  1. Pritzker should donate all his hotel space for migrants

  3. Some state needs to go first, as long as its not my state.

  4. Too many corporations and people live on the edge because they live to the max on borrowed money, so they all collapse like a house of cards.

  5. Why not refund the taxes small businesses paid last year up to $250,000?

  6.  @Olgasklyar  If the French weren’t so incompetent, they could have bombed Hitler’s troops into oblivion when they lined up to invade Belgium.

  7. Dwayne Coy You are wrong. Social Security saved the elderly from starvation. FDIC saved the banking industry. He did get millions back to work through government jobs fixing infrastructure. He saved the economy from what happened in 2008 and now, booms and busts happening in the economy because the Glass-Steagal Act prevented banks from owning investment firms and corporations were not allowed to run up debt buying their own stocks. The only reason Roosevelt wasn't more successful was because Congress wouldn't approve enough spending until WWII started.

  8. Defense spending is not for our defense. Let’s get out of Europe and Asia and let them pay for their own. That’s at least two hundred billion saved.

  9. 8 killed, that’s an average number of Black people getting killed in Chicago in a week. Why no outrage when people are Black?

  10. Party apparatchiks want to select Democratic candidate. Which party is a threat to democracy?

  11. Protecting the elderly and vulnerable is important, but shutting down the entire economy to stop the virus is too much. Among the young, the mortality is no different than the flu.

  12. His first statement was a lie. The Federal Reserve created a bubble by keeping excessively low interest rates that allowed corporations to inflate their stock prices by stock buybacks. The Federal Reserve went into the overnight repo market in 2019 because of all the worthless bonds created by corporations whose banks couldn't get cheap overnight loans with these garbage bonds. The Coronavirus crisis was an excuse for the Federal Reserve to buy all these garbage loans to keep bank and other corporation stock prices inflated. This is simply a system to protect the wealth of the rich at the expense of everyone else. It should be interesting to see what the P/E ratio will be for the S&P next quarter. As far as value is concerned, stocks are the first group of assets to enter hyperinflation. After the economy hits bottom mid-year, expect more hyperinflation thanks to the Federal Reserve.

  13. Actually the losers under the current unfair trade with China, the American worker, will be the winner under a trade war with China. This has been proven by the great growth of jobs and wages since the Trump stood up to this current unfair trade agreement.

  14. Things will go back to the way they were once a vaccine is created. The work environment is critical for people to be productive. Work at home simply does not work well to keep people focused on work, productive and interactive with a team of people trying to develop a product.

  15.  @titusp9488  Fed is the problem because they created trillions of dollars without a corresponding increase in productivity or economic growth. It’s a simple case of excess supply of too many dollars chasing too few goods, partially caused by the shutdowns and supply chain interruptions.

  16. michael demeo That's not true. There have been a lot of people of color in Chicago who have done extremely well. Have you heard of Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan or the hundreds of others of well paid athletes and entertainers. If you include people from India who dominate healthcare jobs, we are talking about thousands of people in Chicago making well above average income. Stop living in the past. Opportunities are for anyone willing to get their education and work hard for those opportunities.

  17. Bulls-eye was obviously code word to operatives

  18. And soon the airports will be empty, like after 9/11.

  19. The most important thing is the healthcare system can handle the number of sick people and there are better procedures to help the sickest people, such as the use of blood thinners. It's unfortunate there are people who simply don't care if they get sick or get others sick and won't cooperate in crowded places like stores. I'm all for those people being arrested for trespassing if they can't follow rules set out by owners to be allowed on their property.

  20. The whole point is to not overwhelm healthcare systems. Very few people who can't handle the virus are being saved.

  21. K Kr The worst thing FDR did was start farm subsides. The Federal government could have bought all the farm land in America instead of putting farmers on a lifetime of handouts.

  22. Biden will now know how much he can push his agenda, especially if he loses election.
