   Jim Cramer was talking about this very issue yesterday. I have an explanation for this but will reserve it till I get a source for you (I think big investors are playing the market).

   One of the issues of such a contraction is its impact on stocks. People often think it's just for the rich. It's not! Think of all the teachers, firefighters, nurses, police - all those first responders whose pensions are invested

   You know, that's what I thought too. But then I was seriously surprised when I saw 0.1% contraction during the Great recession of 2007-2009.

   Oh, sorry. Are you referring to the fact that this is a WSJ article and it's not free to viewing? If I find a free article with similar info I'll post that.

   I appreciate your reply and explanation. But the title was not a clickbait. It was the title of the article and the point of the article. If you disagree with the message of the article, that's fine. But the title WAS NOT a click bait.

   Not sure why someone downvoted me on this! Fannie Mae, USPS and many other institutions are government-related, government-sponsored businesses. They are not completely free like regular businesses to do as they wish to earn a profit. My co

    Politicians need to take this seriously. During the 1918-1920 Spanish flu pandemic, San Francisco initially did really well, but then it called the end of the pandemic too early and lifted social distancing and masks requirements. The pand

    But to your point, San Mateo is not closing off 280 and 101 to stop S.F. traffic. And the Governor has issued a stay-at-home policy to the San Francisco Bay Area, not just one or two cities. So that's why I think area-wide policies wor

    I totally agree that only the combo works. But my concern is that we don't have the cohesive, political and business structure to pull off something like that.

    Great reply. That's exactly what I said. Fannie Mae isn't technically government-operated - but it's a government-sponsored enterprise.

    That's just semantics. That's like saying Fannie Mae is not government operated. Yes, both are technically correct. Regardless, they are encumbered by government oversight. They are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

    I don't get it. These affiliate programs act like Amazon's sales team. Cutting 8% to 3% is a big cut. It reduces affiliate incentive to push Amazon products. It may also lead to lower quality websites. Amazon is cutting the hand

    I am all for bailing out USPS. But it won't be permanent. They'll have issues again, their very nature of being a government-operated institution guarantees that. This is not the first time the USPS is in trouble. After the financ

    Houston's land trust seems to be managed by the city government. So is it draining government coffers? Not sure how this works. San Francisco has a land trust (I only know of one). But it's community-based and owned. Here's

    You're absolutely right. But bending the integrity of journalism to appease authoritarian governments is nothing new. We've been doing it with Saudi Arabia for decades.

    A point that merits consideration is whether or not refugee camps perpetuate poverty. For example, did wealthy Syrians end up in refugee camps? And if so, have they remained there? The same question can be asked about Palestinians decades a

    Thanks for sharing this. The first slide throws two pretty big hurdles to reopening - testing and contact tracing. While Google and Amazon are working on contact tracing, it's not clear when it'll be widely implemented or when tes

    Thanks for sharing the link. But how do you enforce stay-at-home policies or any rigorous public health policies, in populated counties that border each other, such as San Francisco and San Mateo counties, or LA and Orang counties.
