This isn’t a bailout for wall street, it’s an attempt to bailout the economy as a whole because there isn’t enough money in the banking system to cover the institutional sell off. In other words, they had to do this to prevent a run on the

You have to read between the lines here. They did this because there was not enough liquidity to cover the institutional sell off in the bond market. In other words, had they not done this, there very well could have been a run on the ban

The point here is not where did the money come from, it’s why is it needed? And the answer is because there isn’t enough liquidity to cover the institutional sell off. Which means that they HAD to do this to prevent a run on the bank. Th

Not that it particularly matters because it sounds like all soap is pretty effective, but I wonder if a grease fighting dish soap would be the most effective of all. Don’t mind me, I’ll just be doing dishes for the next few months.

Exactly. When the virus is at its worst is when the market will start to bounce back because recovery will be priced in. The markets are all about the value of the future. That’s why it’s all kind of a joke to me. Its based on hopes and

This is why we need to evolve to a more human centered capitalism. We need to put stakeholders back ahead of shareholders. We need to realize that growth is not limitless and to stop worshiping it. And we need to stop measuring our succes

If it’s possibly being spread in the community and can take 14 days for symptoms to emerge, shouldn’t it be quite alarming that people are still congregating in public like nothing is wrong?

This is only true if you quit all social media. I started using Twitter for 1 specific topic and now it’s all back.

What if we could “reboot” a schizophrenic brain through some sort of sensory deprivation?

The disease takes about 2-3 weeks to run its course through each patient. It’s slow burning and mildly yet unpredictably lethal. That sounds innocuous but it is a recipe for disaster.

It’s going to become endemic and seasonal. We will need to build up a resistance. Too many will die.

Why are they building 12 hospitals at breakneck speed for a severe cold? Do you honestly believe that?

Look, you say inflammatory response science says steroids. But what about CBD? Maybe even THC? Let’s experiment at least,

Even in Communist China, people are turned away from hospitals due to inability to pay for treatment...that’s the worst irony I have ever heard. This disease is virulent and unpredictable. A 34 year old doctor died. 12 hospitals are being b

Has anyone stopped to look and see if any of his advice worked though? Pragmatic psuedoscience is more valuable than true science that can’t find a repeatable answer.

And here I thought the normal people reference was to “The War on Normal People” by Andrew Yang which,10 years from now will look like a glaring omission.

What I don’t understand is why people are putting internet connected cameras INSIDE their house. How do indoor cameras, that catch somebody already inside your house, make you safer? Why not just get door and window sensors? Outdoor camer

Yes, but if you carry around a smartphone it’s kind of a moot point. Unfortunately, I think pervasive surveillance is inevitable. Perhaps when video and audio evidence becomes completely unreliable due to deepfakes type shenanigans it wil

It’s the DNR that makes this one tricky. His lawyer should have made the argument that keeping him alive against his will instead of letting him die constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

To be honest, 3 years later and you still can’t figure out why Trump won. And no, I am not a Trump supporter. I didn’t vote for him. I won’t vote for him. But it’s really easy to see how he won.
