>What seems to make sense to me is, keep the lockdown in place long enough to get in front of it. Basically, enough testing so that new cases can be immediately identified and quarantined. That alone will have a big impact. This does mak

That makes more sense. I still would not say that "No one is going to even remember Washington has an outbreak in a week's time". It's ongoing, shelter in place has been enacted. People will still be dealing with it next

Where are you getting your numbers from? King County has 1277[1] confirmed cases. Whatever you were looking at 9 hours ago must be out of date. 1. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/coronavirus...

It is a balancing act, but we need to watch out that we're not letting the economy run the show based on things like overinflated valuations and speculation, which at the first sign of trouble, implode on themselves at almost a 50% los

It's almost as if some people think human's purpose is to sustain an economy, rather than the other way around. Economies and markets are a tool used by human's to achieve goals(ideally better quality of life), they are not t

It's been hitting those in assisted living facilities rather hard, and those people would likely not be able to take a cruise.

Is this paper basically saying China and Italy's troubles with COVID-19 "ain't no big deal", and that New York and Washington are not struggling? >"Leaving the well-known and highly lethal SARS and MERS coronavir

I'd expect percentage losses as deep as those seen in 2007/2008. This isn't just paper money drying up, it's the inability to physically work. It's not just a matter of injecting a ton of capital into the economy, l

I am not a bad person, just someone who this specific issue impacts personally. I don't get to wait for hypothetical situations to occur to make difficult decisions related to this issue, I actually have to make them. Perhaps think twi

>I'm happy the workers are getting relief in the form of more coworkers to help cover shifts and higher wages. How do you know this? Did you apply, and they said your help was not needed at this time? Is your name on file, will they

Again, why you don't you go sign up for the labor-intensive warehouse and delivery work, with significant risk of contracting COVID-19 while having poor health coverage and no sick leave, along with people demanding that you should abs

Pretty sure they still need more help. Why don't you apply? Unless you'd only offer your services for free in order to spite striking workers asking for better working conditions? How noble of you...

Why aren't you doing this already then?

Is Amazon only delivering basic essentials at a fixed cost? Where is this list of basic essentials that Amazon is so charitably ensuring the prompt delivery of?

That sounds like a side effect of the gig economy, job insecurity, and a lack of safety nets, so it's all just a race to the bottom for laborers.

Because incompetence doesn't exist in the private sector? Is it really even a private sector when it's reliant on billions or trillions of dollars of public capital injections every decade or so? Maybe it's not such a bad thi

Okay then what does this have to do with someone's private Alexa device? Are you suggesting the police will install their own Alexa device at someone's house?

They enriched themselves through stock buybacks over the last decade to boost stock price and executive compensation, at the cost of not having money on hand to weather bad times. Does your discounted unregulated fare rate include the cost

It's probably time to nationalize the airline industry entirely. Why do they enrich themselves during good times, and then we bail them out during bad times? If it's essential to economic stability and national security, and it ke

With how 9/11 first responders were treated, or how veterans are treated now, don't count on the US making good on any promises it makes to its heroes. There is tons of hero worship and thumping of patriotic chests, but tangible a

Regardless, Amazon needs to play this very carefully. If they do not take appropriate actions to protect their workforce and the virus proliferates throughout their supply chain and logistics network, they will be completely shutdown. Payin

Can the police right now go to Amazon and demand to listen to anyone's Alexa in real-time? Can the NSA go to any landline provider, and demand a secret list of a person's entire call history(or they may already have this already)?

You're trusting that the microphone is not listening, which is about on par with trusting any device that claims to only store stuff in a local buffer, except when commanded to talk to the cloud. I think to your point, there is possibl

Agreed that this would have to be a smart vision system that can scan the barcode, and maybe the shelves are attached to a scale to determine weight of items as they are placed back in. With that information you could determine size of a ja

You're probably interviewing with all the people who have chimed in that you can't possibly be that good.

Gold and silver are probably the best places to invest if you're planning for total societal collapse, but not really great vehicles to weather a recession.

Money doesn't convert into medicine in an instant, and in times of crisis, that money will buy much less medicine.

The questions were rhetorical. There isn't a free market, and yes, markets should be regulated. It just seemed odd to laude market competition keeping prices low, while also complaining of people taking advantage of those prices.
