4. IIRC this was to help our economy. It doesn't really have anything to do with the pandemic specifically, just to help "smooth the curve" of a possible recession.
5. It is sad; many people do not learn from history, how terrible Nationalized healthcare is, and just accept a lot of the propaganda they're fed, extolling its praises.
Nationalized Healthcare unequivocally leads to a lower quality of healthcare. Perhaps you can live with it, but those who will die while waiting in line will undeniably not.

(I know certain people are susceptible to raging when exposed to Steven Crowder; if you happen to be one of these people, skip ahead to 6:05, when he begins to provide a lot of proof as to why America has the best healthcare system in the world. It will save you grief.)
6. I think we all understand that working class people need money. This is why #Trump wants this whole quarrantine business to be over with, so that people will stop getting laid off and can continue working.
Good for you for not listening to the #MSM. BTW. Alternative media isn't always necessarily better just because it's independent, but it helps keep up the integrity of the reporting, I feel. I watch Tim Pool a lot, as far as watching news on #YouTube. (I do find it funny that you linked to a video, not by independent content creators or journalists, but by The Hill.)
@SheChanges @shampoobottle I've taken enough enough history to know that Capitalism + Limited Unemployment Support makes for the best system.
I agree with what Wolff is saying, that giving away money to businesses isn't really a good solution, and endless cycles of debt are stupid. Where he goes wrong is by saying just because the government is being fiscally irresponsible, we must get rid of Capitalism. 4:03 is where he goes off the rails.
He claims that the "profit system fails". This is untrue; the real issue lies in the FDA putting roadblocks in the way of drug companies, forcing us to go longer without vaccines and life-saving medicine.
Capitalism only works when companies can compete, and the only time when Capitalism begins to really go south is when you have either monopolies, or all of the big players colluding together.
Now, where does this fit into pharma? Well, we already know of one treatment that's been showing a lot of promise, that's Hydroxychloroquine. Some people are starting to get it, that's a fact, but big government is preventing a lot of the people who need it from being able to get it and benefit from it.
This is why when Wolff says 4:41, he's completely wrong. "There has to be a Department of Public Health." Are you kidding me? More government is not the solution to problem caused by the government.
It only gets worse from here. At 5:09 he claims that being organized is the only way to judge a financial system. IDK who else genuinely believes this. You can have well-organized starving hordes, as is the case is Cuba and Venezuela. Yay. Good for them.
Now, perhaps this is parody. Perhaps Wolff is playing a character. He does, after all say that China and South Korea are doing "a very good job", in comparison to the United States. (While we know that South Korea is indeed doing a good job on this, only the exact opposite can be said for China.)
@SheChanges @shampoobottle Capitalism is the reason we're a better nation than others, and have been able to handle the #Coronavirus far better than them (so far). The second most important thing here is actually to make sure that capitalism lives on, and it seems likely to do so, so that's good news.
How should people respond to the #Coronavirus?
@vice@newsbots.eu I mean if you care for cheap #Coronavirus samples by all means have at it
@why your gender is gamer
@pie IDK man, a whole lot of people don't like a free world, much less its leader
