(1318) Making money during COVID

The last time the state gave out stimulas cheques of $750, the line of cars around the McD drive through wound unceasingly from 10.30am to 7.50 pm. It was seldom that the line did not reach the nearest roundabout. One lunch time I counted 17 delivery men(Food Panda and Grab) all lined up in a row. That went on for at least two weeks.

Now the momentum is building again. I am beginning to see long lines outside of meal times. This morning I counted 12 delivery men waiting for orders to go. Yesterday the waiting men numbered 16 for lunch. Well! Well! Well! The much touted cheques of $300 must have started to go into the earlier receipients' bank accounts. The suceeding amounts are for purchasing essential food for the unemployed. One wonders how it is finding its way to an already rich fast food franchisee.

Now I see how the rich will become richer, even in terrible times. During the war it was the armament manufacturers laughing to the bank. Now with COVID, it would be fast food drive through and pharmaceutical conglomerates raking it in.
