It's incredible how predictable the responses from the Fox news watching contingent are. I couldn’t care less about my $1,200...I’m just happy that the Kennedy Center is being funded in this difficult time. As to your last point, I haven’t watched a Fox News episode in quite some time, but please, go on... BTW, southpaw, have you and Brian Williams figured out how much each American would get if we took away Bloomberg’s $500 million and distributed it to 330 million people or are you still crunching the numbers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we need to bail out airline companies a decade after doing it last time? Because they took advantage of the help offered. It was "me first" to them and their shareholders. The cruise companies that flag their ships outside of the US to avoid paying US taxes don't deserve a bailout to keep them afloat. Agreed. But the cruise ships aren't getting one, are they?

Not being able to do quick math on live TV isn't the worst offense there is. Stupid, yes but there's lots of stupid people who are good at talking on TV. And I agree the Kennedy Center shouldn't have recieved that extra funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened more than a month ago, so I'm curious why it matters? A few weeks ago you posted it in an attempt to rebut open racists, sexists and xenophobes at a Trump rally.

Or lack of confidence is more like CYA. Sure the confidence interval is huge, much like any model. Looks like after May 1st, there are zero new fatalities in New York and Corona is wiped off the face of the earth. Do you find this at all realistic?
