Dow plunges by more than 700 points as COVID cases spike in mostly red states and Trump is in denial

How's your 901K doing?

Trump's not asking that anymore, as the DOW plunged again today, dropping 730 points and barely staying above 25,000 (25,015.55 to be exact) as new spikes in COVID 19 cases to their highest levels had scared states into 'reversing' their re-openings. Trump still remains in denial about the spike and about COVID itself.

U.S. states saw a single-day record rise of 37,000 in infections on Thursday, led by Florida, Texas, California and Arizona, surpassing the 36,188 level from April 24, according to analysis of data from Bloomberg.

Governors in Texas and Florida ordered all bars to close again on Friday, making the states the first to reverse some reopening measures after months of lockdowns. Texas reported 6,426 new coronavirus cases Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University data, and Florida reported over 8,900.

142,000 dead. Trump has blood on his hands.

The Dow is still -9% below its 52 week high. If you were in the stock market, you would know that.

BTW, record unemployment. #TrumpfailedAmerica.

Thats only 2,000 points off the all time record set by Trump. At least Trump finally gets credit for the stock market after almost 3 1/2 years. Trump set the record with 29,000 plus.

No one wants to go back to work because they are getting $600 a week, for most people this is more money than they were making when they were working.

I see Now Hiring all over my city. There are jobs, people just don't want to go back to work. Living off the Government is easier these days.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

How many of those 'Now Hiring' signs you see are for the high-paying, six-figure jobs Trump promised to create ?

The stock market is a garbage and shadow stat. How's the 50-80% of America doing outside of the stock market?
Not so great, huh? But who cares? We only care about people who actually have substantial amounts of money. The rest can crawl off and die, for what we care.

This makes you happy?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It makes me dizzy. Does it make you happy ?

[–] trevorh321 (5495) 5 years ago

No. Because it affects retirement accounts, regular people. Unlike you, I do care for America.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

So what do you plan on doing about it, if you care for America so much ?

[–] trevorh321 (5495) 5 years ago

Voting against Democrats. That's what. Look around at all the damage Dems have done to our once great cities. I don't just mean the recent rioting. I mean the decades of mismanagement. How many cities have a black mayor and yet they still claim systemic racism exists. These large cities are run by Democrats. Not Republicans.

*yawn*

Have you ever been to San Diego? And then visited LA? One is mostly beautiful and peaceful. That's San Diego. Run by a Republican. LA is the worst. Terrible, dirty, stinky, rotten. Run by Democrats for years.

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

Jeezus krist, what grade are you in? What's the population of SD versus LA? What about the effect of having the biggest US naval installation in the country? You think that's all because of having some sit-on-his-hands pub mayor? No ! They are sitting on a gold mine of guaranteed taxes and happy jar-heads in a great physical climate.
Boy, those pub mayors sure have a firm hand on things ! (sarcasm alert, if needed)
It's the Dem mayors who are asked to take on difficult situations left behind by pub mismanagement.
That's why these towns don't vote pub - they know they don't care about the citizen's interest.

[–] snepts (11123) 5 years ago

OMG ! Black mayors ! A sure sign of poor management, right?
We need white pubs ruling over majority black cities. It's Manifest Destiny.
