

"transfer of wealth"
That's such a neat catch phrase....it always seems to get the beggars among us worked up into a begging frenzy.
I'm still confused by this "transfer" and how it all works.
Explain a little further in your own words would you please....Are you saying wealthy positive contributors were somehow stealing from ShaQuita and Guadalupe who have an effective tax rate of zero? How were these wealthy positive contributors "transferring wealth" from the empty bank accounts of ShaQuita and Guadalupe?
Explain this so we have a better understanding...maybe we can level with you if you can better inform us dummies.
Thank in advance.

You really don’t understand what transfer of wealth means?? Come on BL step up your game. It’s not a hard concept when you a majority portion of the currency circulating through our economy ending up in the hands of a very small percentage of people and corporations. You don’t like socialism right? Well this should be on your radar because corporate socialism is a real thing and those who own the wealth also possess the power

No offense bud but one must have a beggars mentality to understand this “transfer” bullshit concocted by...well...BEGGARS. I thank God I can’t.
Third graders know the organic flow of cash in a capiltalist society runs straight to the bank accounts of our most intelligent, most innovative, most productive, most ambitious, most driven...this is no secret to anyone even half sane.
Theres just no way to flow the cash backwards towards your cherished bottom feeders, it simply doesn’t and can’t work that way. Never has, never will.

Beggars mentality??? No dude. It just takes basic intelligence and comprehension skills. This isn’t political, it just numbers. Flow and ownership of currency. It’s not very hard to grasp if you try.

You just refuse to get it...there is no TRANSFER....the currency was never held by your cherished bottom feeders...how can one TRANSFER something they never had possession of?

Let’s use a real live example. Stimulus checks. The $1200 that was sent out during the beginning of COVID. The bottom feeders as you like to call them got these checks, totaling about $300 Billion. Now a few months later where do you think is holding most of that $300 Billion? Be honest and direct, the answer is pretty easy

Beggars mentality??? No dude. It just takes basic intelligence and comprehension skills. This isn’t political, it just numbers. Flow and ownership of currency. It’s not very hard to grasp if you try.

That flow of currency is optional. We are more than happy to give the rich our money in exchange for what they have to offer. Nobody is forced to hand it over to them.

I never said it was force... although paying for food and rent are pretty much necessities to live, but that’s besides the point

 

[Slade3200]

This fact seems arbitrary/meaningless. There is nothing nefarious at all about it...it's a happenstance of what would happen in a pandemic...based merely on the circumstances.

Do you see any nefarious motives in US capitalism?

In parts of Europe, unemployed workers/owners were compensated with 80% of their income as automatically as this government bails out Wall Street and the richest one percent of investors.

The Past Lives On: The Elite Strategy To Divide and Conquer – Edward Curtin

"The truth is that both the Trump voters and the Biden voters have been taken for a ride.

"It is a game, a show, a movie, a spectacle.

"It hasn’t changed much since 1969; the rich have gotten richer and the poor, working, and middle classes have gotten poorer and more desperate.

"Those who have profited have embraced the fraud.

"The Institute for Policy Studies has just released a new analysis showing that since the start of the Covid-19 'pandemic' in mid-March and the subsequent transfer upwards of $5 trillion to the wealthy and largest corporations through the Cares Act, approved 96-0 in the U.S. Senate, 650 U.S. billionaires have gained over a trillion dollars in eight months as the American people have suffered an economic catastrophe."

If it's true that 650 millionaires have gained over a trillion$ in the same eight months that the American people have suffered an economic collapse, does the sound like a coincidence?

I sometimes wonder if the ultra wealthy elite understand where this leads. They are forcing millions of Americans into desperation. This likely leads to violence and they might be the target.

Or, could it be they want violence and revolution? Then they control it to their benefit.

Being conspiracy-minded is a disservice to yourself and anyone who would value your thoughts. Occam's razor is typically the easiest way to see yourself out of that culty mindset, but there's studies that show there's actual brain-states/mind-types predisposed to see a conspiracy/grand design underneath every rock whereas, in reality, the truth is rather boring.

What conspiracy are you referring to?

That the transfer of wealth as a happenstance of the pandemic was planned as opposed to the way the cookie crumbles due to merely boring logistics.

