Casinos and cruise lines deserving of government support but not NPR or AMTRAK. Idiocracy, the reality.

No. Remember the fat Corporate Trump tax cut? Remember how those corps proceeded to buy up their stock and artificially inflate prices while workers got squat? Remember how the Trump Admin royally screwed up our
#COVID19 response and the market crashed erasing all those gains? -
