Is this the way it is suppose to be?
For Trump.
Hopefully not for Biden.
Seems there's a System break down here.
Course, I feel the same way when I see someone living in a cardboard box under the Freeway overpass.
The system is to help the rich and punish the poor.
Hard to miss THAT under the current situation.
How can some (about 50%) continue to invest in the Stock Market, while others are waiting in Food Lines.
I've heard 'Universal Basic Income' (UBI) tossed around as a Solution. (I don't know that much about it though)

i would say the republican system is to help the rich, pretending the more they have, the more they will let some "trickle down" on the vast majority of American consumers who are not rich. I am not sure I would say they want to punish the poor as much as they just don't give a fuck about them.
Most Americans are not investors. They may have a company IRA but they do not actually manage their portfolios.
I've heard 50% of Americans are invested in the Market. I don't know how many are 'active' Investors that actually know how to construct a Portfolio.
Little difference between reckless action and intentionality.

'Proletarian' is probably a good name. Their only value is their Labor. They live 'hand-to-mouth' and 'week-to-week'. As Industry is 'automated', less Human Labor is needed.
Other than the popular idea of sticking the 'Excess People' in to 'For Profit Prisons', I haven't heard of any Solutions.
At most, 10% are active investors. Just my estimate.
and what value did any communist system give to the vast majority of citizens except their labor?
"Thus far in 2020, Gallup finds 55% of Americans reporting that they own stock, based on polls conducted in March and April. This is identical to the average 55% recorded in 2019 and similar to the average of 54% Gallup has measured since 2010."

"Stock ownership is strongly correlated with household income, formal education, age and race.
In 2020, the percentages owning stock range from highs of 85% of adults with postgraduate education and 84% of those in households earning $100,000 or more to lows of 22% of those in households earning less than $40,000 and 28% of Hispanics."
I don't know.
It seems 'Communism' has been abandoned and we now have a Global System of Capitalism.
Okay. And the people who run the markets are using that capital for their own profit.
