put down the shovel and quit while you’re behind! This was a quote MOCKING the hypocrisy of those who decry socialism. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you. At least we can now all see that your ability to read and comprehend the English language is severely limited. It explains a lot. Carry on.

I don’t understand why you’re so riled up? My original post wasn’t directed at anyone. I was stating an observation about the CARES Act. I think you’re the one that needs to put the shovel down.

oh maybe it’s your desire to let thousands of people twist in the wind? And now you backpedal acting like it was some simple observation. Complete bs. You get smacked down and then pretend you have no idea why anyone would be annoyed with your posts. You’re act is tiresome. Scurry away now.

OP drops this turd and then vanishes....just to have people bicker over politics, basically. Pure socialism doesn’t work. Pure capitalism doesn’t work, either. The mix and balance of the two is how you have an actual society.

Ohhh grow up! Nobody wants to have thousands of people twist in the wind as you say. Dramatic much? If you can’t have a civil conversation like an adult you’re not worth anyone’s time.

ok. Now you’re “above the fray”...lol. I seriously doubt you work here. You’re completely out of step with any pilot who understands the situation we’re in.

Socialism works just as well as every other Ponzi scheme. Eventually a large number of the members get the shaft. Progressive liberalism is just like Time Share Condo’s.....Great idea until they are full. Fingers crossed that Oct 1 ends the bankrupting of America. Let it rise or let it fall....

In fairness everyone was cancelling because the government said oh s.... incoming. Everyone run. So yes cancelations preceded some closures but by the time we heard about that NY, CA, and WA were already going to shelter in place.

I’ve been spending during this time which is how our economy works. If it weren’t for the cares act my wallet would’ve been shut. Multiply this by hundreds of thousands of airline employees and the economic damage would’ve been more than the cares act cost which is precisely why it passed and was signed by the president.

Also we are not Greece. The dollar is the most powerful currency in the world. The United States doesn’t have to be debt free by retirement or death like a person. This isn’t kitchen table finance. As long as GDP grows the debt can actually grow with it as long as you can service it and the rest of the world believes in the dollar. This can go on forever.

I’m not advocating for endless senseless government spending but in this case it was necessary. Not so we all do nothing forever but to stop the bleeding enough so we can get back to producing that GDP and servicing said debt.

Socialism??? It sure smacks of corporate welfare.
