Apologists for the current state of US capitalism are fortunate the pandemic arrived when it did & persists for as long as it has. It has diverted attention away from weakening fundamentals in an economy that was visibly shrinking before it struck. It was a spindoctored economy.

The USA is in the poop bin and is only sinking deeper!

🤭

If only media and leadership would work together instead of all this bs....we have testing BOOM positive cases go up - WOW who’d a thunk it?...mortality rates are waaaaaay dooooon.....that’s really good news and should be front page....why are folks working to kill America?

More liberal scare tactics

How many Patriot Acts were there under the guise of a new exaggerated threat of terrorism This kind of market manipulation was coined and templated by Morgan over a hundred years ago

Mark and manipulation is so easy to do in plain sight when there's a pandemic going on Supposedly If you thought the media inflated the reality on the ground about the Y2K bug Surely a little bit of skepticism is called for about all this hoopla

Maybe another reason Trump canceled his golfing trip🤔 another tantrum or meltdown.

buy low. sell high.

Yes

Wall Street has no idea what's about to happen!

This is because of a few companies controling 24% of the index... that much consolodation of influence is not usually healthy for an economy.

So should I sell my Hertz and GNC calls?

“Worries about an economic slowdown”? We’re in an economic slowdown... also known as a recession

Good day to buy stonks

Hey why don’t you report that CDC says infections are 10x reported or 25M. So death rate is .5%, similar to pre-vaccine influenza. Stop the panic. factsoverfear FactsNotFear

The claim of 'greatest country on earth' is a joke.
