Right now it doesn't really matter who is to blame for starting it. We can do that later. Trump should do that later. But he won't.
Drove by the local park and saw the same![]()
My bad, knew I was forgetting one.
Settle down
the "chill", "settle down", etc is complete horse . why don't you refute anything instead of your cliche bull sayings and girly emoticons blaKKKe?
oh yeah, it's because you're a pussy. got it!![]()
yeah I don't get it either. Even if this is unintentional, repe ive carelessness on China's part is going to completely wreck the US economy....but please, let's make sure we're not meanie heads in return to them. wtf?
I had my Persona 5 Royal preorder that I put in months ago with them. Finally cancelled it last week when it was 100% clear the US was about to get completely ed and that walking into a Gamestop on 3/31 would be madness. Just hope I can actually beat the game without going into the hospital (bought it on PSN).![]()
Relatively to Europe and Asia, US has the most undisciplined, self centered youth on the planet. Millennial and Zs. We’re ed.
70% is extreme. The worst years of the great depression never reached 25%. The great recession's unemployment rate was 10%.
I don't know, Europeans and South Americans I went to school with didn't seem much different.
Were they in the US following the custom.
I know a bunch of guys in there 20's and 30's I play basketball with after work in the evening. I stopped playing once this became serious but they are still playing. I know this because I'm in their group chat and they always let me know when they are heading out to the park to play.
Did the Great Depression ever have an entire country ordering all non-essential business closed? Because we're days from that. I was listening to Robert Reich earlier and he said to expect greater than 40% unemployment within 2-3 weeks.
yes
en led little s. but to be faur if I was 21 again, not sure what id do tbqh
tough times
They won't be permanently closed. A month or two will create a severe shock to the system. For sure. But it's not a permanent closure.
This is very unlikely to be over in two months if this virus isn't severely hampered by rising temperatures. Mnuchin wouldn't be proposing a second UBI check in two months if there was much reason to hope we'd be coming out of this by then. Like Michael Osterholm said, this isn't a blizzard, it's a winter.
the feel good make believe utopian re ed progressive idiots are all weak bleeding heart losers unfortunately. it's sad when our males in this society are more pussified than our females.
Summer + at least one trial (remdesivir) will be done. That's two more months of developing/evaluating treatments. That's two months of people getting sick and recovering. Remember, these measures are being taken because of the threat to the elderly, those with health complications, and the health system. Once infrastructure bandwith is opened up, you slowly return to normal.
Getting a check in two months is a float to those who haven't been working. It's not a signal that no progress will be made by then.
It's serious. I think a recession is guaranteed. It will take months, if not a year or two to re-emerge once we turn the corner. But 70% unemployment is crazy.
Well older generations dealt with pandemics by just going about their business. If they died they died.
I don't pay much attention to those making historical comparisons. This is unprecedented in human history and how it plays out is a complete unknown. The world revolves on fiat money so who knows the globe could just decide to do a reset when this has passed.
Settle down already
It sounds like you're banking on best case scenarios though. What percentage of the workforce can work from home? 10%? 20%? We don't appear to have nearly enough hospital beds or ventilators to open the country back up in two months unless we just have catostrophic number of deaths these two months with the virus burning through say half the population. And I really fear for small business in this country.
Honestly, I was thinking the same. More honestly I'd probably be at the beach.
