It's NOT the Coronovirus that is causing the market meltdown. It's incompetence!
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213023229
It's incompetence and the economic actions that Donnie Shit for Brains and Retrumplicans have put in place in the past 3 years.
They fired the folks responsible for planning and coordinating the national response to pandemics.
They drastically cut funding for CDC folks that actually work in foreign countries where you can respond at the source.
They rolled back critical safety and public health regulations.
They passed a massive tax giveaway to the very wealthy, depleting funds that would be needed to respond to a crisis.
Their economic moves have propped up an unsustainable market, because they only measure success through the Dow.
Ask the average American worker. The stock market hitting 29K did absolutely nothing for them but make things more unaffordable.
Just wait until people get sick and try to use the junk health insurance plans they've brought back.
The Coronovirus is only a small part of the problem.
The largest problem is that we can see just who in the fuck is in charge of handling this crisis.
Were we looking at a competent leader like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden, I guarantee you folks would not be so freaked out.
The fuckstick fired the folks that respond to crisis like this because... and I quote..."I don't like to spend money on people that are doing nothing". As if being prepared for stuff like this is "stupid".
That would be like saying, "let's get rid of all the aircraft carriers, pilots, engineers, weapons techs, aircraft mechanics, support staff and boatswain's mates because we're not at war."
If you set out to pick the most incompetent, stupid, lazy, hatefilled, ignorant, floor flushing dipshit the world has ever known to lead the country... you could not have picked anyone better than Donnie Shit for Brains to fit those qualities.
The market is crashing because we have a crisis and people are looking up and saying; "holy fucking shit!... that's the fucking guy in charge!!??"
10. THIS!
Everything you said mirrors my thinking. Trump has no plans or policy directives to explain to an anxious public what they should do to be as safe as possible. No information about schools or work or govt facilities. No one is supplying free masks, hand sanitizer or other cheap protections that might minimize the spread.
There is no public outreach whatsoever. No one has offered any concrete details of how the federal government with assist states and cities to deal with this epidemic. There's no financial assistance to train medical staff and first responders on how to handle suspected patients. No directions for mass transit carriers or crowded public venues... just crickets from this useless administration.
Trump is doing nothing! He's on TV lying his ass off and making useless happy talk instead of ramping up all the relevant agencies (you know, all the ones he gutted!) and alerting the National Guard to be ready to assist. He isn't mobilizing FEMA or any other govt agency to start stockpiling medical and quarantine supplies in case there is a break in the supply chain (China) and bringing local US suppliers onboard to fill the need.
Trump's massive incompetence is going to kill people.
