CRIMINAL RULING CLASS

The economic situation is dire and is deteriorating. Former Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen said in a CNBC interview on Monday that the US is in the midst of an “absolutely shocking” downturn. Unemployment is as high as 13 percent, Yellen estimated, and the overall contraction of the US economy is already at 30 percent.

Yellen’s views were seconded by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who, in his annual shareholder letter released on Monday, wrote that he expects a “bad recession.” According to Dimon, the gross domestic product could fall as much as 35 percent in the second quarter, and the downturn will probably last through the rest of the year.

DIEGO DIEZ—How did Biden win? Well, here in Chicago Sanders hasn’t campaigned much. This month he held a big rally at Grant Park in the centre of the city. Ten thousand people (of course it was much more than this official MSM figure – I saw it), a huge US flag, “socialism with American jingoist characteristics” to the non-believers/socialist militants, perhaps. Biden however, is supposed to hold a rally at Malcolm X College. It may be cancelled due to Coronavirus.

ERIC ZUESSE—As for Democrats who don’t understand what a neocon or shill even is, they’d do both the Party and the nation a favor by entirely avoiding to vote, at all, and letting the Party’s progressives take over the Party, so as to win the war, to restore democracy to America and advance it further in the progressive direction.
