4. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse

The first horseman rides a white horse, which scholars sometimes interpret to symbolize Christ; the second horseman rides a red horse and symbolizes war and bloodshed; the third rides a black horse and symbolizes famine; and the fourth horseman rides a pale horse and represents pestilence and death.

the pale horse's name is Covid-19.

But let's not panic. Trump and Pence are on the case.

At least that’s what I think. Completely anecdotal, I might be wrong. But I predict another low point today. Poor Donnie-do-nothing it’s really about the only thing that seems to get to him. The more he jabbers the worse it’ll get.

To the American people by promoting propaganda like Putin is doing , this will only get worse. Until the truth is brought back the people on Wall Street these dramatic market losses will continue.

Twitler has to be going insane that markets are still dropping

He doesn’t have the first clue how the economy actually works

Over 270K jobs (mostly shitty ones, I'm sure) and the market is STILL down over 700 points right now. The cracks, they are showing.

Liz Warren played out this scenario on TRMS last night. The possible scenario is.... NOT GOOD.
