Another 2.4M Americans File Jobless Claims Amid Pandemic Fallout | Morning Joe | MSNBC
“We’re going to win so much you’re going to be sick and tired of winning.” – Donald Trump
@Angela Chanel I’ll meet you at slovenly
@Jim Carlson PERFECT!😂
@Angela Chanel that’s how he looks. stank is the odor
@Angela Chanel aren’t we a pair of gossips
@Jim Carlson gossiping TRUTH
The priorities of this country have been dangerously skewed since WWII. People first. Turn the Industrial Military Complex into green energy, agriculture, housing, etc. Feeding, housing and providing healthcare for the poor is not communism. When we raise up those who have less than us, we raise everyone up. There is too much greed in this God forsaken country and it’s destroying everyone.

@B1 Don’t Run I wish I could post the link with Obama talking about this Virus 6 months before he left office. I know it was a hit on America by the Gates Foundation and others
@D B I shot my TV 3 years ago. #8 bird shot. 5 rounds.
You watch main stream media you will be the first arrested. Knock knock. FBI
Just say nice things about the orange-utan, and it will all go away.., it will magicaly disapear.
Tell the truth end you will be on your own.
Sad but true…
#MEDICARE and UBI for Americans
Now we know “trillions” are available
Reroute American tax money to AMERICANS
@UBU NOW – Thank you! For knowing we are a Representative Democracy. It’s rare that anyone knows what that is.
The House of Representatives is structurally sound, the Senate is NOT…and I mean, so much so…it is ANTI-democratic.
Taxation without proper representation is theft. We are a failing democracy because of 1) the electoral college, 2) plurality voting, 3) the Senate.
@Bat Boy thank you! You comment is both realistic and hopeful.
I have decided to keep advocating on YouTube for M4A until we get it. ( I know, a very small effort but what I can do.) But it really helps keep me going when I read comments like you have made here.
Thanks. 💛
@Shawn Corbin no, I don’t believe in communism. I just want every American citizen to be able to see a doctor regularly.
@Laura Lafauve – Thank you! And have a great day! 😃
With a n95 mask!
The economy belongs to the president
Standby for ‘Obama left the cupboards bare’ claim again.
@Wrong Crowd Trump supporters either don’t remember the Great Recession of 2008, or they pretend not to.
twiter should slam trumps acct down threats and lies cant help make things better
Corrupt politicians will force millions Into poverty thru their failed policies for personal gains. Never waste a crisis according to corrupt politicians in Washington.
Corrupt gop politics and president has already forced almost 100,000 into the grave with more and more on the way under trump and gop , lives / money
@bill you’re right. The 68,000 lives lost every year because of lack of health coverage, along with the current total of CV19 deaths would over.
Think of it this way. Every recession consolidates power for the elite, who give themselves bailouts, but won’t bailout citizens. Also every single Republican President crashed the markets since Hoover crashed the economy in 1929, while Obama and Clinton both had the two longest bull markets in out history. This is the main reason I lean left(but am not registered as a dem), as republicans history on economics stacks the deck against workers. Are the dems perfect? No one is, but I will always prefer steady growth over sugar highs and crashes…
@Some Person I don’t understand why that seems available invisible to people?
You can see when people are doing better over all. Or I can.
Historical Moments , We are The Witness..
Wow. This is an “I was there” no one wants to remember…
It used to be entertaining because I thought that he would be stopped-Americans are just NOT that dumb-before he did too much damage but now it is deeply troubling, nobody, it seems can get him out or contain his imbecility and pure, unadulterated self-centredness.
I feel for you America and the dreadful cost that you are all having to pay.
Mitch McConnell deserves a bullet for what he has helped to weld into place.
I feel the 6th party system is done. I feel once we are outta this. I feel it will be another 1896 (election). Then it will be time to do the GND
39 mil wow, that’s bigger then the population of Canada,
what is the joke?
Canada? LMAO Fidel Truedua…………………..
@Joe Po USA Agolf Twitler Americans should just. stfu for the next twenty years
Been approved for benefits to be released March 22nd…still no monies…i no longer have nothing 2 lose… coming 4 trump!
I am sorry that you have not been paid yet. I applied at the beginning of April and only got paid once in May 1st for the first two weeks of April. Since then no new deposits. I blame this on Trump and his admin for not taking this seriously early on.
Its a tremendous unemployment. An unemployment the world has never seen before.
That what happens when you extend lockdowns. Some aren’t gonna have jobs to go back to. Small business is gone
Lmao
Many people who avoid dying will have to deal with hospital bills that will bankrupt them….Think about that!
Ohhhh yes. That is coming too Medical Bankruptcies due to all these Hospital Bills. This Sheeit is just beginning.
Like Joe Scarborough says, “We are only in the 2nd inning here of a 9 inning baseball game”
Put your seatbelts on America; this is going to continually get worst. I pray for US. All lives lost and people who have lost jobs. Bless and Keep you all🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💙💚💛💛
This time it is the Pope.
He did not pray hard enough.
These kind of numbers speak, scream, of an oncoming depression.
Job loss. Stock still rise. Dosent any of this stink to you.?
@Jane B it’s called Corporate Stock Buybacks. They were banned by FDR after the Great Depression because they artificially inflate stock prices. Basically businesses buy their own stock, which limits supply, so the prices go up. It creates bubbles because there is nothing to actually hold up the value, like investment or innovation to encourage stock price growth. So FDR made it an illegal practice after the Great Depression and Reagan legalized them 50 years later, and ever since we have bigger and bigger financial collapses because American businesses would rather buy back their stocks than invest in innovation. In 2018 and 2019 Corporate Stock Buybacks hit record levels after Trumps 2017 Tax Scam, now 2020 is looking like another record year thanks to giving big businesses bailouts they didn’t really need. We really need to make them illegal again. Also $860 billion was spent to avoid a recession between September and February last year, and in February the US Bond Market flashed recession signals in the form of an Inverted Yield Curve(3 year bonds worth more than 10 year bonds, which shouldn’t happen).
The reason for the latter if you have any questions or need any further information please login to your financing options are available in a masters look at the end of what I’ve been working as a result information medha the same without importing library system you have any further assistance I am a little more than a lot of
Trump:” it’s a hoax, it will magically go away ” his bull-headed stupidity is endless
how about Trump magically going away
I call this faction/cult the modern Know Nothings.
The senate republicans are torturing Americans in need of a stimulus, unemployment doesn’t pick up the phone!
Trump is off his rocker.
Let people work. Republicans are the ones that want people back at work
RLS. You might want to watch out. Your on FBI radar and heard it has gone to your location. Turn off your phones
I’m a Canadian, let’s put this in perspective. 39 million people unemployed. The population of Canada is about 35 million.
I just imagined our entire country with no one having a job. Very frightening.
“We have become our own horror movie.” W.J.
What happens in Canada when the 2 grand / month stops being paid to workers? Just curious.
@Karen Byrd why does that even matter?
40million+ out of work
The published #’s are always short of the real #’s
The US is approaching 100,000 Covid deaths, over 1.5 mil infected
Mr T said he is proud of these numbers
He said he wouldn’t do anything differently
That is a numbing number. How can this not cause a depression.
