This Talk About Unemployment is Sort of Pointless

We support Donald Trump claiming that he’s going to fix the economy.

But let’s be real here: the best that anyone can hope for after this coronavirus hoax is that we are able to slowly slide into total poverty, rather than drop off a cliff into total poverty.

The economy was totally gutted, and fixing it just isn’t really something that is on the table. As small businesses have disappeared, the money has all been sucked out, as if with a vacuum, by the ruling elite oligarchs.

Thus far, the “slow slide” seems to be working.

AP:

The government will provide its latest picture Thursday of the pace of job cuts in the United States, which remain elevated with the viral pandemic still impeding the economy seven months after it first erupted.

The still-high number of people seeking jobless benefits reflects an economy that has recovered only slightly more than half the 22 million jobs that were lost to the pandemic. Many Americans are enduring unemployment with vastly diminished aid since a $600-a-week federal benefit expired this summer.

The latest weekly report on jobless claims coincides with fading prospects for a new federal rescue aid package that economists say is urgently needed for unemployed workers and struggling businesses, states and cities. Congress remains at an impasse.

The only reason anyone is still employed is that the government printed all this money.

Obviously, Trump is going to do a better job of managing this crap than Biden would. So, fingers crossed on that.

But understand: the country you knew is gone forever.

They are going to keep talking about “oh well, a few million jobs here, some there, okay, so, aid package, thusly, therefore, etc.” But that isn’t real life.

Real life is that they have printed trillions of dollars to keep the economy afloat, at the same time that the ability to move money around has been drained from the country by the collapse of the concept of the small business.

So, we hope for the slow slide.

Just stay off of drugs, kids.
