They just want to let people die. They don't seem to understand that most of the dead are their own supporters.





Right, however many have been working behind the scenes with drug manufactures and pandemic experts despite Trumps administration. They have been brainstorming to come up with a way to precede when a vaccine becomes available. And what steps to put in place to fight the virus until then.

Can anyone guess who's too stupid to realize it isn't just people dying. It's also the virus breaking the backs of our hospitals across the country. Breaking the backs of all our health care workers. Doctors nurses and all who work in the background. Many are dying and all are under tremendous strain. I won't even mention what it's doing to the economy.

Heed my words when I say he is to stupid to understand.

Science is based in facts and logic. Not his wheelhouse.

Fuck your propaganda, Ted Karen.

P.S. Fix your fucking signature.

Racist is right: poor white trash don't know how to run a business, while Asians do know.

Asia's economies are bouncing back. The West is headed in the other direction

Asia's biggest economies have managed to escape prolonged fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. Now they just have to make sure rising cases in the rest of the world don't put their recoveries in jeopardy.

Japan reported Monday that its economy expanded 5% in the July-to-September quarter, allowing it to emerge from recession. That translated to an annual rate of expansion of 21.4%, the fastest pace on record for the world's third largest economy.

Hours after Japan's announcement, China released data showing that its recovery is also continuing to pick up steam. Industrial production in the world's second-largest economy rose nearly 7% last month, beating estimates from economists polled by Refinitiv. Retail sales rose by slightly more than 4% — the fastest pace this year.

The promising news out of Asia stands in sharp contrast to the West, where many nations are grappling with a resurgence of Covid-19 and have been forced to once again impose restrictions in an attempt to bring their outbreaks under control. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated last Thursday that the US economy will need more stimulus from both the government and the central bank to get through the crisis.

The Bank of England warned earlier this month of a douple-dip recession for the UK economy as the country re-entered national lockdown. The European Union is facing a similar fate.

"In large part because of a significantly better containment of the virus, most Asian economies are performing better than their Western counterparts," said Louis Kuijs, head of Asia economics at Oxford Economics.

I am certainly a racist. I've fired more than my fair share of poor white trash, and had them deported back to the USA, who were doing lousy work on my overseas construction projects. These were guys, too proud and arrogant and belligerent, who were slowing the work on the projects. They are the kind of people who won't wear a mask during a pandemic and will vote for Trump and don't learn from experience and fight with their girl friends and have addiction problems with alcohol and tobacco. They are a bundle of problems. They are Trump's people.

Biden is trying to get the man he defeated to take action now to try to mitigate the desperate situation he is likely to inherit in January. In a statement on Friday, he called on Trump to concentrate on the emergency at hand and to take urgent action.

But Trump, who held a press conference on Friday claiming credit for vaccine developments while ignoring the lightning spread of Covid on his watch, appears only to have an interest in one thing: his own diminishing political prospects.

BILLIONAIRE MEGADONORS WHO FOUGHT WISCONSIN’S PLANS TO CONTAIN PANDEMIC GET INFECTED AT WHITE HOUSE

ught-public-health-efforts-contain-pandemic-contract-covid-19-white-house
/

Trump megadonors Liz and Dick Uihlein, owners of Uline shipping and outspoken opponents of COVID-19 prevention measures, have tested positive for the virus after attending an election night party at the White House.

Earlier this year, Liz Uihlein called the pandemic “overhyped,” lobbied legislators to overturn the public health restrictions by Governor Tony Evers, and backed a petition to have the Governor removed from office. A rare and brief interview with The Guardian on April 23 introduced Uihlein by stating:

“One of Donald Trump’s most fervent billionaire donors is lobbying against strict stay-at-home rules in the election battleground state of Wisconsin, raising troubling new questions about how the president’s rightwing financial supporters may influence the US response to the pandemic.”

A family friend accidentally linked the Uihleins to Wisconsin’s reopen protests in a separate Guardian interview.

The couple were tested for the coronavirus after saying they were around others who contracted the virus, according to an email sent to employees of Uline. The New York Times tweeted on November 12 that Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski, who was also at that party, tested positive and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, political director Brian Jack and others in the administration also tested positive after attending the party.
