    Economic inequality getting WORSE!

    The coronavirus pandemic has shown just how deeply rooted inequality
    is in the United States. While tens of millions of Americans have lost
    their jobs, billionaires in the United States have increased their wealth
    by a staggering $685 billion since mid-March.

    Currently, the main efforts of Congress and the Federal Reserve to deal
    with the economic meltdown caused by Covid-19 have been centered on
    injecting massive amounts of money into the economy, which has led to
    sharp rebounds in the financial markets.
    As a result, those with assets such as stocks and bonds have been the
    main beneficiaries of the government's largesse.
    This means that the wealth gap in the US has actually 
    gotten worse since the pandemic's onset!
    Basically, this has occurred because the vast majority of the equities
    owned by US households are held by those at the top, while those at
    the lower levels have virtually no financial assets at all.

     Worst Recession on Record

    (CNN Business) The world's top developed economies are all officially in a recession.
    What happens next is far from certain.
    On Friday, Canada joined France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the
    United States in reporting that its economy shrank dramatically in the first half of 2020
    due to the pandemic. Canadian economic output shrank by 11.5% between April and
    June, the sharpest decline in records dating back to 1961.

    Now, six months after the coronavirus outbreak began to accelerate rapidly outside China,
    it's increasingly clear that countries will not bounce back in tandem. The impact of the  
    virus, public health policy and stimulus measures are creating divergent paths forward,
    with ramifications that could last years.

    The United Kingdom has fared the worst of any of its big global peers, with its economy
    shrinking by more than a fifth between April and June.

    MGM Resorts is reportedly
    laying off 18,000 workers

    CNN Business, Fri August 28, 2020

    MGM Resorts is reportedly laying off 18,000 employees in response to coronavirus
    spreading across the United States and causing a near-total travel shutdown.
    The layoffs are effective beginning Monday and represent 25% of its 70,000-strong
    workforce.
    According to a letter from CEO Bill Hornbuckle obtained by The Wall Street Journal,
    the affected employees could be rehired if travel demand returns.
    They will also retain their health benefits  but only until the end of September.

    To put it simply, Las Vegas has been crushed by the coronavirus.
    The number of visitors declined 61% in July from a year ago, and its convention
    attendance  fell to zero, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

    Resorts have been reopening slowly since they were given the greenlight in June, but visitors
    don't have a ton of options to entertain themselves with because of the lack of shows,
    concerts and sporting events.
    MGM Resorts and its competitors also make a lot of money from conferences in Las Vegas,
    but hose have been put on hold because of local restrictions on large gatherings of people
    that would cause Covid-19 to spread.

    Hawaii tourist arrivals fall
    nearly 100% in July,
    state report says

    USA Today

    Tourist arrivals in Hawaii declined by almost 98% in July compared to a year ago,
    according to a report released Thursday by state officials.

    The Hawaii Tourism Authority said a total of 22,562 people traveled to the state
    in July by air. That number was 995,210 in 2019.

    Most of the visitors in July traveled from the U.S. mainland,
    with only about 2,000 international travelers.
    The total number of arrivals for the first seven months of 2020 dropped nearly 65%.

    For the record,

    South Korea -- which is right next door to CHINA !  --
    got its first case of covid-19 on the very same day as the US.

    Here's a comparison of how it was handled by each government
    despite all the 'happy talk' being gushed by Dr.Death trump:

    S.Korea death toll from covid-19 =           313    (6 deaths per million pop)
    American deaths from covid-19  = 182,650   (549 deaths per million pop)

    Biden hands trump a beatdown
    in convention speech ratings

    CNN
    Biden's campaign celebrated the overnight ratings win -- and embraced it
    as a potential way to get under Trump's skin.

    The president's ratings obsession is well-documented. He has tweeted about
    ratings hundreds of times, often inaccurately. He raised the subject as recently
    as Friday morning, when he tweeted,
    "Great Ratings & Reviews Last Night. Thank you!"
    He did not share any immediate reaction when the initial viewership
    figures showed him trailing Biden.

    The US is adding back jobs.
    But the recovery could take years

    By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business

    London (CNN Business) Economists are worried that the tepid recovery in the US job market
    could run out of steam this fall should coronavirus cases surge again just as federal stimulus
    money runs out.
    What's happening: The US government is expected to report Friday that just under
    1.4 million jobs were added in August. That would bring the total number of
    recovered jobs up to roughly 10.8 million.
    This would account for just half of what was shed in March and April.

    Airlines and hospitality sectors are in particular crisis.

    New York (CNN Business)  President Trump pledged to create 10 million jobs
    in less than a year. That's a great goal, but with Covid-19 still not under control and the
    unpredictable path of the economic recovery, these job gains might be hard to come by.

