are run by slumlord Uber Rich, oligarchs as their "Cash Cows"..........just wait for them to figure out who/what caused their income to be obliterated.

That is the same thing that Countless U.S. Corporations will finally "wake" up to as their businesses crash as a direct result of the RepubliCon party THEY helped put in place with massive campaign donations...........

an example is the current Soy Bean farmers that didn't learn the first time.....of course Trump bailed them all out for his disastrous tariff on China for soybeans.
Trump scrambled and made the farmers whole again, spending 60 billion......of course many of those bailed out were "Corporate Farms"
