It might be time to help ease the tremendous burden of taking risks and having an unforeseeable illness impact big business. Think of the inconveniences and potential loss of extremely tempting luxuries. That is not acceptable.
Corporations are certainly deserving of a social remedy from us, the brand-loving consumers who appreciate their impeccable efforts to provide products for great profits and ease the cost to consumers by cutting the bottom-line and paying as little as possible to employees while assuring that their legal obligation to shareholders who hold a lot of shares get wealth. Always remember who owns the most of the shares and that will secure your support for corporate welfare, bailouts and whatever sacrifices we, The People have to make because, JOBS! We bow our heads here.
Now that an extremely unfortunate act of mammon has potentially interfered with the most crucial and significant aspect of our culture, the profit margin, it is time for us all to band together once again and get the corporate doll churning out checks to the most important, valued and highly-esteemed members of our society, because, heck, don't they really deserve it? If they ask for some, give them more!
Now, the rest of you out there should rely fully on the dignity of work and make sure you have plenty of bootstraps to pull yourselves up as you pay the price for whatever you did to make these problems happen, which may have been slacking or not shopping enough, or, well, you know you are responsible.
Working as many jobs as you possibly can will be a way for you to help in this great cause. You must be able to spend what you have on what is produced for you in order to maintain the almighty profit margins and bring this economy back to...ah, from the brink of disaster. Give up what you need and think more about what we want you to want so things can get back to the normal, upward flow of all wealth into deserving pockets.
Thanks for your time and support of corporations, industry and increasing wealth. A billion is NEVER enough. Support your elite!

(12,712 posts)I try to use any creativity I have left to express what I really think and feel about topical issues. Sometimes, I also condense the details of what I have been reading about and channel it into prose, using humor and sometimes hyperbole to spice it up a bit.
This was preaching to the choir, I know, but it is good to bring it up, all things considered.

(34,661 posts)The 2009 bailout helped the Nations Industrial Base recover do to simple economics of what is known as the seven turns of the paycheck on Main Street. Trillions were spent in order to make that happen.
This time we are in a new Ball Game. Many of those Industrial Firms have since moved off shore leaving us with a total Service Economy,and Workers who have zero Bennies and crappy Health Insurance. So,giving Trumps Friends in the Casino/Hotel/Hospitality Business as a Stimulant helps only the Stake Holders. Low wage Jobs produce a paycheck that at most turns three times on Main Street and in some Settings maybe twice. The Grocery Store and the Payday Loan sharks.
As one Economist said on Bloomberg this AM,we could see a six year recovery ahead because of our Service Economy and if those who think any Hard Manufactured Goods will be made State Side,for get about it.

(12,712 posts)I was going to post a question along those lines.
My question was about the blame on the coronavirus as the main cause for the market crash so far. I can see it being a factor, but it made me wonder if this is really just a sign of a propped-up, weak economy that has been over valued for a while. I am no economist or investor, but I have read some articles that are giving me that impression, and, I guess, that should be obvious from the large and frequent injections into the repo markets, etc., etc.