Not so much planned as simply baked into the way our system operates

 

[gipper]

You missed the point.

Illegal labor has become integral to an effective economy. Without them, our economy will contract. They often do the difficult hard jobs that our nation needs doing.

Trump has done more to stop illegal immigration than the last four administrations combined. Our economy continued to grow, not contract.

I don’t believe that is correct. Do you have any proof?

“Struggling illiterate, unmotivated, complacent weed smoking Gustavo and ShaQuita paid their rent and TRANSFERRED some of their wealth to that greedy intelligent, innovative, productive, ambitious, driven investor / landlord.”

 

[sealybobo]

Yea yea yea that’s what republicans say when illegal employers are mentioned.

I doubt youd even care about illegals if they weren’t taking jobs Americans would do.

In fact, no one cares when the economy is booming. Then we need the workers. I’m not saying McCain was completely wrong when he said corporations can’t find enough good help. American kids are lazy.

But I don’t want them to be illegal workers. I want them documented, paying taxes, etc.

Wrong. We do care about illegals. Trump won his first term on that issue. It's you on the left who are wanting them in this country so badly and we on the right that's fighting against it. I don't want them documented and I don't want them living here for any reason. Biden said his first day in office will be the last day of wall construction.

Corporations and wealthy people are not all Republicans. In fact the wealthiest people in our country are Democrats.

When illegals do get here, Democrats cater to them to make their stay more inviting, and perhaps tell their family and friends about it: Sanctuary cities and states, Democrat Mayors alerting those businesses and illegals when ICE plans on doing workplace raids, not turning them over to ICE after they get arrested only to leave the local jail to kill an American, they send their children to our schools, they get on social programs for their kids, Democrats provide them with drivers licenses, just a whole host of goodies for them to come here.

Illegals come here to help raise the family of working illegals. They come here to have kids so they'd be American babies. Birther Tourism is an industry. They come here to be an arm of the Mexican drug lords. In fact most of our heroin comes from that southern border.

True. My brother and wife voted for biden and they hire illegals.

Im just telling you if you really want to solve the problem go back to when Clinton was raiding and punishing corporations who were knowingly hiring illegals. We used to go after them.

But I’ll be honest. Clinton didn’t make a dent. Because since Reagan corporations stopped fearing getting Caught. The rewards were worth the risk. Reagan sold you out. Bush invented nafta. Yes bill signed it. They would have signed it too had bush not lost.

 

[sealybobo]

No I don’t. But I know sanctuary cities is just a Distraction to con you. You complain about sanctuary cities but the only reason they are here are the sanctuary corporations that lure them here

There are 20 million illegals in this country or more. I seriously doubt all 20 million have jobs, especially today. They come here for a variety of reasons.

It said there are 8 million illegal workers in the USA


They make beds in inns across the country. They pick oranges in Florida, strawberries in California and vegetables in Ohio. And they have built new subdivisions in Phoenix, Atlanta and Charlotte.

For years, policymakers have talked about shutting off the influx of undocumented workers. But the economy has grown to rely on them.

Ending illegal immigration, say many of those who have studied the issue, could mean that American workers would lose their jobs, companies would close and the economy would contract.

In recent years, though, border security has tightened considerably, a strong economy has driven down unemployment, and many employers, particularly those offering low-paid jobs, say there are few alternatives to hiring workers without legal documents.



In a poll Cornell conducted in 2017, we asked New Yorkers, "How do you believe undocumented farmworkers impact local communities?"

About 75 percent of those we polled said they have "generally positive impacts," up from 62 percent in 2008. Of those who had a positive impression, most said it was because migrants fill jobs unwanted by citizens or provide essential farm help and keep prices low.

And national polling backs this up. A 2016 Pew poll found that 76 percent believe undocumented immigrants are as honest and hard-working as U.S. citizens, while 71 percent said they mostly fill jobs that Americans aren't willing to do.

