Trashbus presents
The Corona-Dialogues
with Rena Lopov, Mr. Mammon, and
Coronavirus Covid-19 aka Mr. Corona
#5 - Economics
Dear audience, welcome back to 
Trashbus-studio in Berlin-Neukölln.
Today we will talk to Mr. Corona 
about the economy,
and we also have an expert as a guest.
Hello, Mr. Corona!
Hello!
Mr. Corona, the consequences 
of the Corona crisis
will be a challenge for the economy 
for probably a decade,
according to the head of the 
European Investment Bank.
Other experts even predict 
an economic crisis
that will top that of 2008.
How do you assess the situation?
I feel pessimistic for you, humans.
But you'd better let our guest speak directly.
Good idea, Mr. Corona!
The economics expert Mr. Mammon 
will now explain
what the current situation 
means for the market
and what financial aids 
are planned by the government.
Corona crisis, coping, 600 million Euros, 
support programs, credit.
Special programs, SMEs, KfW, 300 billion Euros, 
5,000 Euros, 15,000 Euros, emergency aid.
Bonuses, triple-digit-billion-Euro-range, 
economic crisis, central bank.
Economic growth, 
economic stabilization fund.
New debt, 150 billion Euros, 
billions in state aid.
Severe slump, house bank, guarantee bank.
Tax deferrals, short-time work, IBB –
Bazooka!
Thank you, Mr. Mammon …
Dear audience, I must admit 
that I didn't understand a word.
Mr. Corona, did you get 
the overall context?
Yes!
The supposed bailout fund
that the government 
is currently providing
will lead to a rapid downfall 
of you humans
once I am done with my work.
But there is hope:
the economy and the market 
are man-made constructs.
So you should now ask yourselves now
if you want to maintain 
the existing economic order.
That capitalism doesn't work, 
is obvious, isn't it?
So think of something new.
You can do it!
I must leave, 
I have an urgent appointment.
Toodle-oo!
Goodbye, Mr. Corona!
Dear audience, 
thank you for tuning in.
We again have provided links for 
further reading in the video description.
Tomorrow we'll be back 
on the phone with Mr. Corona –
– and mother nature will send us a message!
Have a beautiful day, 
bye-bye!
