Yep they expect every small business owner who's barely scraping by to get these low interest loans from banks to survive. But these multibillion-dollar companies can't do the same thing?

She has a good point. The corona crisis would be a good time to get rid of all this tax-evasive behaviour. Maybe finally Europe the the US can work together in proper taxation, instead of each side protecting "their" companies for the damage of everybody.

Fair enough!

OMG, THIS.

It's because they are publicly traded and focus mainly on shirt term profits to increase share price. Doing so requires them to be leveraged heavily. Go pull a 10K report for any large business and look at how much cash they have compared to total assets. You can see it on the balance sheet under the financial reports section. Mist large companies hold less than 5% of total assets in cash.

Yes and I have no issue with that. These companies make obscene profits in other territories whilst exploiting their infrastructure and talent . They should contribute in taxes to each country they make a profit in.

I've always wanted to pay politicians double the minimum wage and force them to pay for medicine and retirement out of pocket.

It seems to dawn on the American people that the American dream is really just a dream. And maybe even that social security is not communism.

And isn't it strange that those now cry loudest for help that rallied against labour laws, market control etc. and called it "socialist"? They now willingly accept the state utilizing them or even buying shares. You either want a strong state or not; a "comprehensive cover" state that does not interfer in good times but backes up in bad times is the epithomy of unsolidary thinking!

Tell me pls this is some very bad joke.

That is absolutely disgraceful.

First of all it's appalling to treat people this way... could at the VERY least supply camp beds and proper bivvy/sleeping bags. And secondly, the spaces are far too small and the distance between people too small- it's as if they want the virus to spread.

I am sure the homeless feel so much safer now

They should put up a sign nearby: "Stay healthy!"

How full is the strip right now? Isn't this one of the world's highest concentrations of hotels in the world

The reason this happens is because taxes are being raised, company's are becoming more greedy and not paying their staff enough. Especially in fast food restaraunts. Many homeless people have jobs, they just aren't payed enough for the work they do.

The homeless rate is terrible in America. This is real.. People that don't make a dime honestly don't matter. They are considered worse then trash.

Here in New Orleans our homeless are being sheltered in French Quarter hotels.

That is disgusting

Yeah go after the private corporations that have to answer to stock holders and ignore the Churches that don't pay taxes and supposedly model Christian Values...... Bet Joel Osteen and his ilk are living large in their mansions during all this..... he was super good about opening his church to hurricane victims!

even in the squares, they aren't technically social distancing. They could sleep on the edge of the square for example.

First, that is not a good way to help the homeless. Second, they're still too close.

Not to mention they’re completely useless as ppl are still sleeping less than 6ft apart...

why not use the empty hotels? at least let them have an abandoned building??

This is the America way.. The 'great' country..

I hear the bordellos have lots of beds. They should offer free service to these poor men to boot.

Vote Democrat and all this could soon be yours.

Weren't "simple solutions" the answer of Trump for everything since he became president?

And people need to legitimately boycott these places. There's just no way people are going to boycott Amazon though. They're doing interviews all over the country and hurting people into one room and going against all social distancing initiatives yet they're not getting fined or anything else. But if I had 10 people gathered on my porch I could get arrested and fined

Amazon = Evil

The people that give all that money are the same people that are saying that their people should go back to work. But only if they seem healthy and under 55 years old or so. They don't give a s*** about anyone but the 1%.

How about we get rid of billionaires altogether. No one needs that much money.

Slowly, this series gets only sad, not humourously critical...

With an education, you might have understood the odds of actually becoming rich. This is why the rich do not want the poor educated, and how people stay conditioned this way. The american dream is lie perpetuated by the few successfull...

American airline can bite me.

And the worker who organized it got fired. Jeff bezos is the biggest piece of s*** in the entire world.

Airlines are such greedy companies squeezing money out of every little thing they possibly can, and now they expect the customers' help and loyalty. Maybe be reasonable and treat your customers better and people would have more interest in saving your business

Actually, I suspect about $5K will kick right back to each Congress member...

Scandalous and sickening...

On $1,200.00 I can't afford to waste food. That Cheetos is being eaten.

That's it! And everyone questioning it will simple be called "socialist" or "snowflake". However, nearly everyone is being cheated on.

Haha, and this in a country with like 10 unpaid holiday days in total (25+ paid in Europe, just for relation).

However, capitalism doesn't prevent bailouts of private corporations
