    Jeet Heer Retweeted Edward Luce

    Edward Luce is mainstream writer for the impeccably respectable Financial Times. It's striking that his candidness is so rare.https://twitter.com/EdwardGLuce/status/1242181589641068545 …

    Stated plainly: Republicans are using pandemic as cover to launch a major injection of wealth into the best connected companies of which the Trump Organization is first. It is the duty of reporters to report this not to regurgitate nonsense about "partisan bickering".

        The Financial Time is where the ruling class says what it thinks, behind the safety of a paywall.

        Yup. The corporate debt bubble was about to burst, and the coronavirus shutdown provided perfect cover for a taxpayer financed bailout of those obligations. These corporate bailouts are not for the corporations or the workers; they're for the bondholders of these corps.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I was a copy editor & writer for the FT. And what impressed me was their unwillingness to bow to politicized journalism. They had op-ed pages for that. A business paper that wants its readers to have straight-up info from experts that helps them understand the world

        And, yeah, definitely for the ruling class.

        Dems coulda looked like heroes if they just presented a clean bill that removed the slush fund. Instead they threw in a bunch of fantasy stuff that will never get through and the story is about how both sides are ridiculous.

        Luce and other FT journalists understand their beats enough to know what it looks like to juice the markets sufficiently for people/corporations/institutions who took a beating over recent weeks can cash out.

        If you listen to @EdwardGLuce on Deep State Radio you can tell he is shockingly progressive.
