Trump is the only leader the US has right now. He is the only one thinking weeks and months ahead not 1 day at a time. We need to think beyond containing the Virus and make sure the US Economy survives it.
The number of critical cases is 5%. The total number of US Cases is about 85,000. total US population is about 331,000,.000. We cannot destroy the US, and the Worlds economy out of panic and fear.
There has to start being some rational thoughtful cost benefit analysis. This “fear” mindset we developed over the last few decades needs to be fixed. We throw ourselves into a panic and demand “Government Do SOMETHING” just about weekly over some “crisis” without ever thinking through the costs and problems the “solution” creates. This response to the Virus is the best example
People have to deal with the world as it is right now, not as they wish it would work. There is NOTHING any human can do to make you 100% safe. We need to stop thinking it can be made so.
The US Economy cannot be locked for months without triggering a 2nd Great Depression.
Corporations employ tend of millions of people. Corporations are everything from your local privately own gas station down the street to massive operations like Ford or Delta Airlines.
Corporations have debt they have to play just like people. For example, When they build a new store or plant, they borrow money to finance the capital expense. In addition, they do not usually pay cash for daily supply delivers. Those are purchased are made on credit with 15-30-45-60 days to make payment. All those debt payments still have to be made even thought the Government shut them down or put a lock down on their customers.
Here is an example. I work for a Food Manufacturing corporation that employs about 5,000 people nation wide. Due to the loss of business from the slow down, they just cut all Executive and Sr Management salaries 20%. If this goes one 2 more weeks, they will cut middle management salaries, if it goes on a month they have to cut all salaries. After that they start laying off worker bees like me and shutting down production lines. Why? Because they have to have the money to make their debt payments now and hope they can make it up to employees later.
We are lucky. We are considered an “Essential Business” so we are not shut down like the Airlines or the Car companies. The US, and the World, are on the brink of a financial crisis like nothing seen since the 1929.
Those credit bills have to be paid even if businesses are shut down by Government order. The people supplying them need to be paid so they can pay their creditor and so on and so on.
If they are not paid, this will trigger a cascading financial default on scale with what happened in 1929. We not talking about just crashing our economy here, we talking trashing the worlds economy if this is not addressed
The US has to be getting back to work in weeks, not months like the hysteric liars in the professional political class, and their shameless toadies in the Fake News, are trying to convince you.
Democrats are thinking as far ahead as November. Of course, November is the only month they can see...
Exactly. If you look at the actions of the Dem Governors who shut down their state they are looking at it 1 day at a time watching only the virus. They show no concern over the impact on the business community. As most have no business experience, they are acting like they can say "Today, I lift the mandated closure order and everyone can get back to work." They have no idea that owners/managers are having to look at budgets to see if they can afford to stay closed or go under, can everyone get re-hired, will they still have customers to sell their product or service to, etc.? You will never stop the spread of the virus, just like the flu, cold, etc. The longer this goes on, the more the average citizen suffers, the government bureaucrat remains unaffected.
Your post is very important because it shows how the economy works , how we can’t continue this shut down. You are a food manufacuter . What are these people thinking going along with this shutdown that food will magically be produced by people not working and appear in their house that that they will be ok if the economy collapses?
This is the news media’s plan to destroy the economy and the United States all to get one man. How many millions or billions worlwide will this economic collapse destroy and kill? Many millions if not billions of people.
Ann Banrnhardt says they are cooking the death numbers from this corona virus.
The people who died with only corona virus would be 1/100 th of the death toll. 99% of the corona virus deaths had other diseases like cancer,H1N1 flu etc.
So they couldn’t say it was the corona virus that caused the death but they are.It could have been the H1N1 flu that the deceased also had that caused the death but they are adding it to the corona virus death toll.
So the death rate and tolls are really much much lower than they are saying it is (lower than the flu). And they are destroying the USA and planet for some false statistics and to win the election , to get one man:
Ann Barnhardt explains it more and better why these death stats are extremely exaggerated:
