If stocks can go up 32% in 2019 with corporate earnings up about 4%, they can go down 25% with a flatish earnings forecast for the year 2020.

It won't be long before Coronavirus makes Social Security solvent again, with lots of government squandering wiggle room. MAGA!

Cull the weak! Coronavirus is good social parasite medicine! OOPs! Did it kill the doctors, too?

jazz_music says

The reason they have been telling us all that government is no good is because the oligarchs were gaining monopoly over the use of government by using their corrupt influence more boldly all the time

Get it? Government is no good for us, only them.

Government is THE tool.

Government Is the keys to the kingdom.

The sooner you get that through your head the sooner you can start fighting FOR it, not against it.

Like they do!

try living in a country where it's exactly what you want, China, Venezuela... sorry you missed soviet union that one didn't work out. But the other 2 are still there sort of. Fucking utopia!

You might be right - death rate for over 70 year olds is many times that for younger people.
WIN-WIN!
As AF would say, we can now invest surplus of Social Security in Uzbek stock fund managed by Kazakhstan company!

Jazz wants to give the government MORE power so the ruling class has LESS power? Makes absolutely no sense.

Totally ass backwards

Beware short term bias. We are still more than 3 times where we were 10 yrs ago.
x3 / 10 yrs ain't bad.
Could be (or become) a lot worse.

Also Lefties: "OMG! How could DRUMPF! do this, and scare these needful good immigrants off Benefits!"

My state Virginia has turned Blue in the last election because of redrawn districts, the growth in DC suburbs, carpet baggers from Blue states, and an increased population of illegals. This new Dem majority is now seriously pushing driver's licenses for illegals along with automatic voter registration at the DMV.

OccasionalCortex says

GOOD!

The National Flood Insurance Program should be abolished as well. What a total moral hazard. 80% of houses build on the East Coast (not just Florida) over the past 70 years would never have been so if regular insurance markets were in force. Same for regions that are large flooding plains inland too.

So all existing policies should be amended such that the next time a house gets trashed from flooding or a storm, the government DOES pay it out...but policyholders then sign over their land to the government, which puts into conservativeship or something like that. No more rebuilding over and over againl

Either that or they have to pay regular market rate for it or maybe they won't be able to get insurance. If they're rich enough - let them build.

Nobody in the US has died yet. Don't hold your breath waiting to cheer. Meanwhile plenty of people have died every day since the CV came to the US due to traffic accidents, homicide, heart disease, cancer, and the flu.

Now that they decided to saddle Pence with the Grand Vizier FaceFuck position on Coronavirus, Dems are criticizing him for not monitoring every single act of wonton butt fucking in Indiana to stop HIV there.

He's gone to that great Buckyball in the sky!

You talking about Tabby’s star?

Dyson didn't believe manmade global warming was a problem. He believed in science.

OccasionalCortex says

Don't you mean 'Dyson's Sphere' in the sky? Buckyball was named after Buckminister Fuller.

Absolutely not. Buckminster Fuller invented Heaven. Everybody knows that.

Maybe he went to the Great Socialist Paradise Gulag in the sky for re-education in the next life.

TWO FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS PREDICT IVANKA WILL BE INDICTED ON FRAUD CHARGES

I don't knowww.

That might make great leader (i.e. daddy) very very very maaad.

Who's your daddy?

I mean, it may save Bernies life.

It’s near certainty that if Bernie wins the Democrat nomination, he is going to get Clinton’ed

He didn't believe in climate change but he was a lefty socialist. Looks like my grandmothers brother.

The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place.

If Bernie is the candidate, he will lose Florida=lose the election.

If they screw Bernie, a lot of the losers will just not get off the couch to vote, they will not have party loyalty to the hypocrites in the DNC.

I guess this is the final stage of the total humiliation of the loser party.

Anyone think testing for the COVID-19 virus will be easy

I do. I was on the team the designed the 7500 in the picture as well as other PCR machines. Every fucking hospital in the country has a PCR machine. It's like the soda station at McDonalds as far as molecular biology labs go and not hard at all.

It's ridiculous we haven't been testing way more people. It's cheap, fast and super sensitive. Perhaps false positives but so what. Complete malpractice on the part of our government agencies who've been lying their asses off.

They're not even hiding it; they know they can't. They're simply depending on the Media to make it sound less awful and undemocratic than it will be.

They should be at all airports and everyone should be tested before leaving the building. When I was working at Applied Biosystems we started to build a special system for the Air Force. Grant was shit though so we quit.

Each machine which is super cheap by the way can test nearly 384 people in one run. Have to leave some wells for controls. It takes a couple of hours. It's been over a decade since I worked on them but back then some companies sold tetrad machines. They held 4 plates of 384 wells each so could be way more by now for all I know.

Suddenly, it was Trump's economy again in a matter of days; Obama long forgotten.

They could test them before they get on the plane so by the time they land they have their results.

Somebody should ask Bernie again if he thinks it's rigged.

PREDICTION:

Bernie has over 550 delegates and between 36-40% (or more) of all pledged delegates by the close of Super Tuesday.

now seriously pushing driver's licenses for illegals

Whats their argument in favor of it? Some junk about it being a human right? "will reduce crime rate" (because their driving gets made legal)?

NoCoupForYou says

Cash For Clunkers, still producing dividends a decade later!

Insurance executives are making a killing off obamacare. ANTM is up 500% since obamacare began. It's pure crony capitalism fleecing the taxpayer for the benefit of politically connected.

Good job obama!

That's a really great idea. I wish I'd thought of that!

You have to be super specially careful with the sample. The rest is kindergarten level work. Go Troll elsewhere. The software (I wrote part of it) does the work.

VINCENT says

But sooo worth it!

You sure are asking lot of irrelevant questions Mr. Corntrollio after I destroyed your post implying it was difficult to test.

Again, anyone who has never seen a fast food restaurant, like you and innocently like the people you are trying to defraud, might say:

Wow! You don't even have to go INSIDE! A voice asks the questions at your CAR! You pay through a window and nearly instantly the hot order comes out!!! It must be SOOO hard!

Meanwhile since the 1980s 10s of 1000s of molecular biologists around the country run PCR tests day in, day out trying not to blow their brains out when they leave work because their job is so boring and repetitive. During lunch they likely at least once per week bitch about the boring work. While setting up PCR reactions they're jamning out to Metallica, yacking about the weekend with their peers, texting and reading social media on their phones; maybe trading some stocks on their machines. No gloves, no lab coat. Some snuck in with socks and sandals.

I'm sure the bad old protocol looks uber difficult to you.
