Dems should demand a public list of which companies got stimulus money and why? There are tons of small angry business owners who got nothing as big businesses and the politically connected ate it. Be capitalistic and give it to consumers and let them pick where to use it. At least it will help Americans.

As for stimulus plans, I hope it pays for vaccine and treatments for the Corona virus at least.

Bitcoin may be headed to uncharted territory as replication comes to an end. Who pays for transactions then? Bitcoin will itself become more restrictive in multiplying than gold or any currency. This may lead to more cryptos being made which tends to cause their prices to drop because it is a synthetic/substitute depreciation that is happening to all crypto currencies. And it's already expensive with few people using it for exchange undermining its use as a currency.

That said, dollar devaluation will still happen, pushing up all assets that don't depreciate.

I would not say takeoff. Especially, if Biden also holds International trade back, especially China trade. Global trade needs to increase once again to help spark a global growth pattern again. Vaccines are part of, not the whole cure.

There will be 3 vaccines to select from, all that will not have enough given production issues and potentially restrictions on distribution by the US. The Philippines and others get it that they need treatments for those infected and drugs that kill the virus. It has progressed far past just a limited amount of drugs to prevent the spread of further infections.

They cut back a few underperforming branches which scared some investors and opened some on military bases and other locations. The article covers their model movement towards kitchen/restaurantless only locations.

They already announced store openings. That's partially why the stock has rebounded.

This is the good news for tomorrow. Also there should be good news out of the UK sooner or later. Probably sooner as they are concerned about those with the Corona who are dying as well as the spread of Corona.

Sadly the costs for starting and running a business keep growing. The move to large companies started well before the Covid epidemic. What we need is flatter and lower corporation and sole proprietor taxation and more equal taxation for wealthy companies. We also need to stop bureaucracy making it harder and harder to compete with big businesses and stay open.

Sadly a lot of people are unaffected by lower credit rates because lots of their debt has high rates that don't drop with interest rates like credit card debt which was rising. People are getting desperate. The rest are lowering their risk by paying off debt and saving. I think this is creating habits of permanence. Don't expect increased wild spending anytime soon from consumers.
