USPS Crisis During Pandemic; and Banking On The People: Attorney Ellen Brown

During the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. postal workers have been considered essential workers who continue to perform their jobs. Yet the Postal Service is in imminent danger of shutting down entirely due to lack of funding. A permanent shutdown of this quasi-government agency would leave hundreds of thousands out of work, and threaten privatization of a beloved and venerable institution.

There are so many zeros in $6 trillion that the number when written down stretches from one side of the page to the other. Six trillion if divided up and given to each American worker would mean that each one of them would have gotten tens of thousands of dollars. But instead most of the money went to the hedge funds, banks, and big corporations. The average American got very little. Small businesses got very little and are now pressured to open up. State and municipal governments received very little. Millions of people got nothing at all.
