American billionaires are now nearly 20% richer — by $565 billion, to be exact — than they were at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies.
Six billionaires, including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Zoom's Eric Yuan, have seen their net worths grow by more than $2 billion each since March, according to the think tank's analysis of Forbes' Billionaires List.
The coronavirus crisis has been an economic disaster for the rest of America, as an unprecedented 42.6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits in the past 11 weeks.
The job losses have disproportionately affected black Americans, and the country's racial wealth gap has just kept on growing. The Washington Post reports the gap is in many ways unimproved — and in other ways worse — since 1968, when a host of historic civil rights legislation was passed.

Just another example of rich Republicans exploiting the poor and... hey, wait a minute....

NOOO STOP, YOU CANT JUST POINT OUT REALITY USING SARCASAM LIKE THAT NOOOOOO.
Bezos being a bag of ***is hardly news.
Musk is... probably a libertarian? He's definitely not a Democrat.
The Zoom guy is a CCP puppet who no one knew ***about until 'Ronafest 2020, so who the hell knows what his agenda is.
I mean, your point is not lost on me, but none of those dudes can even charitably be described as "left".
I'd point out that Gates could probably qualify here, but I'm pretty sure he'd inject me with his mind control vaccine if he found out about it.
If you aren't alllllllll the way off the chart right, you're left.
Aliens? The left.
Sea creatures? The left.
Inanimate objects? The left.
Boogeyman? The left.
Abominable snowmen? The left.
Bigfoot? The left.
Nessy? The left.
Cats and Dogs? The left.
Goldfish? The left.

They are all Democrats and are quite public about being so.
Now you can argue about their personal beliefs vs party platform all you want, ultimately they support Hillary Biden and push towards more Democrats in elected positions. I mean Islamic Extremists are Democrats now and those guys don't exactly go with the party platform outside of "Muslims are Awesome" and "Death to all Christians".

To be fair, all my post did was point out that they’re not obviously Republicans (which historically has been the stereotype). Your point is not lost on me either, but it’s not in reference to anything I said.

In five years, Alex Jones will be seen as a centrist.
i have a Tshirt that says "ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT", and a rainbow colored frog on the back. The number of times i've had to wear that shirt because alex jones was actually right about something FAR to many times in the last few years.
Guy is chasing you with a knife, tell him to hold, while you are on hold with the police. 10 minutes later when they arrive, you are bleeding out, still on hold.
Look I know you're happy to meme and just complain about scenarios.
Instead of being like, oh god someone needs to come save me and kill the bad man with a knife. How about you ask why he was the knife in the first place.
You don't go a stabbin' for funsies. Police are an after the problem already happened "solution". They're pain killers instead of surgery.
You step on a nail and you don't just eat oxy for the rest of your life and leave the nail there...

Never has a meme been more relevant.
