This will not end well.

Stare at this chart. At best it represents a decade of stagnation, a crippled economy, an Empire’s slow death. That’s if we’re lucky.

Granted, we can’t place all the blame on COVID-19. By all rights, The Global Financial Crisis should have been even more painful than it was. But governments and central banks came to “rescue” us and kicked the can down the road for more than a decade.

COVID-19 was just the pin that popped the bubble that had been allowed to grow and grow.

Coronavirus News, Analysis, Opinion, et cetera:

HHS bids $250 million contract meant 'defeat despair and inspire hope' on coronavirus. I’m feeling better about this already?

Broad Bipartisan Support for Additional Stimulus in U.S. They had to take a poll to figure that out?

CDC broadens eviction protections amid pandemic. Hmmm…will this survive an inevitable court challenge?

FEMA Says It Will Stop Paying For Cloth Face Masks For Schools

1 in 3 Black Americans knows someone who died of Covid-19.

'Battle for civilisation': Venice film festival calls for fightback against Netflix

The directors of seven European film festivals shared the stage at the opening of the 77th Venice film festival to help kick-start an industry that they said was in danger of being usurped by streaming sites such as Netflix because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

False claim shared by President Trump that only 6% of CDC-reported deaths are from COVID-19 is based on flawed reasoning

Trump Compares Police Shooting to Missing a Putt

Trump's 'plane loaded with thugs' conspiracy theory matches months-old rumor

Not at all related to COVID-19 but I’m a bit surprised that this story seems to be getting so little attention. If true, a huge development in the region: Report: Israel, UAE setting up spy bases in Yemen
