    1. When did Congress take over pay authority for the country? "You can bet is their paycheck stopped." What does that even mean? Try to write in coherent, understandable thoughts.

  6. Then comes evictions, foreclosures,repose and real estate to crash. Automobile dealers with close because banks with not loan. Sports are already in the red and layoffs for journalists are coming. The domino effect is coming but light at the end of the tunnel is Joe Biden said law enforcement are good and China bad so I’m guessing the riots will stop now.

  11. 8:06 is on track (intended).

    Business is down for Amtrack since their prime patron SlowJoe stopped riding the rails in favor of sequestering himself in his C'mon, Man Cave taping segments of Delaware Dementia Today for his YewToob channel.
