I see you’re repeating yourself again.

Do you preview before you post?

And yet the government parasites are still getting a paid vacation thanks to all of us taxpayers. Example: Commercial air traffic is down almost 90%. Has the TSA laid off even 1 person?

May 2020 be the watershed year when good Americans learn, really learn, how terribly bad Democrats truly are.

Our country is under massive Satanic attack right now-

1: Massive financial collapse because of shutdowns

2: Massive dictatorship rules and regulations that actually endanger people, not protect them-

3: Racial riots all over the country, black people, and white anarchists, rejecting police order- and taking laws into their own hands- attacking city after city after city-

We are suffering a triple whammy here- when the nation is most vulnerable- Soros and/or ilk saw the vulnerabilities, and they attacked- and are organizing lawlessness and destruction all over the country- it remains to be seen how far they will take this- but we are definitely witnessing, at least a temporary breakdown of societal order-

Stan is attacking right now- on several fronts- trying to rip this country apart- because we were a nation that God has blessed in the past- (and hopefully will continue blessing- according to His will)

May God expose the godless agitators, and bring them to justice swiftly-

No one knows how many of those self-employed small-business people are among the 40 million Americans who were thrown out of work overnight 10 weeks ago

Actuall we know EXACTLY how many are included in this 40 Million, ZERO!!

Employers and Business Owners like myself DO NOT SHOW UP IN ANY EMPLOYMENT STATISTICS EVER!! We Do NOT Exist on Paper.

TSA probably will hire more people. When the Democrats pass the green new deal, now almost inevitable amid the decimation of the private sector and termination of large portions thereof, that includes a government jobs guarantee. Taxes will rise well in excess of 90%, probably 25% higher penalties for recalcitrant private enterprise with an exclusion for a few politically correct firms that provide luxuriant bribes to politicians. The American economy is vanishing.

And just see it in the streets last night: Communist-Americans held massive coordinated all-night high-energy Biden rallies, and thousands of small businesses vanished in the smoke and fire and broken glass, most never to return, livelihoods destroyed. Millions of intelligent black Americans incidentally are trying to defend the vestiges of their businesses and plant to vote for Trump if the Biden rallies in their neighborhoods don’t kill them first.

Forty million unemployed Americans is a quarter of the entire economy, terminated forevermore already. Much more disastrous economic collapse will unfold in the coming 23 weeks before Election Day. The anarcho-Communist Biden rallies are also killing Americans, destroying businesses, impoverishing neighborhoods, and contributing to the demise of the semi-functional vestige of the once-mighty American economy. Just 13 weeks ago, we had the greatest economy in the history of the world. It will lie in smoldering ruins before election day. Under oppressive confiscatory taxation to repay the debt, we can rebuild slowly our economy IF we unite to that end. Instead, we probably will get an incipient bloody civil war, millions more dead Americans (in addition to the sixty million already dead in abortions), and the transformation of the leader and breadbasket of the free world into a famished, totalitarian Communist hellscape. The election this November will determine whether a vestige of partial freedom can survive for a few more years in some of the remoter portions of America.

You are so right on here. We are on a steep decline. Thankful I am aged.

On a municipal level this has been going on as well (in NJ, municipal taxes are by far most peoples’ largest tax burden). We’ve had schools operating at half days for months, no public works - and no layoffs/furloughs or even reductions in pay.

These policies prevented any recovery here after the 2007/2008 crash, and this Red Chinese virus will just drive more jobs and productive workers out of the area.

Not a single school/town/department cut heads or reduced costs or even did a 10 percent pay reduction across the board

My town raised taxes 4%

corruption isn’t cheap

And you will see the AGE/HEALTH discrimination. My eldest is nearing 50, Type 2 Diabetes, been a manager for 20 yrs, leaves the businesses better than when he was hired will have a real hard time finding a job, NO DEGREE. 10 weeks NO UE check. Next month he won’t have rent money. I live on SS had to let him have food money for him and grandson, who missed graduating HS by 3 weeks. So NO Tech School until he retakes 2 classes, IF his school re-opens.

Nashville is getting a 32% property tax hike, Dem Mayor.

We are watching our society collapse. This is isn’t stopping anytime soon.
If this isn’t a call to spiritual warfare I don’t know what will be.
But I don’t know what to do.

That’s an especially negative forecast. Me thinks the author needs to recall the “back bone” of the real american people. When WV opened up about 2 weeks ago, I made my daily walk downtown to the P.O. It’s a small town with one Main Street made up of small local businesses, so I checked to see who opened. Well, all of them did and one new one has opened. If they hold on until the third week in Sept.they will remain open...IF the Mothman Festival takes place. Our town depends on tourism and the Mothman is the biggest attraction in WV outside of the Ski lodges (10K for a weekend). Our people are hardy and stubborn, and not used to “high” living. They will survive. They always have.

In my four business building one will probably close for good. I have, with the approval of the other tennets, agreed to forgive his rent for the time he has been forced to be closed but rent not his main expense.

I feel very bad for the young man.

An MSNBC business reporter I heard being interviewed on the radio predicted that 100,000 small businesses across the country will file for bankruptcy and never come back.

That seems light to me.
