Not yet in CA...frustrating everyone...

Honestly it’s about poor parenting...

I will caveat- if you don’t care about money and aren’t complaining or pushing socialism, you might be of quality

left is using government to legislate their failure. Sorry, but you don’t make a quarter plus, it’s because you are stupid, lazy, or untalented. No mercy boys..it’s win or lose...just like on the ice.

Brian Adams sucks, but I love the creativity

My mother in law made a great comment to my daughter. We are currently hatching some butterflies...caterpillar, to pupae, to butterfly to free kinda deal. one of the butterflies died. My mother in law asked my daughter if that was sad. My daughter said yes. My mother in law responded, no honey, it’s not sad or happy, it’s nature.

How many drownings will occur in swimming pools and the Pacific Ocean because kids couldn’t take swimming lessons? these people will have the blood of children on their hands!

CA, which has outperformed Germany In terms of deaths/million, has the director of public health in LA county hinting a lockdown through July... how does that make sense? Don’t let kids play baseball or go to art camp or learn to ride horses... Elderly and vulnerable stay home. Sick or around someone who’s sick, stay home and/or get a test before interacting. simple

Amen

This is where our society dies. Everything we’ve done for generations is about striving for a legacy. Striving for a better life for our families. There is an interesting play here if we repatriated industry and set a flat corporate tax....lower corporate taxes used to benefit our country by allowing for more net profit to invest in expansion (employment) that led to more growth by those employees consuming. Once business got “smart” they kept the low taxes, but off-shored jobs to further inflate margins and found every tax shelter on the planet...Apple, Amazon anyone? Now we are where we are. I cannot support increasing personal income taxes, but a corporate flat tax might be our path forward.

Let’s all sit in our houses until nothing bad ever happens again!

The tribalism that I’m seeing is scary. I even feel it myself. I have nothing in common with an 80 year old New Yorker...thus, I feel some empathy, but not much. No more than I feel for some kid in Afghanistan. Just some basic humanity, but not at my inconvenience. I am reflecting on this and likely not alone. What frightens me even more is if political bias or racial differences create that same tribalism within a geo or age band....I’m guessing for some it does in a different way...maybe even true animosity vs simple indifference. Something to reflect on anyway...at least for me as I try and reconcile so much madness.

I discount everything Fauci says now. I’ve had it with him and all the other “academics” that now are on the path of no future unless we vaccinate the world against covid. nobody shall do anything. We must isolate, contact trace, test everybody for covid like a diabetic tests their sugar. Sheep please cower in your homes. You shall have no hope until the royals deem it okay.

Only thing you could do is freeze payments to Chinese investors. They would dump those bonds then, driving the price down. At a certain yield it would paralyze our ability to issue more debt, because we’d have to up the yield at par I.e high interest... Then everything that’s pegged off us treasuries would be impacted. Including stocks and commodities and mortgages. It would devastate the world economy.

Dude they canceled the Brick and the Ivan Hlinka...

No doubt he’s a goofball, but I read it was the WHO and he kicked them out of Tanzania. Is that fake news?

How about the Tanzanian President sending The WHO samples from a goat, a pheasant and a papaya and them coming back positive for covid...

Not all States are created equal. CA is beating Germany and Canada in deaths per million. contact tracing...is the goal elimination of the virus? I’ve never heard that as a goal, because it’s an impossibility.

Completely agree on the default statement. That would be disastrous. Disagree on one party being the hero and the other a failure. neither is either. That’s a pretty warped viewpoint. The concept of the chief executive or congress as the Driver of economic prosperity is like attributing a great meal to the olive oil.

I’m ready to accept the consequences of war with China. You know what this pandemic has shown them? That the USA will cower in fear of losing 80,000 people.

Funny you say that. Only news I watch is BBC

I’m hearing about summer camps requiring masks...really? It’s all over...I had my son drink water out of a fast moving clear stream in the mountains to help him learn not to be afraid...he coulda gotten giardia- not likely from where we were. Natives drank that water for a thousand years. Some nanny stater would probably want me arrested. Nobody can die, nobody can get sick, nobody can get hurt, nobody can lose, nobody can feel badly or be offended. Guess what? all those things are part of the human experience. Just wait...pretty soon it will be about money. Nobody can fail...we’re the richest country in earth...next thing you know...universal income and socialism. Working your ass off, acquiring debt, getting educated in a valuable skill so you can make a few hundred grand a year which once was the American dream will be vilified and it won’t just be the ultra wealthy that pay the price...it will be doctors, lawyers, executives, small business owners...people making $250-$500k that get crucified.

Yeah...but this is the Brits too...jolly good fun, eh?

Time to repatriate industry and production. Our greed created this monstrosity. Kill $60k/year union jobs to pay Chinese workers $10k/year. Sold the soul of this country for a few decades of ridiculous earnings. I’m no crusader for the working man, but the exporting of jobs and production has fueled the political and economic divide we have today and has opened up a new chasm of vulnerability in supply chain.

Couldn’t agree more, and people can sit there and spout their perspectives with no consequence and no credibility required.
