      That’s like the difference between getting two slices of shit in your shit-sandwich or just getting one.

        We got tax breaks for the rich and a handout to business owners while the rest of us got a couple extra paychecks for all that time things were shut down. This was all because we had our pandemic response plan killed by Trump because Obama had put it together. We also didn’t bother taking a hard stance on border crossings like New Zealand did early in the pandemic even in easy areas to do it like Hawaii.

        The Covid pandemic response was 100% on Trump and his buddies.

          I was in Finance at the time of the 2008 Crash and keenly watched the response to it from around the World, including Barack Obama.

          If you think the handouts for the rich started with Trump, I have a bridge to sell you.