These U.S. industries can't work without illegal immigrants

Some 8 million undocumented workers pick American fruit, construct American buildings, raise American babies – and pay American taxes

Pay attention ladies and gentlemen...just like they did in the 1800’s, the Demcrats tell us, ‘the United States NEEDS slaves’ to exist.
The Hate America Left..... sealybobo and gipper have zero confidence in Americans, they tell us America can’t prosper without slaves, without illiterate, desperate thirdworlders breaking in to our country against the will of the people.
That’s where we’re at folks. This is why good, real core Americans want to see the Left gassed in concentration camps.

It was John McCain who said it.

LIES!
There’s 10 million of these human cockroaches in Mexifornia alone.

Yale Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates

New research suggests that the population of undocumented immigrants in the United States may be 22 million, nearly twice what has been believed.

insights.som.yale.edu

Yea but didn’t ray say not all of them are working?

If you say there are ten million illegals here and I say there are 8 million illegal workers that would mean 2 million are on welfare. Or just not working a traditional job where you pay taxes. Like a drug dealer.

I think ou numbers look right.

Of course the bailout of the banks was tarp under George w bush and the GOP who caused the great recession with their usual corrupt deregulation bubble and bust. Great job! Obama stimulus was for main Street and worked great except it was probably too small. Little did they know they would be up against total ridiculous GOP obstruction for 8 years.... Change the channel

The blind partisan.

The only two parties in power since before the 1900s have been Republicans and Democrats. They have both written and passed laws that have hurt the American workers, yet partisans are still blind and unwilling to admit their party is 50% responsible, this attitude just leads to the problem getting worse.

Exactly right. These damn fool partisans are the reason why have had corrupt people in power. Yet they are too feeble minded to recognize this.

Try the real world sometime. the only people in prison for governmental corruption are Republicans. All your phony scandals against Democrats are pure balderdash. All of them!

You are nothing but a big joke. To think the Rs are solely responsible, is utterly mad.

Ears was a continuation of W. We got Don because Ears sucked so bad. No one expected the black guy to be only for the rich, while committing mass murder in numerous MIC demanded wars.

And that was after he was paid $1 million for a Nobel peace prize before he did anything, which he failed to do anyway. What a ******* scam.

Everything that's happening right now is the MIC trying to wrestle back power.

The world was so happy to not have to deal with George w idiot bush . The same thing will probably happen with Biden. The world cannot believe what idiots and scumbags the GOP are....

Then the world got Ears, who turned out to be W’s blood brother from a different mother.

Absolute baloney. He didn't start any wars like w period a war you have to have people on the ground at least for crying out loud. Absolutely no casualties. Absolutely totally different on policy. People who vote for the greedy idiot megarich GOP over Democrats have absolutely no clue. Like you.

US Billionaires Surpass $1 Trillion in Wealth Gains During Pandemic as Essential Workers and Others Suffer
The total wealth gain of America’s billionaires has surpassed the $1 trillion mark, a 34 Percent rise since mid-March, the approximate start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). With the close of the markets on November 24, 2020, US...

Brain surgeons and ER doctors absolutely KILL IT while burger flippers and baristas do not.

I'm failing to see the "wealth transfer".....please enlighten us.
Are you trying to say you don't think people should be responsible for choosing their own career paths and the financial status comes with said paths?
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...teach us.

If your system that you call capitalism is failing the masses and only benefiting the top 1% maybe it's just another ISM.

"Failing" is subjective.
How is capitalism "FAILING" the masses?
Isn't Democrat policy "failing the masses"....aren't you begging illegals to invade, hold wages down, steal American jobs and ruin blue collar trades?
Are core Americans fleeing to countries that have it so much better?
Why are the worlds most desperate still trying to break in to our country?

Aren’t you ignoring our real problem? Illegal employers? Why do you defend them?

In fact deep into trumps presidency he himself was an illegal employer at Mara lago. He had to it was making him look bad. He didn’t want to, he had to.

you’re being played going after illegals and trying to build walls you know won’t work.

Youre being played.

Illegal employers are definitely a problem...We should hang every one of them in public...BUT, inclusive, tolerant FEELZ based LefTards cry like a ***** when iCE raids businesses...remember?
Here in Mexifornia, the ******* capital of America, millions of illegals work for legal cousin Gustavo or brother in law Miguel off the books at their tire shop or tree trimming enterprise.
Admit it, your tard buddies do not want illegal immigration solved...they know it has led to electoral Dem ownership of Mexifornia, NM, AZ, NV and eventually Texas. You're being played.

