One day after imposing a 5-day ultra-strict lockdown set to take effect over Easter weekend (presumably to head off any holiday-inspired spread), German Chancellor Angela Merkel has abandoned the plan, though Germany is still planning to extend its current restrictions through April 18.
Back in the day, when I was managing editor at the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Mont., I enjoyed the end-of-year ritual of voting in the Associated Press’s poll of the Top 10 news stories.
For the first time, millions of Americans waited in food bank lines this year, unlike anything seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
According to AP, as the pandemic rages on, with more than 20 million still claiming unemployment benefits, food banks are dishing out more meals than ever.

England started its second covid lockdown on Thursday amid concerns of the virus pandemic’s reemergence over September and October has resulted in soaring hospital admissions across the country.

“You know all those lockdowns you were doing? You know, the ones that caused all that harm and suffering? Well, relax – we’ve changed our minds …”

The WHO could already see what was happening as a result of the lockdowns globally. Poverty-as-a-result-of-lockdown (not to mention the destruction of our civil liberties) has been evident for several months. Independent economists like Prof. Michel Chossudovsky have been saying this for some time. Why wait until now?
If readers want more evidence that the current economic system is rigged against the working-poor, well, look no further: New Federal Reserve data shows how these monetary wizards exacerbated the wealth gap during the virus pandemic via unprecedented quantitative easing programs.
