well, no matter how bad it gets he can always turn the news on and watch seattle and portland being destroyed. so there's that.
somebody better figure out a way to wrap that up. that's probably how ISIS or al quaeda started.
No shit. All this cheap money has to go somewhere. And we can’t make it on cd’s and 1.5%. Who’s gonna be the next reserve currency. Will the US start another war with the nation that steps out of line and tells the Fed to pound sand.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 12:17 amNot fucking likely. And it's likely to get worse this winter, just as flu season gets underway.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 12:10 am Well, the dividing lines are fairly clear. The teachers don’t want to go back to work. Those who get paid no matter what don’t want to go back to work.
Those who want Trump to be defeated want this to last as long as possible. So most of the left want the shutdown to continue until November, when the country will be suddenly cured.
We're going to be in a health mess until (and if) we get an effective vaccine, and enough people are vaccinated. My guess it that won't be until the middle of next year, at best.
Whoever is President next year will have a major problem cleaning this up, and not just health wise. The continuing effects on the economy aren't going to be fixed soon.
And all the debt we're taking on to keep thing's going is gonna drag on growth. It might actually be better not to win this election.
Not much on this Darwin stuff regarding lives. Yeah, eventually the folks that survived would be the ones that were genetically gifted with whatever it takes to turn the bug into a minor nuisance, but I'm not willing to live with a billion or so deaths without trying damn hard to prevent it.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:37 amNo shit.

That may have been the real issue with Saddam. He wanted to trade his oil for something besides greenbacks.
I read up on T cells. Many of us, perhaps 60%, have them that simply steamroll COVID, drama free. All the weak in Nueva Yorke may have been weeded out. It may just have to play out.
So lock up Gramps if you care about him so much. Maybe the new norm is imprisoning all the old people so they live to die in captivity. Folks are killing themselves. Lifelong dreams shot to hell because of fear. 5 restaurants in a town close to me are shut down for good. Completely bankrupt. In a county that has never seen numbers approaching anything our system couldn’t handle.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:45 amNot much on this Darwin stuff regarding lives.

P.S. Oh, and if you haven't noticed, this bug isn't affecting mainly people in NY anymore. I guess you figure we need a whole lot of people "weeded out" other places in the U.S. too? Pretty cold outlook on life I'm thinking. "Hurry up and die, granny, and mom and dad too!"
and all because of something we could have very easily worked our way through without closing anything (but bars) if everyone had just kept their heads. Obviously we couldn't have cured it, but we could have kept from bankrupting so many people.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:22 pm
