Businesses have pocketed so much extra money and refused to pay sick employees making them use PTO it's disgusting. What sort of business goes into business without saving earnings for uncertain economic future? Makes no sense. All hospitals should be operating as non profits but unfortunately some are for profit. This nightmare has done nothing to protect the working class, and everything to enhance business small and large.

Clearly, you have never run a business. If you admit that you have no idea what you are talking about, then you will find that things will be more open to your understanding.

"What sort of business goes into business without saving earnings for uncertain economic future?"

The majority of businesses are small businesses, and they employ the majority of people. Starting up a business is a very expensive proposition- many business plans show the first number of years in the "red". If the business is run right, and turns out it provides something desired, it can turn this around quickly. But then along comes the government, holding out its hand for "its" cut, plus all the expenses to deal with the onerous, and often useless, government regulations.

In spite of the imgflip liberals' insistence that "tax cuts for the rich" only benefit the rich, what you are saying is that the "rich" aren't saving enough (riches) in order to take care of their employees.

Businesses and true unemployment have not been better in decades than during Trump's tenure. History shows, repeatedly, that nothing is worse for the working class than having Democrats in control.

You are right to say that the last two+ years of liberal policies surrounding Covid have benefitted large business, though. For some reason, we could all go and cram ourselves into Walmart to 'share' Covid, but small businesses were hit hard with the lockdowns and mandates. Why would all of those Democrats mayors, governors, and president push for policies that harm the largest employment sector, small business, if they are the Party of the working class?

The answer is simple- they are not. And if they didn't have the MSM in their back pocket, more people would see this. Of course, it is still their fault they believe the propaganda, IN SPITE of what they are personally experiencing daily.

Business 101 You don't go into business without realizing that it has the potential to fail. It all depends on the business type, target markets, location, and financial responsibility. I understand that most business owners start off in debt, but at least they have the resources to start a business. Now today anyone can start their own business, and receive forgivable PPP loans for their online Esty shop. The main thing is that nobody should go into business expecting the government to hand out tons of money which was to be spent on employees, and then in return pocket it. I think the issue at hand here is that hospitals were making money on people who were testing positive for covid. Its like charging a insurance company for a doctor that walk in a room to look at the clock on the wall. The federal government is notorious for shelling out money to entities who take advantage of them. Trump introduced it and Biden Extended it. So weather or not their is someone to blame I think it is the lack of giving it to the people who could then spend the money into the economy verses shelling it out to business who have taken advantage of the system. This whole libtard definition is stupid because most people who see the big picture are neither democrats or republicans, Not to long ago the government bailed out the car companies, Gave them enough money to make every car free. Did you get a Free car? Jobs were lost in the retail industries when the internet changed shopping, and Retailers filed bankruptcy and closed shop, there was no bail out for them, people lost their jobs. If the economy is ever going to change it starts with supply and demand, if people knew when to stop buying stuff all the time, then it would drive down demand. Manufactures are notorious for manipulating the supply and demand chain in the market. Sure Covid didn't help the situation but it has taught the lesson that nothing is for certain, never was and never will be

I will sum up my agreement with all you just said by stating that you just made an excellent argument to get government out of our business in general, and return it to the form of limited government originally created. Politicians in general, and especially liberal politicians, love big government, because all of that money flying around allows them to grab a lot for themselves.

The government is needed to protect the consumers, but when they can't do that what is the point. I have a love hate relationship towards the government because the laws in the united states use to benefit the people when something goes wrong, today the companies and entities are protected by the laws. State laws go against Federal laws and theirs nobody abiding the law when something goes wrong. This to happens a lot in the medical field. Issues upon issues upon issues and for some reason they all seem to be political. I want to believe that the governments main job was to protect it's citizens when things go wrong but those days are over. So I will leave it at that.
