He couldn’t out spend his opponent so he’s funneling all his cash into fake news. Another failed strategy.

The incentives were there for employees to blag they had covid, so they did, to get 2 weeks off

1.4% out of its 1.37 million frontline workers are tested positive, which is below the nationwide proportion of 2.2%. I wonder if Amazon did a good job or is there something fishy…

Was Covid19 deliberately mixed in with the air of packaging materials for international flights from CCP?

If you have any respiratory inflammation or symptoms or sickness you are labeled as covid-19 even though there is no test for the Wuhan virus.

They’re getting to rollin some new tech in the warehouses, this is just an excuse to remove people. They did the same when they got the new robotic cherry picker arm. Horrible reporting by the way Bloombust.

Buy no brainer bullet proof cash rich companies: I bought Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Wells Fargo,
Netflix, CRM, Lululemon
TRUST THE PROCESS. The stock market goes up in the long term because it takes 2 steps forward for every 1 step backward.
There’s a lot of money on the sidelines, and new 401K money
