The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has announced the creation of a fund for addressing the global coronavirus pandemic – and he is simultaneously asking nations to contribute the equivalent of at least 10 percent of the annual income of the entire planet to a massive “human-centered, innovative and coordinated stimulus package” that would be administered at the international level.
Although Guterres doesn’t state it explicitly, he seems to be connecting the new fund, which he calls a “dedicated COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund,” with the massive stimulus package plan, announcing both measures in the same press release.
If countries were to accept the plan, the United Nations or some similar coordinating agency would be given the equivalent of approximately 8.7 trillion USD, an unprecedented amount that would be 2,900 times greater than the UN’s annual budget of 3 billion USD.
...
Guterres also wants 100 billion USD for the World Health Organization, whose president has been blamed for helping to cause the coronavirus pandemic by repeating in January the Chinese government’s false claim that COVID-19 is not transmissible to humans.
They need to take their money grabbing selves to China - they started this mess.
What's wrong with these people??
Do you see what happens when you start giving away money? Here come all of the leeches now. The only thing this will stimulate is their bank accounts... well, it may stimulate other body parts if they actually get away with this.
... smh ...
UPDATE: Added video... the 10% remark is around 3:20
I wish I was totally ignorant to human nature the same as you are.
Oh, you dropped your rock comment. I originally responded to:
"IKR. It's not like we are living on the same rock or anything."
Why did you delete it?
I didn't see what was posted - but it probably disappeared after I added the video.
