30 Posts Mocking Corporate America During The Coronapocalypse

Yep they expect every small business owner who's barely scraping by to get these low interest loans from banks to survive. But these multibillion-dollar companies can't do the same thing?

She has a good point. The corona crisis would be a good time to get rid of all this tax-evasive behaviour. Maybe finally Europe the the US can work together in proper taxation, instead of each side protecting "their" companies for the damage of everybody.

Fair enough!

OMG, THIS.

It's because they are publicly traded and focus mainly on shirt term profits to increase share price. Doing so requires them to be leveraged heavily. Go pull a 10K report for any large business and look at how much cash they have compared to total assets. You can see it on the balance sheet under the financial reports section. Mist large companies hold less than 5% of total assets in cash.

Yes and I have no issue with that. These companies make obscene profits in other territories whilst exploiting their infrastructure and talent . They should contribute in taxes to each country they make a profit in.

I've always wanted to pay politicians double the minimum wage and force them to pay for medicine and retirement out of pocket.

It seems to dawn on the American people that the American dream is really just a dream. And maybe even that social security is not communism.

And isn't it strange that those now cry loudest for help that rallied against labour laws, market control etc. and called it "socialist"? They now willingly accept the state utilizing them or even buying shares. You either want a strong state or not; a "comprehensive cover" state that does not interfer in good times but backes up in bad times is the epithomy of unsolidary thinking!

Tell me pls this is some very bad joke.

Weren't "simple solutions" the answer of Trump for everything since he became president?

And people need to legitimately boycott these places. There's just no way people are going to boycott Amazon though. They're doing interviews all over the country and hurting people into one room and going against all social distancing initiatives yet they're not getting fined or anything else. But if I had 10 people gathered on my porch I could get arrested and fined

Amazon = Evil

The people that give all that money are the same people that are saying that their people should go back to work. But only if they seem healthy and under 55 years old or so. They don't give a s*** about anyone but the 1%.

How about we get rid of billionaires altogether. No one needs that much money.

Slowly, this series gets only sad, not humourously critical...

With an education, you might have understood the odds of actually becoming rich. This is why the rich do not want the poor educated, and how people stay conditioned this way. The american dream is lie perpetuated by the few successfull...

American airline can bite me.

And the worker who organized it got fired. Jeff bezos is the biggest piece of s*** in the entire world.

Airlines are such greedy companies squeezing money out of every little thing they possibly can, and now they expect the customers' help and loyalty. Maybe be reasonable and treat your customers better and people would have more interest in saving your business

Actually, I suspect about $5K will kick right back to each Congress member...

Scandalous and sickening...

On $1,200.00 I can't afford to waste food. That Cheetos is being eaten.

That's it! And everyone questioning it will simple be called "socialist" or "snowflake". However, nearly everyone is being cheated on.

Haha, and this in a country with like 10 unpaid holiday days in total (25+ paid in Europe, just for relation).

However, capitalism doesn't prevent bailouts of private corporations

As soon as they announced a $2 trillion dollar stimulus package...Andrew Yang was like "Where did we get $2 trillion dollars?"

If employees don't return, the companies may raise salaries to encourage workers. This could be good....

This is Trump's healthcare..... bring back Obama

Please somebody tell me that someone gave him a highfive?

Why don't we work to prevent the next pandemic and bailout our education system next?

That's literally what they said. That older Americans should be willing to die to save the economy and the future of the next generations

Because the billionaires own the media. Duh.

Makes sense to me....

Wait, does anyone even remember the AT&T antitrust suit in the 1980’s when they were a deemed a monopoly as the sole telephone company the the U.S? When they charged outrageous prices for calling “long distance” which could be just 20 miles from your home. We now have choices and free calls anywhere in the U.S. CHOOSE another carrier and move on.

This needs to be higher up.. Everybody should read their emergency powers bill completely. A fuckton of unrelated s**t is entered into it to be hammered into approval.

I would love to blue shell the 1%

Your government is going to hand out free money. That's socialist. Prepare to pay the 70% income taxes that, according to a lot of Americans, Europeans have to pay to support their health care and socialist system.

Link Congressional pay to the federal minimum wage... give them three times that hourly. Then see how fast social safety nets come back.

Just because they're struggling WITH a decent health care system doesn't mean the problem wouldn't have been worse without one. People avoiding testing and quarantine because they fear costs and losing their jobs (an subsequently, their health insurance) might well make the problem in the US worse. I, for one, am watching with a kind of horrified curiosity. No, I don't think my own European country is doing great. But I do think that the US are ticking more boxes in the category "things that could significantly worsen the outbreak".

Just out of curiosity, if a person in the US dies during medical treatment, do their medical bills get cleared or does it get passed on for their next of kin to pay?

Most don't even have a mask.

And THIS is why this prick needs to GO!! 🤬

"I'll trickle down, I promise." (*facepalm*)

You know, he could have given nothing. Wasn't obliged to give those 0.03% either.

It's not economy. It's average people

And you get a bailout check!

Needs more pitchforks
