This guy is crowing about the DOW's best week (i.e. the rich and wealthy are getting some of their money back) while 16 million Americans have lost their jobs, healthcare insurance and financial stability. But let's celebrate because the stock portfolios of the rich are healing from a devastating blow brought on by the Covid-19 crisis.
This is why the first "stimulus bill" was pointed at corporations. They needed to stabilize the stock market so that the rich and powerful stay rich and powerful (see Senators adjusting their stock portfolios after finding out what the economic impact of the virus would be on the American economy). Don't worry, they'll eventually get around to everyone else, just like they eventually got around to fixing Obamacare. Oh, wait...

Is that sarcasm or an example of irony. Either way, I'm tired of facile cliches acting as an argument to allow the rich and powerful to screw everyone else while lying about how it will "incidentally" help everyone else when it never turns out that way.
Maybe my retirement account will recover some of its value.

Well if the only thing that was affected by this "crisis", that might be relevant. But to crow about that, as is occurring in the image, while literally millions are losing any semblance of economic security is at best, disgusting.
