agreed. Trump knows he’s going down in November, and not only going down, but he will be Crushed! There will be no cares 2 because he will want to take the economy down with him. By December, the US economy will be a crater in the ground.

Your opinion, but the market is a harsh arbiter and forward looking. Right now, it appears the institutional investors believe next year will be better. Could very well change, but the smart money doesn’t appear to support your thesis.

As far as the economy goes, the world's central banks will keep those electronic printing presses going to keep the economy afloat. There's no sign of inflation right now so they can afford to do this.
While I share others' concerns about inflation, the excess liquidity in the system isn't chasing goods and services; it's chasing assets (stocks, bonds, real estate). So the inflation is only seen right now in investments.

It's interesting that so many airline pilots are so far to the right and believe in so strongly that capitalism is the way.
But as soon as their job is threatened, they put their hand out for a government bailout.
If my airline bites the dust or I get furloughed, then that's just life.. if the demand for airline travel is there, I will have a job flying something. Capitalism is survival of the fittest.
If they had used the bailout money to provide free healthcare, when I lose my job at least I would be able to goto the doctor.
Seriously, you can't have it both ways..

Anyone have a wild guess at how many lives could have been saved if we took half the money our country’s response to COVID has cost us and instead spent it on other forms of healthcare for our citizens and other diseases that currently take millions of lives every year? I’d bet it’s a lot more than COVID’s death toll will ever reach.
more seriously; it’s generally accepted that prevention is more cost effective than cure, but that would require a fundamental re-evaluation of our priorities...
