The Second Great Depression: Massive Economic Dislocation As Unemployment Hits 41 million, 25% Unemployment
First-time applications for unemployment have fallen for eight straight weeks, as states gradually let stores, restaurants, salons gyms and other businesses reopen and the auto industry starts up its factories again.

“The decline in continuing claims is encouraging, signaling at least some people are finding jobs or are being rehired as the economy is reopening,” said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, a consulting firm.

But the number of Americans filing for unemployment is still extraordinarily high by historical standards, and that suggests businesses are failing or permanently downsizing, not just laying off people temporarily until the crisis can pass, economists warn.

“That is the kind of economic destruction you cannot quickly put back in the bottle,” said Adam Ozimek, chief economist at Upwork.

Unfortunately, more people live on Main Street rather than Wall Street or Park Avenue.

Evil controls the ignorant... Climate change is a hoax so is the vax you have been fear-porned into compliance!

Definition Satan from the bible: Satan (Rev 12:7) exercising his subtle (indirect) impact on heathen governments (powers) – i.e. accomplishing his hellish agenda from "behind the scenes."

Why Main Street is suffering while Wall Street is soaring



References to “the stock market,” although common, are a little misleading in that the market is not a singular entity. Traders and investors follow the movements of the three major indices — which comprise only a small fraction of the number of public companies operating in the United States.

In terms of value, though, the companies comprising the indices are heavyweights: Apple, Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft, for instance, all have market caps topping $1 trillion each.

Aside from their size, the types of companies that dominate the S&P, Dow and especially the Nasdaq are contributing to their current buoyancy. The recent market surge has largely been propelled by rising shares at a handful of gigantic companies, from tech giants to Walmart and Johnson & Johnson — all companies whose products and services have been highly in demand as Americans stocked up on essentials, battened down the hatches and stayed home.

Thank COVID-19 and the commander-in-chief who was responsible for making an early, swift and effective response to it.

That is what voters will be thinking of in November.
