Saddest part is that when Biden has to put together some massive stimulus with business bail-outs, the feeble-brained and shortsighted Trumpers will fail to recognize that Trump's bungling in handling the pandemic played a large part in creating the need for the bail-outs, so they'll all cry foul thinking their unfounded fears of a socialist takeover are becoming reality. Which, of course, in their thick skulls will serve to justify their misguided support for Trump.

Biden is in a no-win situation with these morons. If the economy continues to collapse under covid, it's "See? He was the wrong man for the job!" And if he spends tons of money trying to get the nation back on track, enacting measures to curb the spread of the virus, whether he succeeds or not they'll still rage about the "radical leftist socialist cabal infringing on" their rights.

Friendly reminder that if any conservative was to make such "colorful" remarks against leftists, our very unbiased mods would already have moderated them.

A large number of the small business relief loans were given to not-quite-giant but still really big companies like Walmart

Walmart is NOT small business

They gave loans to billion dollar NBA teams and fucking churches while small business floundered lol

Trump mismanages everything he touches which is why he's been bankrupted 10 times but he still has the support of millions of idiots so

Damn it's almost like the disease control experts were right about containing the disease and we should have just locked down completely for like six weeks and instead we focused way too much on crybabies whining about "civil liberties" and not wanting to hurt the economy too much and now 9 months later we're even worse off both in most respects.

Who woulda thunk

Probably because the countries around them weren't following the same regulations and as soon as they opened back up slightly they were re infected? And places like New Zealand which actually enforced strict lockdowns in isolation did in fact effectively kill the virus? Maybe try using your brain and think logically for a second? Or are you one of those "don't tread on me" types who thinks being forced to wear a mask is the equivalent of slavery and the state of the world is irrelevant as long as we're all 100% free to be dead in it

Someone isn't using their brain here and its not me. You think you can effectively coordinate a world wide lockdown. Get real. Also, you belong in China

We're already owned by China. No reason to change location.
A world lockdown could happen and be effective if people, similar to trump lovers, all over the world could get on board. Most have their head up someone's butt (so as to pass off responsibility) but I'm sure they could be convinced somehow, just not with science clearly.

Those retail stores had 15 years to develop online shopping, and had the capital and means to do so.

The ones on this list were already facing bankruptcy well before the pandemic

The only place you can find JCPenny or Macy's is inside a mall and they're literal ghost towns now

You're claiming it's impossible to coordinate a worldwide lockdown / virus containment while simultaneously maintaining that weird absolute anti-authority angle and apparently can't see the difference between containment efforts to save lives and genuine authoritarianism. The reason lockdown attempts are failing is precisely because of people like you.

screw these guys. even without covid, the majority of these retail places outright refused to stay competitive with online prices. you'd go in and always buy items at a stupid mark-up, that would even make wealthy people second-guess why they were buying there. it's stupid, and now they wonder why they're even deeper in the hole with covid. fuck these places. they never learned to adapt, and now they're feeling an accelerated death. rest in peace, ok?

Meanwhile Amazon earns billions. If this wasnt manufactured, they know what to do in the future if they ever feel like they need just that much more. Rather than buying the smaller companies/corporations, theyll just put them out of business and fill the void with their own products.

I know. Its almost like they dont have to compete with prices at a store with no employees or something.

Oh please. They've only ever been interested in locking down the middle class. Places like Walmart have had little to no restrictions this entire time. Meanwhile, they don't want you getting a haircut or going out to eat... or even meeting up for Thanksgiving. Fuck these people. Our own government are essentially putting economic sanctions on us and what will be left in the end is Amazon. We're being ruled by corporations

Any leftist forum. I mean, did you not see this place, Reddit, and Twitter for the last 4 years?

The only requirement is that I pretend to be a good person with "good" values while at the same time acting even worse than the very people I lose my mind about on an hourly basis.
