It gets worse. PPP was actually a stealth bank bailout. Banks were tasked with administering the loans of federal money. The banks took advantage of the situation and most only accepted applicants from companies that already had loans with the bank. In other words, most of the PPP money actually went to companies so that they could keep current on existing bank loans, not to keep employees in their jobs. Sneaky, sneaky "too big to fail". The government can't help the average worker or actual small business, but it can afford to give free money to banks...AGAIN.

1 Bayraktar drone can just wreck the front vehicles and stop the line until cleared. Repeat.

Deliberate spread of misinformation, to include slander and online bullying should be considered and treated as terrorism.

Trump is going to deploy the military to subdue the people in the poorest areas that he claims to want to protect. Sounds rather like Putin talking about eastern Ukraine. FYI, T-Diddy, first, the US military can't legally be deployed in the US. Second, the National Gaurd is a state force under control of governors. If you attempt to deploy the military, you will kick off a genuine, legitimate States' Rights civil war.

Peaceful protesters are safer targets! Looters and rioters might be dangerous!

If you think that the United States can just stick our heads in the sand and pretend everything is OK while Russia invades a peaceful European country just because it's not happening here, I invite you to read a history book or even just Google the term "appeasement". Everything is more expensive everywhere because Russia decided it could bully its neighbors. 10% inflation as a pleasant breeze, a walk on the park compared to having you home, workplace, and entire city turned to rubble, not to mention loss of life or the lives of friends and loved ones.

@MG-zq5cg - if China wants to remove itself from US and European markets, that's fine. It would be a great opportunity to rebalance world trade by restarting American and European manufacturing of both raw materials and consumer goods. Sure, prices would initially be higher, but in the medium and long term it would be good for you neighbor to have a better job, higher paying job, or more diversity in choosing a job. There's also the added bonus of national security of basic goods and medicines being produced by friendly countries or at home. If China wants to remove themselves as the place where all our cheap goods are made, that's fine. In the short term, it would also incentivize entrepreneurs in other low wage Asian countries that are friendlier. Win, win, win.

Russia can't take all of Ukraine. Russia is now getting pushed back in every area that they've pushed into. With the losses that Russia has sustained in men and materiel, it's unlikely that Russia will be able to hold onto its 2014 gains in eastern Ukraine and Crimea. "Why is Russia allowing itself to be embarrassed?" Russia doesn't have a choice. Russia has a large, poorly trained army equipped with old and poorly maintained equipment using outdated tactics.
