“My oft-stated description of the Democrats’ MO: “The Democrats perpetrate bad stuff, then blame Republicans for what the Democrats themselves perpetrated.””
There seems to be a limited pubic tolerance for Democrat F-ups. The moderate GOP see their function as relieving the Democrats every 8 years to slow down the progressive slide. They don’t reverse any of it, of course.
Interestingly, those are probably occupations that mostly employ Democrats.
These governors enacted their orders to specifically harm the Trump base of support and funds....small business.
They are due to a deliberate policy of Democrat politicians to spread human suffering and human misery and to destroy the middle class.
True. The entire Democrat Party Cabal took full advantage of the CCP Wu-Flu (that magically invaded the U.S. in January of this Presidential election year) to make last-minute unconstitutional changes to election laws in swing-states, shut down the economy, spread gloom-and-doom 24/7 on fake-news MSM, etc. All with the goal of, as you rightly say, "spreading human suffering and human misery and to destroy the middle class." The Democrat Party loves this (because it believes demoralized Republican small-business owners will gravitate to the Democrat Party's promises of escalating wild spending and government handouts). Many naive Republican politicians also cluelessly approve of all of this (e.g., PA's Republican legislature happily voting for Dems' proposed 2019 law changes allowing fraud-susceptible mail-in balloting).
And what a "coincidence" that Corporate America has been financially "donating" to and gleefully promoting the Marxist Black Lives Matter (that torches and destroys small businesses nationwide) on their corporate websites. The CCP leaders really like that fact. It seems the "leaders" of the CCP, Republican Party, Corporate America, and Democrat Party all have the identical goal in mind: Destroying the U.S. middle class. (Haven't seen any reasonable explanations arguing otherwise.)
Where did you get that graphic?
Destroy small businesses so they can control what we purchase from Amazon (the future government partnered business) and including pharmaceutical purchases.
In addition people around me are shocked how much money they’ve saved not eating out, going to the cinema etc
So, our choice narrows further to just the mega-chains and big box stores in the future.
Glad your health is improving. So 'luxury' businesses are going away and you seem somewhat OK with that. Of course, people employed by those businesses now have no money to spend at "non luxury" businesses, that now due to their downward business trend, can't spend money at other businesses. And so on and so on.... But who cares? As long as everybody's healthy.
Some of these make sense, but some look sus. Look for example the difference between pediatricians vs urologists. Both are medical doctors, so why the difference. I expected a small bias, as women are over represented in pediatricians, but that doesn’t explain the major difference here.
That has always been the case. I have had many. Many docs tell me there patients have the glu and something must be wrong with my neg flu tes.
Restaurants are low wage, low skill, min. wage sweat shops. I know this from personal experience.
Yelp is not helping by letting businesses falsely get flagged as racist, hurting their reputation and even ability to function.
BLM NuLu has threatened to give Hispanic businesses bad reviews and flag them as racist if they don’t donate to BLM and hire more blacks.
