Progressives are economically illiterate.

These people incorrectly call the Families First Coronavirus Response Act a "corporate bailout," and they said the US should've instead paid 80 percent of workers' salaries.
That would've GUARANTEED that a massive number of companies went out business.
That would've GUARANTEED that a massive number of companies went out business.
And THAT would mean that the ENTIRE WORKFORCE of each company lost their jobs.
Why is that?
Because WAGES are only PART of a company's operating expenses.
How can people not know this?

About 73 percent of American private companies are in the service sector.
But the RANGE of services is almost unlimited.
Depending on your field, from 30 to 80 percent of your operating expenses can be payroll.

For all other industries, it's between 15 and 30 percent. https://smallbusiness.chron.com/percentage-budget-should-spent-payroll-64862.html
So if we adopted the progressive plan, the government would NOT be making loans to cover all other operating expenses.
If you can't pay 20 percent of your operating expenses, you go out of business, and EVERYONE IN THE COMPANY loses their job.

The progressive plan will take us back to the Obama years, when we had a record number of people on welfare and disability.
I used to think that this is what progressives, but now I understand that they simply don't think beyond the implementation of their obsessions.

"We need to do THIS" is as far as they go.
That's why they argue so vehemently against policies that help people.
It's not that they don't understand capitalism; it's that the concept doesn't even enter their brains.

I once knew a guy who forced me to meet his failed-screenwriter sister.
She asked me to read a screenplay she'd written, and it was like a joke.
It was so horrible that it couldn't be fixed. The story was about an Iranian-American spy who infiltrated the evil US government.

A female spy.
The screenwriter wrote at about a fourth-grade level, and she had no factual knowledge about any subject.
I just corrected a few misspellings and sent her one her way.
But she was a socialist.

She wrote to me about a British "socialist" who died. I can't remember his name.
He was a multi-billionaire with a house that covered an entire city block in London.
I asked her how a billionaire could call himself a socialist.

I asked her how a billionaire could call himself a socialist.
"He's for the people." she said.
"But he hasn't DONE anything for the people," I said. "All he does is talk. Why does he live in that colossal house?"
"He can have nice things. Being a socialist doesn't mean he has to deprive himself."

"Why doesn't he use £8 billion of his fortune to actually make a difference? That would leave him with £2 billion."
"OKAY. HE'S A HORRIBLE PERSON. HAPPY?"
Yes, in all caps.
She stopped writing to me.

There's no actual thought involved.
Since they don't know how anything works, they're like Stone Age people who think cameras are magic.
Socialism is magic. Period.
And that's why they support policies that demolish the working class.

I heard older black voters say about Biden, "He stood up for us, so we'll stand up for him."
Biden didn't stand up for anyone except for his corrupt family and China.
Under Obama, the black middle class almost disappeared.

But no amount of explaining will change these peoples' minds.
It's because in a very real sense, they don't have a mind.
Ever experienced "highway hypnosis"? You get home without really remembering the details of your drive?

I keep coming back to the call I got from the New Yorker who lied to me about having COVID-19 and blaming Trump for not allowing him to be tested.
Just for fun, I challenged him for the first time.

We got online together, and I debunked every single leftist talking point.
He never ONCE admitted to being wrong. All he did was move to the next talking point.
When he ran out, he simply started over.

He absolutely denied that Biden has any cognitive issues, and he said that Biden has a long list of incredible accomplishments.
"Name one," I said.
"I don't have time to educate you."

It changed everything.

I had leftists all wrong.
The vast majority of them don't think about anything beyond the implementations of their policies.
And the ones at the top are simply in it for the power. Hence the billionaire "socialists."

COVID-19 is the worst thing that ever happened to the US.
And @realDonaldTrump has it beat.
When this is over, people will be stunned.
Muscle memory will take over. Companies will reopen, and everyone sane will see that Trump can handle ANYTHING.

Watch it happen.
