Republicans want to give Americans immediate support — taken out of their future Social Security payments.

For corporations, by contrast, they have offered support at the treasury's expense.

Republican Senator Alexander poured out money to corporations and rich people, but now he says that "there's not enough money" to give anything to the poor. Why didn't he tell the rich people and corporations that?

Their actions make sense, if you assume that non-rich human beings are expendable, while immortal corporations have intrinsic value.

The bully's push to imprison unauthorized immigrants just because he can is responsible for causing many of them to catch Covid-19, and some fraction of them to die.

The US government is responsible for protecting the health of prisoners, even prisoners who have been convicted of a crime (which most imprisoned unauthorized immigrants have not been). But, as repeated incidents have shown, prison thugs systematically disregard prisoners' reports of being sick or injured.

A few weeks ago, a Texas official called for sacrificing old people and people with medical conditions for the sake of profit. I think Texas Republicans they have quietly decided to >do exactly that.

There is evidence that nonwhites are much more likely to be killed by Covid-19. I expect those officials are racist and regard the partially-selective killing of those minorities as a secondary benefit.