    "We will create 10 million jobs in the next 10 months," 
    Trump said during his speech at the Republican National Convention.

    It's important to note these are unlikely to be NEW jobs.
    Most jobs that will appear over the next year will just replace those
    that were lost  since Covid-19 hit the United States.


    More than 22 million jobs vanished this spring
    as a result of the pandemic lockdown,
    the worst job loss on record, and
    the unemployment rate peaked at 14.7% in April.

    The economy has since slowly added back more than 9 million jobs.

    It's also notable that even with Trump's promised 10 million created jobs, the US
    economy would still have nearly 3 million FEWER positions than it had in February!

    Trump's Republican National Convention
    was a ratings flop

    President Donald Trump never ceases to be status-obsessed and often tweets that
    his foes and adversaries fall short when it comes to ratings, crowd size and other
    things he uses to measure worth.

    The final night of the 2020 RNC, according to Los Angeles Times reporter
    Stephen Battaglio, had "an average audience of 21.6 million viewers" —
    whereas former Vice President Joe Biden's acceptance speech at the DNC
    attracted 24.6 million viewers.

    Mike Pence's speech attracted "an estimated 17.3 million viewers,"
    while Democrat Kamala Harris attracted 22.8 million.

    trump admin

    sends thousands of PPP loans
    to small businesses that should not have received them


    USA TODAY
    WASHINGTON – Thousands of Paycheck Protection Program loans meant for
    small businesses bludgeoned by the coronavirus pandemic were awarded
    improperly to firms that already had received a PPP loan or were barred
    from doing business with the federal government, a House oversight
    committee concluded in a report released Tuesday.

    The report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis
    examined the Trump administration's dissemination of more than
    5.2 million PPP loans totaling $525 billion since April.

    ** Some 10,000 loans totaling more than $1 billion went to companies
         that received more than one PPP loan, a violation of the program.
    ** More than 600 loans totaling about $96 million were given to firms
         that have been excluded from doing business with the government because
         they've been "debarred or suspended" from receiving federal contracts.

    As election looms,
    Russian trolls are targeting
    Americans ...... again

    Tue September 1, 2020

    People associated with the infamous St. Petersburg troll group that was part of
    Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election are trying to
    target Americans again, Facebook (FB) announced Tuesday after receiving
    a tip from the FBI.

    This is the first publicly available evidence that people connected to the
    Russian troll group, which is known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA),
    are attempting to meddle with the 2020 election and stir discord.

    "This looks like an early-stage attempt to target left-wing audiences on a
    range of issues," Ben Nimmo, head of investigations at Graphika, a social
    media analytics company commissioned by Facebook to study the influence
    operation.
    "The [US] election wasn't the only focus," he said, noting that the content
    had gained little traction online, "but it looks like the operation wanted to
    divide Democratic voters, the same way the IRA tried in 2016."

    New York (CNN Business)The US airline industry needs to shrink its labor costs by
    as much as 50% to survive -- and even then it's possible some carriers
    don't make it through the crisis, United Airlines Executive Chairman Oscar Munoz.

    "The stark reality of what we're facing is dire," Munoz said in an exclusive interview.
    Munoz, estimates the collapse of air travel during the pandemic will force airlines
    to slash their payroll costs by a staggering 30% to 50%.
    That translates to tens of thousands of lost jobs.

    Last week, American Airlines (AAL) said it will lay off or involuntarily furlough
    19,000 workers as of October 1.
    In July, United Airlines warned that 36,000 employees could be furloughed this fall.

    Four countries - located in very close proximity to CHINA ! -
    who each got their first case of covid about the same day as USA.

    Here's how each government responded:

    Hong Kong death toll =              92        (   12 per million)
    S. Korean death toll =              326        (    6 per million)
    Japan death toll =                  1,307       (   10 per million)

    The stock market thinks
    Joe Biden is going to win

    CNN Business

    It turns out a basket of stocks that could fare well in a Biden presidency have been
    outperforming the overall market.

    According to data from Strategas that was shared with CNN Business, a group of
    infrastructure, renewable energy, pro-globalization, health care and cannabis
    stocks are up more than 10% since early June.

    Meanwhile, a group of oil and fossil fuel producers, big defense contractors and
    bank stocks tracked by Strategas that might do better under a second Trump term
    is down 9% in the past three months.

    This is no guarantee of a Biden win. The stock market notoriously underestimated
    and misjudged Trump's chances against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

    Other experts also think Wall Street is signaling that it expects Biden to win,
    and that this could be a good thing for the continued economic recovery.

    It is not Trump's fault when it drops a ton. It is only his stock market on the good days. I think it's quite comical how the Trump slurpers think he is solely responsible for success of stock market. Shows how little they truly know about trading, and that they are NOT invested in the market at all. an_cheers
