Blue States will absolutely shut down the minute they can, then campaign on: "President Trump's economy is failing", during an election year.

Oh and you can't vote for President Trump, because Blue States also shut down polling places. Isn't that convenient?

I wish we also has a subwin for advice. Would be nice to request help from other pedes on home projects or life coaching, those sorts of things.

Yes! I want one for literature. I stopped reading anything made after 2010. It was just too much crap. Books are praised with five stars. They'll win awards and acclaim. So, I'll read them and they are horrible. I don't just mean ideological either. I mean story structure, sentence structure, it's just terrible writing all around. Invariably the swj stuff will come through, and I'll say, "there it is, that's why this shit was praised." It fucking pisses me off.

I would totally ask if there's any composer pedes out there. I want to learn to make music, and it seems like all the youtubers out there teaching it are just setting you up to fail.

I have a feeling that when the "second wave" of covid never comes, the market will just begin powering forward for multiple years of solid above-average (dare I say double digit?) gains. The key is keeping President Trump in office.

Ask an actuary. You know. Those folks that set life insurance rates. Life insurance is the same price as last year?

Here is what Stanford and UCLA is starting to point out:

“These infection fatality rates are remarkably low and are similar to the fatality rate for the seasonal flu.”

“The virus is 10 times less fatal than we first thought.”

Dr. Rajiv Bhatia is an affiliated assistant clinical professor of Medicine at Stanford University. He is a former deputy health officer for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, [email protected]. Dr. Jeffrey Klausner is a professor of Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“To properly assess the mortality risk associated with the coronavirus pandemic, it is necessary to examine deaths and death rates from all causes, not just deaths and death rates from COVID-19.”

They are asking this question because it is clear the Covid-19 numbers are highly inflated from other causes of death.

“During January-May 2020, the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services show about 120,000 total deaths in California, which is similar to the number during January-May 2018.”

They are comparing this current flu season against the last big pandemic that his us in 2017-2018 Flu season. The numbers look the same.

“Thus, the 2020 total death rates in California can be approximated by the 2018 total death rates, which are in the CDC’s WONDER database. I focus here on those under 65 years of age because they include students and most working-age people, and because COVID-19 deaths comprise only 3% of the total deaths in this age range during 2020.”

Experts, such as John Ioannidis, Knut Wittkowski, Francis Collins, and Anders Tegnell were saying things to this effect from the start. We should remember those names for the future. They were already very well respected in their fields; they weren't random cranks. We would do well to remember their names and take their opinions seriously in the future.

Praying for it every day. That kind of market move enters the "life changing money" territory for me, even with the stuff I have in the "safe money" category. Good luck with your investing!

I agree with this post.

Part of what is levitating the market is the threat of flooding the economy with trillions of new "dollars". This is intended to counter deflation, and so we may be able to get away with it and not get inflation, in the short term. In the long term, it's worrisome.

But the part that Trump is doing well is un-coupling us from Chyna. We need to bring those jobs back to the USA. We need to make things again. We need to MAKE America Great Again.

I’ll second that IF we completely stop buying from Chyna. If Americans are forced to buy from Americans there will be so many jobs to be had.

I think our biggest downfall right now is not only do we not manufacture but we also don’t have the capability to produce the machines that due the manufacturing. For instance, it’s one thing to actually produce for example mask in America, but the other thing is to produce the machine that produces the mask. We can’t completely shut ourselves off from Chyna if we are still buying the machines we need to produce the thing we want.

Can you day trade for a few bucks with limited time or is it not worth it?

The soft part of the economy (Netflix and video games) needs a thorough house cleaning. Most of it is rotten.

They are trying to pull that shit here in Florida. No way do I believe these over 5,000 cases a day for the last few days. All the mask bullshit. Thankfully DeSantis isn't being a total pussy.

Yeah somehow all the worst states are now the republican southern states and not the shitholes where people are gathering en mass, only wearing masks to hide their identity. Somehow the virus is smart enough to leave protestors alone, but all those people going to the beach are doomed! Not buying it.

Something happened almost 2 weeks ago in my neck of the woods... Let me explain:

I live in a blue area in a red state. I work on the outskirts of town. On my way to work, in an abandoned shopping center they set up a rapid response covid testing. For weeks it would have 3 to 4 cars there whenever I would drive by. I thought, awesome, if I ever think I have it I'll run by. Well after weeks of near empty parking, something changed last Monday. On Monday the parking lot was half full all of a sudden. The next day the whole lot was packed. After that the line went into the street. Then the line would be into the street by 6:50am and then be backed up for blocks.

I would ask around wtf is going on? Are huge companies demanding their employees take the test to get back to work? Nope. Some how some people got the word to get as many tested as they could, and suddenly. It was strange. Still happening.

Maybe they were giving out free gift cards with every Covid test!

When the economy picked back up I had a lib tell me this is actually Obama’s doing. Trump is just riding on his success...

They are all fucked in the head
