  1. Just do something that will make you money whilst you sleep, no matter how little… This pandemic has been a perfect eye opener for us all to really see how life can be without your usual income stream. It's recommendable for you to have a side hustle…. The best thing you can do for yourself is to find a way to make money even while sleeping especially now we have to work and earn from home, Having different streams of making money is the solution to survive. And I've been doing that by investing in the stocks, bitcoin and dividends. I've earned impressive profits I can't mention here working with Mr. Young through his registered investment company. Kindly reach out to him via email linyoun56g@gmail or via
    Instagram @you_ngli .The rich see an economic crisis as the perfect time to invest, they're a step above others because they see an opportunity where others don’t

  2. Garbage analysis. Why do you never put numbers into context? Total initial jobs per pay rate at beginning of month versus end of month. Global trade with the US & other high viral case is going up? Maybe online retail, take-out restaurant, and corporate market trades (show me shares purchases of individuals versus businesses). "3rd world" countries have had cheaper products & services than US for years ..This is a bologna world.

  3. As a result of Russia Hoax, Faux Impeachment, 2020-CDC, Governors, Mayors, State Covid19 unprecedented unlawful mandates, businesses & people locked down, half capacity reopenings, blow up of unemployment, tanking of our economy, stupid masks that do not stop viruses, BLM & AntIFA riots, nonpeacefil protests, DNC, Regressives, paid Corporate liberal Media lies, horrible reporting, egging on racial division, violence, civil unrest, using our kids as an excuse for Covid agendas & lunacy…you have American citizens fed up!! A mass exodus from the Democratic & Progressive parties!! I want to thank everyone involved for getting President Trump re elected & Republicans in 2020.👣👣👣❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

  4. READ THE BIBLE!!!

    Repent and trust, believe, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior so that you can be saved from your sins and have everlasting life and inherit the kingdom of God.

    John 3:16 (KJV)

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    John 14:6 King James Version (KJV)

    6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    Romans 10:9-10 ESV

    Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

    Acts 2:38-39 ESV

    And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

    Acts 16:31

    They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

    Romans 10:13-15 (KJV)

    13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (KJV)

    9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
    10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

    Revelation 21:8 (KJV)

    8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    Matthew 24:6-7 King James Version (KJV)

    6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

    1 Thessalonians 5:3

    While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

    11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

    Matthew 24:14

    And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

    Revelation 1:7

    Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

    Matthew 24:44

    Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

    Philippians 2:10-11 King James Version (KJV)

    10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
    11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  5. I am really glad that more people are working and we are doing a little better but I'm also concerned because I know a lot of people only working 1/4 the hours they were previously so they are still broke and have no money for food, shelter, and healthcare and I truly am glad for the increase in jobs. Wall Street has nothing to do with main street and working class people. Also everyone I know is saving every penny they can to prepare for October and the second wave and the flu season and do not want to be in a bad position again. Also even if there is a vaccine by November or December it would take 9 months to a year to get everyone vaccinated and I don't know anyone that will get vaccinated right away and will wait until at least June or July.

  6. This year we need young healthy people for poll and election workers if you or someone you know is interested http://www.powerthepolls.org/TDS get directly involved in Democracy and make some money in these uncertain economic times.
    Register to vote today and ask for a mail ballot and fill out, sign, seal, and mail the next day or take to a secure drop box or take to the elections office or take to a polling place or if you vote in person WEAR A MASK!! Vote like your life depends on it, "Because it does." VOTE BLUE, VOTE BIDEN/HARRIS 2020!! Vote blue from local elections to the Presidency and bring back empathy, decency, leadership, and patriotism! Do not believe anything Trump or his Administration tells you and his Republican cultists say they care for no one but themselves and keeping power. G=greed O=over P=people is the Republican motto!

  7. Trump has run our economy into the gutter. Our debt has sky-rocketed because of trump's "tax break scam" bill. Before the virus outbreak we has record setting company bankruptcies that started we trump became president.

    On top of that thousands of American dying from the virus because of trump and the gop's non-action. Trump called the virus a hoax. Some one should tell that to Herman Cain.

  8. So sorry, but there is a myriad of shops and businesses that are either struggling and many have closed; Like Sweet Tomatoes, Soup Plantation, Soup Plantation, a variety of personal grooming places, a number of banks around where I live, and more. Not selling fear, but lets keep this real. I've 30 years in workforce development. I'm an expert, so please don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining or just sit there and blow smoke up my arse, suggesting things are getting better – they aren't.

  9. 😁😁😁😁ja ja ja. O were better. People are in line getting jobs. The people have eyes. Come on thinking lying thinking it will come true. OMG.
    Followers think we the people are crazy.
