    That would be because Trump is still in office. And then Biden opens his mouth and screws it all up!!

    Markets are looking forward, not backwards, so that would be incorrect

    However, I think a sharp correction will happen by 2022, not necessarily because of Biden, but regardless it will be under his watch

    So it's justified racism?

    I don't want your take as a white male, I want your take as a progressive who isn't a crazy person. Or to put it another way, a moderate-progressive. Did I just make up the term 'moderate-progressive?' I think I did!

    Is FEMA aid to city after a hurricane geographical discrimination? Minority communities have been more heavily impacted by Covid. Makes sense to me that a relief bill would target those communities and the businesses within those communities.

    Sure, but there's nothing wrong with that. Hence why we don't see 'geographical' appear in any anti-discrimination laws. We do however see 'race.' And I'm glad that you brought it up, because there's no reason why geographical discrimination cannot be used in order to target certain communities and the businesses within those communities, without even talking about race. Another way would be for businesses who have suffered a certain degree of financial loss to demonstrate their drop in revenue, which is what we did in Australia for our COVID wage subsidy program. Anyway, none of these alternatives are of any interest to the Democrats. Their way is all about minority pandering, which is the most important thing of course! Hey, I think that I just came up with another term! I'm on fire! It must be something about talking to you.

    And as for the "woman" part? :roflol:

    So you’d have less of a problem with it if they targeted aid to minorities communities and just avoided naming those communities?

    Yes, because white people in the same or worse situation would also be included.

    Pointing out the glaring hypocrisy of the left has became like shooting fish in a barrel. The OP does this very well. Of course, the leftist posts that followed were "oh just move on", "biden won", but, but Trump!", etc.... in other words leftists do not care that hypocrisy is so easily pointed out.

    So to recap: leftist hypocrisy pointed out and leftists do not care.

    No what?

    Well, at least we know who we are dealing with.

    Can you demonstrate that the proposed plan would not do exactly that? Do you think there are any minority owned businesses that hire white people?

    For the reasons I have already laid out. Aid is great. Letting people know that aid is coming is also great.

    You really have not laid out any reasons.

    Dont you think since nearly every minority community that’s been adversely affected was due to Democrats, its suspicious? Are we paying to repair businesses that were burned down in riots because Democrats sat back and let it happen? We have to hand money over to businesses because DEMOCRATS locked them down for too long. And as we’re finding out now, the lockdowns were useless. Why should those of us in FL who reopened faster, pay to help businesses in NYC or CA who were forced to remain closed?

    And as usual why mention race? That alone is obviously divisive. And a Hurricane is an act of nature. No one really questions who it hits. Businesses were purposely shut down by order or destroyed by people. Both directly influenced by Democrat policy.

    Wow. How well thought out and poignant. If a neighbor burns his own house down trying to defraud insurance should the rest of the neighborhood pay to rebuild his home?

    The worst fraud with Biden winning will be the entire country being forced to pay for the consequences of selfish and irresponsible actions of Democrat run cities across the country.

    Nice try. White BUSINESS OWNERS in the same or worse situation would also be included.

    Can’t say I know. I’d have to research if Covid has disproportionately affected women in some way.
