I just ask incase someone has something enlightening to say. Is there going to be any level of sanity left, anywhere, while the government is going to be the nightmare circus that it’ll be in within these next 4 years?

    Even before the pandemic we were seeing the negative effects he was having on our economy.

    Let’s not beat around the bush here: trying to stave off the impending recession due to Trump’s disastrous tax giveaway to the wealthy and trade war with China is why the Fed was already lowering interest rates in 2019, and therefore had no levers left to pull when the pandemic hit.

    IMO the pandemic actually helped Trump by letting him off the hook for his economic fuck-ups.