You raided the business and didn’t do anything to the businesses. You accepted their excuse that they were given fake documents. They knew they were illegals.

Illegals don’t vote. Doesn’t help us electorally.

"You raided the business and didn’t do anything to the businesses. You accepted their excuse that they were given fake documents. They knew they were illegals."
Mexicrats wrote policy which prohibits employers from digging too deep on the status of perspective employees...remember?

"Illegals don’t vote. Doesn’t help us electorally."
Oh you one of those 'play stupid' types?
Here you go...free enlightenment......ILLEGAL WETBACKS = LITTERS OF FREE SHIT BEGGING DEM VOTING ANCHOR BABIES
TA-DA....what else can I teach you?

Yet the 2010 Democratic immigration bill started out with an ID card like the Democrats are always trying to pass. GOP loves harassing illegals but they will never do anything to actually stop them . The wall is a ridiculous idiotic incredibly expensive boondoggle. They love the cheap easily bullied labor.

If we’re being honest, we probably need them to join our labor force. We’re not having enough kids. And Europeans don’t want to come to America anymore. That’s why we import Arabs And Mexicans.

Personally, I wish we would lower our populaction. I wish all countries would.

I say if they are already here make them legal. But they got to pay a $5000 fine.

And we will make note of where you were employed all these years. Then crack down on those companies like Tyson chicken or that Republica owned farm who employed that illegal who killed mollie tibbetts. Republicans talk about sanctuary cities but they ignore the red state employers who hire a lot of illegals and screw goober over on a job.

Nonsense. Once republicans stop catering to whites, christians, racists Sexists and homophobes you’ll See blacks, muslims, Hispanics, gays and women are more conservative than you think.

Republicans just need to change the message. If trump wasn’t such a racist asshol he probably would have won.

Remember one of the first dickhead moves he made when he took over was to discriminate against gays in the military. Remember that? Trump chose to be a combative person with all the demographics.

So what racist thing did Trump actually say? I suggest you look up the word "racist" before answering. Trump never said I don't want to send my child to a racial jungle. Trump never said poor kids can be just as bright as white kids. Trump never said they want to put you all back in chains. Trump never said you have to speak Indian to go to a 7-11. Trump never said the first black president was articulate and clean. That was Biden who said those things.

Face facts. Every other group of people outside of whites vote a majority Democrat. The only way to obtain total power over this country is to get rid of whites as a majority. It's been there plan for some time now. As for women and minorities, under Trump, they had the lowest unemployment since we began to keep records.

Thanks Obama. that was Trump's major achievement not screwing up the Obama recovery. Then he did.

O didn’t start any wars???? WTF man! You are a big joke.

He did? What wars?

LMFAO. You must get all your news from Joe and Mika.

How has trump deal with these wars?

Funny for years you cons insisted Vietnam nam wasn’t a war now you say we have a war going on in Yemen or Jordan or Syria or Libya?

Lol. I’m not con fool. I’ve criticized Dumb Don biggly. You are stuck in the two party duopoly matrix.

Libertarians are the worst kinds of republicans. Just a slightly different spin or con. No thanks.

Isn't Democrat policy "failing the masses"....aren't you begging illegals to invade, hold wages down, steal American jobs and ruin blue collar trades?
Are core Americans fleeing to countries that have it so much better?
Why are the worlds most desperate still trying to break in to our country?

Aren’t you ignoring our real problem? Illegal employers? Why do you defend them?

In fact deep into trumps presidency he himself was an illegal employer at Mara lago. He had to it was making him look bad. He didn’t want to, he had to.

you’re being played going after illegals and trying to build walls you know won’t work.

Youre being played.

Illegal employers are definitely a problem...We should hang every one of them in public...BUT, inclusive, tolerant FEELZ based LefTards cry like a ***** when iCE raids businesses...remember?
Here in Mexifornia, the ******* capital of America, millions of illegals work for legal cousin Gustavo or brother in law Miguel off the books at their tire shop or tree trimming enterprise.
Admit it, your tard buddies do not want illegal immigration solved...they know it has led to electoral Dem ownership of Mexifornia, NM, AZ, NV and eventually Texas. You're being played.

