The Rich Getting Richer By James Reed

While small businesses have been crushed by the CCP virus, Covid-1984, big business has been booming. It seems these monsters always do well on human misery. It makes me apocalyptical, wishing for a 1,000 km killer asteroid to strike the earth, and just to be sure, have it made of strange matter:

Let’s see if they could make a buck out of that disaster, when their elementary particles are cooked.

“As we have continued to document, Central Bank "responses" to the Covid pandemic have done little for lower and middle class Americans and continue to disproportionately enrich the already wealthy. 

Further evidence of how the Fed's flawed policies work, in action, came from the Institute for Policy studies and Americans For Tax Fairness, who yesterday issued a press release noting that 10 months into the Covid crisis, America's billionaires have seen their wealth rise 40%, or $1.1 trillion. 

Using March 18th as a starting point for the pandemic, the release offers up similar stunning numbers to those that we have been covering since 2020. 

"Not much has changed for America’s billionaires in the midst of the crisis—except the further swelling of their bank balances," the release says. "The combined fortune of the nation’s 660 billionaires as of Monday, January 18, 2021 was $4.1 trillion, up 38.6% from their collective net worth of just under $3 trillion on March 18, 2020, the rough start of the pandemic."

"At $4.1 trillion, the total wealth of America’s 660 billionaires is two-thirds higher than the $2.4 trillion in total wealth held by the bottom half of the population, 165 million Americans," the release notes.

Among the usual suspects were:

• Elon Musk’s wealth grew by over $154 billion, from $24.6 billion on March 18 to $179.2 billion on Jan. 18, a nearly eight-fold increase, boosted by his Tesla stock. The boost in wealth of the SpaceX founder over the past 10 months is more than twice that of any other billionaire. That $154 billion growth in wealth is also about seven times NASA’s $22.6 billion budget in FY2020, the federal agency Musk has credited with saving his company with a big federal contract when the firm’s rockets were failing and it faced bankruptcy.
• Jeff Bezos’s wealth grew from $113 billion on March 18 to $182 billion, an increase of 61%. Adding in his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott’s wealth of $55 billion on Jan. 18, the two had a combined wealth of almost a quarter of a trillion dollars thanks to their Amazon stock. If Bezos’s $68.6 billion growth in wealth was distributed to all his 810,000 U.S. employees, each would get a windfall bonus of almost $85,000 and Bezos would not be any “poorer” than he was 10 months ago.
• Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth grew from $54.7 billion on March 18 to $92 billion, an increase of over two-thirds fueled by his Facebook stock.”

Don’t despair, I am sure the ordinary folk are going to rise up against this, just like they did with the open, spit-in-your face 2020 USA electoral fraud. Have faith in human nature!
