Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater seems to be protected speech after all.

The msm destroys the stock market with fear porn and then blames it on Trump .. to hell with the American people.

Fear Porn is right. Overreact much? This reminds me of the hype surrounding Y2K.

Anyone else see that Netflix has a new series on called Pandemic. Weird timing, I think. Pump everyone full of panic and fear...Pussygate did not work, Stormi Daniels, Brett Kavanaugh, Russian Collusion, Ukraine, Impeachment-all failed...I think this is overblown to destroy the economy and attempt to destroy Trump. Something is definitely off with all this.

I worked as a software developer during the Y2K hysteria and you are completely correct on the parallels. Despite the fact that we had all the coding done and tested long beforehand, the company I worked for insisted on hiring special project managers who ran around the office with walkie talkies and scheduled hourly meetings. They insisted that we work weekends too, so we came in and played Starcraft over the network.

Yeah, if we hadn't already completed all the coding before they brought those idiots in we probably wouldn't have had time to do it.

Eh... i work in the industry too, and my company did thousands of hours of code remediation (as they called it), and there were some fairly critical issues that were patched. As much as people like to say y2k was overblown, i think we actually managed to avert a lot of the problems... it was a non-event because we worked to fix it

Yes, it needed to be addressed, but it was hyped to the max and blown way out of proportion. It was a great opportunity for people to make money though, especially project managers and programmers of outdated and obscure software platforms that a lot of legacy systems still ran on. They milked it for all it was worth too.

Hopefully that's what happens with COVID-19 over here.

Think of the massive wealth transfer between Boomers+ and the Millennial inheritance crowd...

If 1+ Million older types die in the next year, it's going to be very interesting to see it play out alongside the push for socialism/communism, accountability/transparency draining the swamp etc etc...

Interesting how the virus affects the elderly with respiratory problems considering everyone in China has respiratory problems and the elderly are “unproductive” in their perfect communist society, and have been a major economic difficulty for China since they implemented population control measures. Maybe this is just China’s way not to be blamed for mass murdering the inconvenient.

Communists murder their fellow citizens when those citizens are deemed troublesome.

One of the most important constants in all communist systems.

If your parents die, you're not going to inherit anything?

If a bunch of parents die, a bunch of kids won't inherit anything?

I don't see the logic.

I know for a fact there is a large percentage of goalless, unmotivated people who are simply coasting through life waiting for their inheritance in order to finally 'get ahead', e.g. buy a house, own their car, pay off their debts..etc

This is a fact, just as it's a fact that those who don't currently own property will soon be excluded from EVER owning property, if the markets continue on their current trajectory. I'm fortunate to be a homeowner, but could easily have been in the group of never ever getting away from renting had I not met my wife.

That people can't see this is just a testament to useful idiots on their way to the woodchipper.

Can you imagine the shit-storm if someone leaked written documentation, like an email or memo, of someone in media or the democrat party mentioning pushing beer virus fear to tank the economy and hurt Trump?

We had a leaked video of an ABC News reporter admitting, on camera, that they had all the evidence that Epstein was running a child sex slave ring and buried it.

Point taken, but I would think a studio video is easier to hide than a circulated email or memo giving talking heads their daily dose of propaganda lines.

There's no better time to get in the stock market. I can assure you by the time of the election we'll back around 27-28k in the Dow Jones