You raided the business and didn’t do anything to the businesses. You accepted their excuse that they were given fake documents. They knew they were illegals.

Illegals don’t vote. Doesn’t help us electorally.

"You raided the business and didn’t do anything to the businesses. You accepted their excuse that they were given fake documents. They knew they were illegals."
Mexicrats wrote policy which prohibits employers from digging too deep on the status of perspective employees...remember?

"Illegals don’t vote. Doesn’t help us electorally."
Oh you one of those 'play stupid' types?
Here you go...free enlightenment......ILLEGAL WETBACKS = LITTERS OF FREE SHIT BEGGING DEM VOTING ANCHOR BABIES
TA-DA....what else can I teach you?

Yet the 2010 Democratic immigration bill started out with an ID card like the Democrats are always trying to pass. GOP loves harassing illegals but they will never do anything to actually stop them . The wall is a ridiculous idiotic incredibly expensive boondoggle. They love the cheap easily bullied labor.

If we’re being honest, we probably need them to join our labor force. We’re not having enough kids. And Europeans don’t want to come to America anymore. That’s why we import Arabs And Mexicans.

Personally, I wish we would lower our populaction. I wish all countries would.

I say if they are already here make them legal. But they got to pay a $5000 fine.

And we will make note of where you were employed all these years. Then crack down on those companies like Tyson chicken or that Republica owned farm who employed that illegal who killed mollie tibbetts. Republicans talk about sanctuary cities but they ignore the red state employers who hire a lot of illegals and screw goober over on a job.

Nonsense. Once republicans stop catering to whites, christians, racists Sexists and homophobes you’ll See blacks, muslims, Hispanics, gays and women are more conservative than you think.

Republicans just need to change the message. If trump wasn’t such a racist asshol he probably would have won.

Remember one of the first dickhead moves he made when he took over was to discriminate against gays in the military. Remember that? Trump chose to be a combative person with all the demographics.

So what racist thing did Trump actually say? I suggest you look up the word "racist" before answering. Trump never said I don't want to send my child to a racial jungle. Trump never said poor kids can be just as bright as white kids. Trump never said they want to put you all back in chains. Trump never said you have to speak Indian to go to a 7-11. Trump never said the first black president was articulate and clean. That was Biden who said those things.

Face facts. Every other group of people outside of whites vote a majority Democrat. The only way to obtain total power over this country is to get rid of whites as a majority. It's been there plan for some time now. As for women and minorities, under Trump, they had the lowest unemployment since we began to keep records.

Thanks Obama. that was Trump's major achievement not screwing up the Obama recovery. Then he did.

O didn’t start any wars???? WTF man! You are a big joke.

He did? What wars?

LMFAO. You must get all your news from Joe and Mika.

How has trump deal with these wars?

Funny for years you cons insisted Vietnam nam wasn’t a war now you say we have a war going on in Yemen or Jordan or Syria or Libya?

Lol. I’m not con fool. I’ve criticized Dumb Don biggly. You are stuck in the two party duopoly matrix.

Libertarians are the worst kinds of republicans. Just a slightly different spin or con. No thanks.

Fool.

Let’s use a real live example. Stimulus checks. The $1200 that was sent out during the beginning of COVID. The bottom feeders as you like to call them got these checks, totaling about $300 Billion. Now a few months later where do you think is holding most of that $300 Billion? Be honest and direct, the answer is pretty easy

Anyone providing useful goods and services at competitive prices.

True. My brother and wife voted for biden and they hire illegals.

Im just telling you if you really want to solve the problem go back to when Clinton was raiding and punishing corporations who were knowingly hiring illegals. We used to go after them.

But I’ll be honest. Clinton didn’t make a dent. Because since Reagan corporations stopped fearing getting Caught. The rewards were worth the risk. Reagan sold you out. Bush invented nafta. Yes bill signed it. They would have signed it too had bush not lost.

We do go after illegals and there is only so much you can do. To convict an employer of hiring illegals, you also have to prove he or she knew they were illegal when they were hired. How do you do that when fake ID's are a big business here and across the southern border? They are almost foolproof. Then you have liberal judges that are another problem:

www.judicialwatch.org

So we put our employers in a damned if you do, and damned if you don't situation.

