During the Depression FDR took radical action to save millions of people; today the only radical action is to save huge multi-billion dollar companies. The physical destructiveness of Covid will be followed by financial destructiveness beyond our imagining if this does not change

FDR was no objective hero and came in with a team that helped him. He was also an E. Coast racist product of his class, much in the way Andrew Cuomo is now, allowing NY prisoners linger in jail with Covid19. Please get this right.

The U.S. Government must take radical action to create a plan for relief, recovery, and reform for those who are hit the hardest... as opposed to lining the pockets of huge corporations. The time to show some mercy and compassion for the most vulnerable is NOW.

Businesses will need large quantities of hypoallergenic nontoxic spray disinfectants & spray mister machines to sanitize their facilities & furnishings from the moment of opening until novel coronavirus is destroyed. These disinfectant supplies are out of stock; none for months!

The lock downs favor the multi billion dollar companies over small businesses you know. Right?

Maybe you should call up bernie and tell him to unsuspend them because trump and Biden are the same. Rapist corporatists who stand for none of us. #JoeBidenIsARapist #ComebackBernie

Why do you praise a man (FDR) who illegally incarcerated 150,000 Americans because of their ancestry ? No due process added on top of the racism.

FDR took radical action that resulted in the lengthening of the Depression by several years. Good intentions and stupidity are not a good combination.
