So the US is already seeing the first of what will be a wave of eviction protests. Should be interesting to see how the right wing spins this since

the states that will be throwing people out on the street first are all deep red states. That will kind of make the "leftist antifa" bullshit more difficult to maintain.

This is the economy starting to really crash, and it's an opportunity for leadership to step in and figure out what to do.

I've got zero confidence that Trump will figure this out, or that he'll want to do anything more than blame someone.

But I'd love to be wrong.

@MistyCee Yes, we need to turn it over to quid pro joe
@MistyCee I would say it has been failing for awhile and the entire economic system has been proven absolutely bankrupt.


And I see no leadership of any kind. The Biden argument to just hit rewind on a 1000 car pileup is not a solution either.

Even if he could turn back the clock and go back to the status quo. The status quo is exactly what created the conditions for this all to happen.
@sunsporter1649 Neither party has any solutions or leadership.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Just like the Yukon, eh?
@sunsporter1649 And just when you had finally said something remotely intelligent you relapse. Reality a bit too scary?
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Biden, in comparison to Trump, might actually be motivated to work for the public good and might either have, or hire people with skills to work with Congress and the rest of the world to make it happen.

Trump doesn't seem to give a crap as long as he can blame someone else and get make money from emoluments.
@MistyCee Biden's few recent statements have been to state that he agrees with the law and order crackdowns just disagrees that state governments should be doing the crackdowns. That and reassuring Wall St that he will be their employee. He is not even making empty promises like Obama. Especially now a guy who just offers you lube before screwing you over is not good enough.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So he hasn't weighed in on evictions?

I'm not sure that's a bad thing compared to say, picking winners and losers, or promising to sign a plan in two weeks.
@MistyCee Nothing more profound then "evicting people is bad." Thanks captain obvious.

And that is something both parties have done for decades. That is nothing new.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That igloo you are living under up in the Yukon paid for?
@sunsporter1649 I have a house that I was able to keep during all this because in my country we take care of each other. We don't throw each other under a bus.
@MistyCee The other reason why picking winners and losers has become a pointless argument is because at this point there effective no longer is a private sector in the US. It is basically a fiction. All of corporate America is surviving on handouts from the Fed. The difference is the government handout to the corporations has no expiry date.

@LvChris He's in charge of whatever he wants to be for the next couple of months, but he's not going to get his key money in two weeks.
@MistyCee I suspect the fact that tik Tok's userbase humiliated him in Tulsa probably is part of the equation too.
