SNIPPET:

Quote
As millions upon millions of Americans lose their jobs in the greatest wave of unemployment in U.S. history, the Federal Reserve has decided that now is the time to spend trillions of newly created dollars in a desperate attempt to protect financial asset values.

In other words, as much of the country suddenly plunges into poverty, the Federal Reserve is working exceedingly hard to protect the wealth of the elite.

Record 🦕🦖 Oil Output Cuts Fail to Make Waves in Coronavirus-Hit Market

By Reuters on Apr 13, 2020 06:20 pm
🦖 Tanker at sea

By Florence Tan and Shadia Nasralla SINGAPORE/LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) – The minimal impact on oil prices from a global deal for record output cuts showed that oil producers have a mountain to climb if they are to restore market balance as the coronavirus shreds demand and sends stockpiles soaring, industry watchers said. After several […]  Read full story...

Agelbert NOTE: Meanwhile, every single DAY that the Hydrocarbon Hellspawn desperately try to put oil anywhere but on the market so they can sell their GLUT of "Supply" at jacked up prices when the Demand returns (They've done this CROOKED CRAP before, decades ago, by the way), is COSTING THEM BIG TIME in STORAGE FEES. All those tanker pigs out there floating around doing mostly nothing still require maintenance, provisions for the crew and so on. Yeah, the Fossil fuelers WILL try to visit we-the-people with these costs later on, plus a lot more marking up, so they can continue to buy politicians to hand them "subsidy" SWAG on our dime >:(. But hopefully, this HUGE hit on the Big Oil "business model" is the beginning of the end for them, it being that Renewable Energy is so much cheaper now, even without considering the murderous biosphere trashing pollution costs of fossil fuels

By Ira Breskin – Moderate production cuts announced Sunday by the world’s major crude oil producers should reduce what has been the critical need for floating storage used to warehouse excess production, and ease charter rates for storage vessels. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and 21 other oil producing nations agreed to reduce production by […]  Read full story...

Moreover, worldwide oil storage afloat could be maxed out if producers fail to better match supply and demand, according to Marsoft.

The Coronavirus Crisis Exposes How Fragile Capitalism Already Was
By Stephanie Luce, Labor Notes. When this is all over, will we be able to patch up the economy and get things back to normal? Trump certainly claims so. But he’s wrong. Weak attempts to patch up the problems of capitalism—as much as the coronavirus itself—are what got us into the current economic meltdown in the first place. Let’s define some terms. When we talk about the health of the economy, there are two parts: the “real economy,” which includes all the goods and services that we produce, and the “financial economy”: money, stock markets, banks, and credit. The coronavirus has affected the economy in stages: First... -more-

Agelbert NOTE: Exactly right. Anyone that thinks CAPITALISM is not THE PROBLEM is, of course, a CAPITALIST INTELLIMORON.

Agelbert NOTE: The unvarnished truth, as summarized by the following cartoon, was told by many for a LONG, LONG time. The "Greed is Good" Amen CAPITALIST CHORUS, as usual, did not listen. Now even a homeless person on a park bench puts COVID-19 fear in the heart of those greedy evil bastards.
