1/ $500B in bailout money went to big businesses who weren't even required to pay their workers with it. So it amounts to a bailout for only the stockholder class, while millions of others are thrown crumbs on which it's almost impossible to live.

2/ I feel compassion for people protesting to go back to work, when they see no other way to pay for rent and feed their families. The irony is that they're protesting people trying to save their lives, when who they should be protesting are those who are destroying their lives.

Congress is completely corrupt; this is what happens when politicians spend 24/7 dialing for dollars.

Our company is still waiting for our Paycheck Protection Loan to be funded, suppose to fund within 10 days, I hope so, on day 6. We鈥檝e been able to operate & pay our employees, so very thankful & fortunate repair shops are essential. Our income was disrupted but not our expenses.

There's never a question about where the money will come from when it has to do with large corporations. When it comes to helping the American people, that's the first one asked. --even by the American people.

Tbh, if states would get it together regarding unemployment payments, the majority of those now suffering would be fine. In CA it was 6 weeks into shutdown before I could even apply, requiring 2 hrs reloading pgs to complete 15 min process. 10 days later, still no word.

This is what your government did for you. Not just @realDonaldTrump, not just @GOP, it鈥檚 the @DNC and the whole lot of Washington politicians supporting #WallStreetBankers and #StockMarket over American citizens. Notice that @JoeBiden is not complaining either. #Disgusting

Assert your rights! It will help us to do our part. Experts serve at the request of the people, or any other authority they designate. We already tried: 1. The Congress 2. The Military 3. The media 4. Collective warning with experts of other fields 5. Appealing to the people
