I hope you understand that money is simply a tool to trade productivity. When there is no productivity the money is worthless. Giving people money to be unproductive is simply devaluing the currency which is a tax on all Americans
While I hope you understand, I know that you dont.
if you think about a war, much of it involves activity that would normally be considered unproductive
taking people away from their regular jobs to produce war material makes no sense, expect during time of war
tanks have no utility except for destroying enemy tanks
similarly social distancing has no utility except during a pandemic
the same logic that will lead a society to pay people to make tanks and other war making machinery during a war applies to activities that curtail the spread of a virus during a pandemic
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
The difference being in world War 2 the people had savings and the government wasn't bankrupt.
That is not the case today.
Is what it is
Oh and then another tiny difference is the gv

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
they paid people to work on the war effort
and they borrowed bigly to do it
we are at war with a virus that has killed about 300,000 Americans so far...it is worth making a similar effort to contain it
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
And what what the countrys debt to enable them to run up the deficits in the short term?
Higher now.
But it is worth noting that interest rates are currently extremely low, making for a favorable environment for financing debt.

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
That is certainly the key takeaway

Nice to see good people stand up to bull**** and crazy
I’m sure this is “censorship” in some stupid persons mind

This isn't worse than what the nazis did.
But it's the worst thing done to people since the nazis.
As far as western countries are concerned
Dude got swatted and people are reading into it too much. I'd bet on it. Especially because he wasn't arrested.
Trace back the source and it leads to conspiracy site globalresearch.ca. which has been a grand source of disinformation, including an article saying COVID was made in the USA.
