"K-shaped" economic recovery

An economic recovery in which the wealthiest benefit or gain new advantages from the recovery while everyone else continues to suffer and for the some and most poorest maters continually gets worse.
The "k-shaped" economic recovery was not a recovery for the poor, it was a downward spiral into poverty.

Right Flight

Republicans who disassociate themselves from the Republican Party, because right winged nuts are setting the Party's agenda to favor the 1%, and in a way that is hostile toward the middle class, poor, women, gays, sick, scientists, and illegal immigrants.
Right Flight may be a big problem for the Republican Party as they become dominated by right winged nuts who are more anti-government and anarchistic than conservative, and who lack a viable agenda to solve critical problems that face the nation.

The problem of drug underdose has increased significantly as people stretch out their existing supply by either cutting the dose or not taking it at the prescribed time.

Great Culling of 2020

Great Culling = Great Depression with massive culling of vulnerable industries and businesses and significant amounts of culling of those in the population with existing health problems.

A major international culling event in a capitalist system in 2020 caused by a failure of the capitalist system to be prepared for an epidemic. The Great Culling of 2020 it was activated by a epidemic. In the US in 2018 the White House dismantled the National Security Council’s global health security office it opened the doors as wide as possible for the private market sector to take responsibility for future epidemics and show their stuff.

Most people did not have a stomach for the capitalistic culling process in which businesses and industries that cannot survive and adapt are allowed to fail. These people are especially uncomfortable when those businesses that provide their job fail and go bankrupt. The masses also get queasy about job security in general, losing accumulated wealth, and being able to pay their mortgages or rent, or afford health care insurance when they need it most.
The Great Culling of 2020 is a great test of how a capitalistic system solves market failure. The biggest problem will be when there are demands for government involvement in the private sector, especially when people start dying in mass, industries and commercial businesses start failing and people are left in self quarantine without jobs and income.
Sadly the capitalistic system is never allowed to allow only the survival of the fittest, leaving the rich and powerful with another lost opportunity.

Black Lead Matters

Black Lead Matters was a precursor to the Black Lives Matter and was a largely under reported protest movement focused on the public health crisis. Black Lead Matters was original brought to national attention when local Flint water supply was diverted from the Great Lakes to a highly polluted River. The water crisis in Flint it turns out was a much more common problem of polluted potable water supplies. It later became a low intensity national movement that is still under reported as hundreds of water supplies are revealed to have serious potable water quality problems. The result has been a lot of people got really sick and some died from the lead and other pollutants that were either in the water supply or from the chemicals leached out of the pipes, like lead.
Black Lead Matters was largely a local movement to protect the predominantly black communities from environmental pollution that came to light during the 2016 election system. Sadly the pollution of the public water supply was related to actions by the state government who acted with little concern to the primarily black community from the start. Even worse there was a cover up and continuation of the bad policy till it became a major political issue during a strategic time in the election cycle. Sadly Black Lives Matter is also a protest of police brutality and lack of consideration of black lives by public safety officers or police. However environmental pollution may be just as serious a problem for minority communities as racial profiling.
