Poor trying to help each other

mardi 21 avril 2020 à 02:00

Paraguay won't tax the rich to help the poor, so poor people are trying to help each other.

Paraguay's leftist president was removed a few years ago by a more-or-less coup and replaced by the right wing.

Inequality causes pandemics

*Inequality doesn't just make pandemics worse — it could cause them.*

*More than 60 poorer countries are spending more paying creditors than on health – study.*

Presidential contempt

mardi 21 avril 2020 à 02:00

After contemptuously defying Congressional oversight committees, the conman is now contemptuously defying executive branch inspectors general.

This confirms that his goal is arbitrary rule with unlimited corruption.

The numskull is making US allies distrust the US and despise him.

Sarin gas in Syria

mardi 21 avril 2020 à 02:00

The OPCW has labeled Assad as responsible from dropping sarin gas on Khan Sheikhun in Syria.

There are claims that this attack did not happen at all.

Oversight on bailout

mardi 21 avril 2020 à 02:00

Public Citizen proposes how Congress should restore oversight to the 2-trillion bailout for big companies selected by the conman and Mnuchin.

When the article talks of "squandering" this money, it understates the danger. Having negated all existing oversight, Mnuchin and the conman will have no obstacles to stop them from exercising favoritism in whatever way they wish, in effect using this money as bribes. They could pressure large companies to spend more on Republican campaigns.

Given how far the conman has already gone in corruption, such as handing out ventilators and masks to states that support him, I expect he will do this.

It was terribly foolish for Democrats in the House of Representatives to agree to this loan program — foolish to imagine those corrupt officials would not exploit every opportunity for corruption.

When talking about the Special IG, please do not refer to per as "they". It causes grammatical confusion.
