"Coronavirus Coincidence: Billionaires Got Way Richer While You Were Driven Into Poverty"
>>We can assure you, this is all a gigantic coincidence.
>>Coronavirus is definitely not a massive hoax designed to destroy the middle class and further consolidate all wealth in the hands of a small minority of elites.
>>The fact that coronavirus turned out to be a complete hoax is unrelated to the wealth transfer. It was literally all a gigantic accident and a misunderstanding that just happened to – by sheer coincidence – make these rich people way richer while destroying your life.
>>Also, please understand that the fact that this was promoted by Bill Gates, a billionaire who also benefited from it personally, is also pure coincidence. He just thought he was helping. Everyone makes mistakes.
Daily Star:
The coronavirus pandemic has directly cost some 500,000 lives. But the damage it has wreaked on the world economy will cost many more.
In America, the unemployment rate in April was 14.7%, up from just 4.4% in March. In real terms that’s at least 44 million people laid off. Between March 29 and April 4 alone, 6.6 million Americans registered as unemployed.
More than 27 million Americans stand to lose their employer-provided healthcare coverage as a result of the pandemic, at a time when they might need it most.
But it’s not affecting all Americans equally. The wealth of the very richest has soared during the pandemic.
America’s top five billionaires – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison – enjoyed a 26% surge in their wealth since the outbreak began. Between them they’ve gained over a hundred billion dollars.
Amazon’s business has been booming with most of America cooped up at home and according to figures from Forbes, boss Jeff Bezos is worth 38.6% more – an extra $43.7 billion – between March 18 and June 17.
Because they’re spending more time at home, Americans are also spending more time online.
It’s no coincidence that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg added some $32 billion to his fortune over the three-month lockdown period.
Twelve other US billionaires have doubled their fortunes since the start of the pandemic.
Trevor Milton owns the other eco-friendly company named after inventor Nikola Tesla.
Nikola Corporation specialises in hybrid trucks, including the Nikola Reckless military-grade all-electric tactical off-road vehicle.
Milton’s fortune is estimated to be five times what it was at the beginning of the year, at some 7.2 billion dollars.
A number of the other “poorer” billionaires, such as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, saw similar large increases in wealth.
Dorsey went from $2.6 billion in June to over $5.6 billion by the end of June.
Frank Clemente, the Executive Director of pressure group Americans for Tax Fairness, commented: “This orgy of wealth shows how fundamentally flawed our economic system is.”
He continued: “In three months about 600 billionaires increased their wealth by far more than the nation’s governors say their states need in fiscal assistance to keep delivering services to 330 million residents.
“Their wealth increased twice as much as the federal government paid out in one-time checks to more than 150 million Americans.
“If this pandemic reveals anything,” he added, “it’s how unequal our society has become and how drastically it must change.”
>>No, no – this doesn’t matter.
>>There is nothing here that needs to change.
>>What needs to change is that the same middle class that was driven into poverty because of this virus hoax needs to be made to suffer because they are white. They have to be punished even more, because of the cops or whatever.
>>We have to make them suffer worse than anyone has ever suffered, because of the systematic abuses of the cops and the hatred of the blacks that they have benefited from in history.
>>We must tear down their monuments. We must take whatever wealth they have left.
>>Focusing on billionaires instead of random people from the middle class is what the whites want you to do – and thus it is that any attack on billionaires is actually part of the racist system.
