So people will focus on this, instead of the trillions being given to the rich.
The rich are getting trillions too? I didn't even hear about that. Can you send me a link?
Because permanently social distancing from 6-feet is the solution Trumpers demand. The Trump death cult is free to distance this way as long as they don't take anyone else down under with them.

Look at the stock market. The Fed Reserve is buying $billion in interest free bonds from mega companies like Apple to keep "liquidity" in the market. Apple, a companies worth over $1.5trillion with a cash hoard already is basically taking interest free cash because why not.
Nike lost $700million last quarter, yet the stock is just 7% below it's all-time high and at basically the same price it was in Jan./Feb. Does that seem normal to you?
So you think the tens of millions of people who out of work now are simply not applying for the tens of millions of open jobs or something?
We’re doomed regardless based on two candidates we have to lead our country for the next 4 years

People like you are the only reason so-called free market capitalism is the prevailing socio-economic system.
There are 600 to 650 billionaires in U.S. For so-called free market capitalism to thrive, the bottom 99.99% must not only compete against each other, bottom 99.99% must also dislike each other. For so-called free market capitalism to thrive, billionaires must never be disliked. In order for so-called free market capitalism to thrive, billionaires must be envied.
New rule: For every negative statement you make regarding poor people, you need to find a dozen awful and disgusting things to say about multi-millionaires and billionaires.

When you have 330 Million People and you narrow it down to the 2 best, with the winner being the absolute best out of 330 Million people, he will be extraordinarily good at what he does in any field

They're both very old, that's for sure. Lots of experience. One of them is very, very old.

It's called the biggest recession in the US since the Great Depression. Have a look outside your bubble some time.

You're only doomed if the incumbent is reelected.
Probably doomed either way. People can't work due to the partially closed economy. If they have zero money they'll be out on the street pretty soon. But Trump is jacking up the debt something fierce between his tax cuts and pandemic relief.
The Chinese forced us to adopt their bureaucratic, banking, and government system back when they conquered and enslaved most of Europe. Now it's run it's course. We should defund The Fed, Washington, and NY Banks. Not overnight. But over the next 10 years. Then replace it with our own models.

What? No. It depends how they're selected. You could select the worst, depending on your methods.

And that would be great, if that was even close to how our electoral process works
I don't even understand why we need one. The unemployment rate is 11%, it's typically around 3.5-4% the past couple of years. So typically 1 out of 25 is unemployed, now it's 1 out of 9. But isn't the government already paying unemployment? And they were paying out an extra $600 per week? That's an outrageous amount. And most people are working normal hours anyway. So why are we giving 90% of the population government checks (About 10% of the population makes more than the amount eligible to receive the stimulus check)? It needs to stop.