I have the solution, the problem is finding enough representatives with the balls to do it. You make being here illegally a felony. First offense getting caught here is a minimum of five years in prison--that's minimum, a judge can give you up to ten. If you come back after you serve your sentence and are deported, it's a ten year minimum sentence. We give illegals until March 1st to be out of this country.

It may not get rid of every single one, but I guarantee you at least 98% will self-deport, and we wouldn't need a wall.

Bad idea. Yea, let’s pay $30,000 a year to house feed and give them medical. So each 5 years will cost us $150,000.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

I don’t believe that is correct. Do you have any proof?

Of course I do. Trump told Mexico if they allow people to cross their country from other countries to get to ours, we will totally cutoff their foreign aid. They lined their southern border with Mexican military, and those people are not like our military. They will shoot to kill. For those that are able to somehow sneak around them, Trump restructured our asylum policy. If you want to apply for asylum, you must do it at a US embassy in your own country. Also is the rider that if that couldn't be done, and you do make it to our border, your asylum application will be immediately rejected IF you were offered asylum anywhere else along the way and refused it.

He also told our agencies if they suspect any female of being pregnant, reject their Visa application.

We pay billions every year to have them here now, not to mention the damage they do to American workers. The idea of a harsh penalty is to prevent people from breaking our laws, just like we do to our criminals here. No matter where you came or come from, as much of a shithole as your country is, it beats the hell out of losing your freedom to sit and rot in an American prison for several years.

I think that if we created such a law, most illegal people here would move back to where they came from, and it will stop most thinking of coming here. America may be great, but it isn't worth losing 5 or more years of your life to be here.

Then we need to put them to work. I’m against for profit prisons for American citizens because I think it can be abused but I don’t care if illegals get put in a prison where inmates are put to work for profit. That way we don’t pay for them. The prison actually makes money on them so we don’t have to pay.

This fact seems arbitrary/meaningless. There is nothing nefarious at all about it...it's a happenstance of what would happen in a pandemic...based merely on the circumstances.

Do you see any nefarious motives in US capitalism?

In parts of Europe, unemployed workers/owners were compensated with 80% of their income as automatically as this government bails out Wall Street and the richest one percent of investors.

The Past Lives On: The Elite Strategy To Divide and Conquer – Edward Curtin

"The truth is that both the Trump voters and the Biden voters have been taken for a ride.

"It is a game, a show, a movie, a spectacle.

"It hasn’t changed much since 1969; the rich have gotten richer and the poor, working, and middle classes have gotten poorer and more desperate.

"Those who have profited have embraced the fraud.

"The Institute for Policy Studies has just released a new analysis showing that since the start of the Covid-19 'pandemic' in mid-March and the subsequent transfer upwards of $5 trillion to the wealthy and largest corporations through the Cares Act, approved 96-0 in the U.S. Senate, 650 U.S. billionaires have gained over a trillion dollars in eight months as the American people have suffered an economic catastrophe."

If it's true that 650 millionaires have gained over a trillion$ in the same eight months that the American people have suffered an economic collapse, does the sound like a coincidence?

I sometimes wonder if the ultra wealthy elite understand where this leads. They are forcing millions of Americans into desperation. This likely leads to violence and they might be the target.

Or, could it be they want violence and revolution? Then they control it to their benefit.

Being conspiracy-minded is a disservice to yourself and anyone who would value your thoughts. Occam's razor is typically the easiest way to see yourself out of that culty mindset, but there's studies that show there's actual brain-states/mind-types predisposed to see a conspiracy/grand design underneath every rock whereas, in reality, the truth is rather boring.

What conspiracy are you referring to?

That the transfer of wealth as a happenstance of the pandemic was planned as opposed to the way the cookie crumbles due to merely boring logistics.

Not so much planned as simply baked into the way our system works

Yes, exactly. & it's gotten us to the point of scientific advancement that we're at which I'm grateful for - - - each and every day.

So has government spending but that’s no excuse to not continuously monitor and analyze to make sure we are on a responsible path. Economic changes don’t happen over night
