APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says
SHOULDN'T THEY BE RALLYING! ?


well there is a difference.

when left rallies, its because they want a hand out (panhandle rallies, occupy wall street, shit like that).
when right rallies, they want freedom to work, they just want to work.

anyone can tell the difference there is quite huge, it's polar opposite.

First of all most models are bullshit as you have already seen, they were wrong by a factor of 100. Second they deal with best to worst case scenarios and up to means worst case scenario, given a bell curve or anything similar and the best case scenario is it almost disappears - so let's say less than a few hundred, you end up with maybe anywhere between 500-1500 as the most likely scenario. This will go on til there's sufficient herd immunity which is exactly why they should open up fully for the summer, once herd immunity is reached, daily deaths will trend down til close to zero. That is of course given there's no significant mutation.

Yeah, just what society needs, a series about two trainwrecks of people so they can profit off from being such pieces of shit. Here, want to be famous and make some money? Be a fucking awful human being, and some piece of shit will pay you for your story, and sell it to a bunch of semi-human garbage to watch transfixed.

Again, you don’t even know if that’s a CDC information sheet as a final product.

Because lying NYT.

Polling shows that just 12% of Americans think their local restrictions have gone too far – and 26% think they don’t go far enough


Fake polls by the American Left that wants to keep the economy down going into the November election.

Sorry, but the Tea Party Movement was not fake. It was not 'astro turf' as Pelosi said it was. It was quite real.

So real that the GOP Rinos got in bed with Obama to sick the IRS on them. You don't sick the IRS on ppl who don't exist.


It got rid of Cantor in a shock primary where a beloved neoliberal/neocon GOPe star was removed, a Paul Ryan type who campaigned tough on values, immigration, etc but pussed out on everything except tax breaks for corps and more foreign interventions. That was when you began to see the first stirrings of fear/rage among the GOPe National Review types - "We're only supposed to give lip service to immigration control - how DARE you expect us to do something when we control the House?"

110693   Patrick   2020 May 4, 5:40pm  

So your objections to Trump's policies are:

1. removal of controls on nuclear arms
2. not doing enough about global warming

Never heard about the first one. What controls did Trump remove?

For the second, yes, Trump does seem to be encouraging US coal production, and did withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. Those are big cans of worms and we could debate them a long time. It doesn't seem all that black and white to me.

Especially the Trump model that said we were going to go from 15 cases to zero, instead we went from 15 to over a million confirmed and likely many millions, and counting. Geez talk about getting it wrong.

Trump never claimed to have a model. It's one thing to talk out of your ass, maybe instill some hope and with a bit of luck it can happen. It's another to claim having an "accurate" model and being off by a factor of 100, scaring the population and fostering fascist stay at home orders.

Well as posted in another Thread, a comment from Peter Thiel that the TDS crows takes Trump literally while the others look for a sensible direction and can-do attitude, in this case balancing the lives of a few (who don't want to self-isolate) potentially saved against the loss of the livelihood for tens of millions and not choking the economy to death.

Eh.. More likely fructose face. Definitely appears to have had her days though.

That's why you check out the mom. I had chicks get super pissed at me for doing that in my 20s. Works though. Those who I still know who had hot moms are still hot. The others... I don't know what happened to them. Who cares.

Finally, the Israelis are using a smart weapon. Took them long enough.

Vacation rental property owners in Florida also are hurting as there is a moratorium on vacation rentals until the end of May:

However, hotels and motels are allowed to be open for business in Florida.
110709   Ceffer   2020 May 4, 9:48pm  

Some businesses have overhead insurance, although whether pandemic is excluded I suppose depends on the policy.

Small businesses that have four to six months of reserve could survive, but would have 'wind up' period that might not be fully profitable. High overhead businesses with small profit margins would likely have real problems trying to maintain the overhead until things pass.
110710   Ceffer   2020 May 4, 10:03pm  

Yes, I am sure it is pure enlightenment on Newsom's part rather than the shock at seeing the coffers drain with insufficient tax plunder coming in. I gather he has already had to take out Federal loans to pay out disability and unemployment.

All Hail The Enlightened Left and The Great Socialist Paradise! Will we see California politicians changing their identities and fleeing with duffel bags full of cash? Isn't that how the third world socialists do it?
110711   Ceffer   2020 May 4, 10:29pm  

Everybody in Georgia is already dead, and TRUMP KNEW, but allowed it to happen anyway.

This from "a person familiar with internal documents". This person has already received a payment check, and their identity will not be revealed in order to protect the innocent.
110712   mostly_reader   2020 May 4, 10:46pm  

Yeah, let's talk about disappointments.
I've seen lots and lots of caricatures and (mostly lame) memes depicting Trump and/or evil billionaires sacrifice grandma for economy. Because Trump and/or evil billionaires (allegedely) pushed for opening the economy.

Honest question: were you involved in spreading those?

J Crew and Golds Gym have filed for bankruptcy today.

J Crew would have filed for bankruptcy within a couple of years, as this coronavirus pandemic just made the inevitable bankruptcy filing happen a lot sooner.

I read Hertz Rental Car is looking to file for bankruptcy also. Hertz's financial strength has steadily been reduced over the last 5 years just going by its Altman Z score.

I'd like to see charts for beef, chicken and pork production in pounds for the last few months to verify this.

The price of salmon, flounder and tuna fish will go up if there is a significant drop off in beef, chicken, and pork production.

I don't know about opening up. We're supposed to cower in place through May here in Silicon Valley. In some ways, it's really quite nice. Less noise and pollution. Driving is a real pleasure. Lines at the supermarket are shorter. Last week, for the first time ever, I didn't have to wait to get gasoline at Costco of IndiaSunnyvale. It was amazing: 36 pumps are enough to satiate demand!

If you want to get gas at Costco and not wait in line, don't go when the store is open. Also Monday mornings tend to be bad.

So Marcus isn't panicking and upset they are opening up early after we all said it was dog and pony show hoax?

Yeah, I'm sure right wingers would probably rather be locked down and complaining than having freedom to go outside.

Documents implicating Hillary and Obozo in Benghazi, at least has their fucking names on it!
