Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

The blame game between the two is not helping. The Chinese have no credibility on this. Trump should ignore them and stop wrapping himself in the flag. Its pointless and in some ways counterproductive.
I agree. It’s not like Trump needs to win an argument as to whether the Chinese government officials are bad actors.
 
My dad always told horror stories about the barrel of corn cobs they kept by the outhouse when he was a kid.

When he said something was "rough as a cob" I knew it was real bad.

I recently lamented that between silage and ethanol, a fella' can't even buy a good barrel of cobs anymore.
 
...which is an overreaction IMO. Take the opportunity to self direct funds from the US Treasury to a church, charity or another person.

No. Throwing money at a non tax entity from money paid by someone else to the federal government is not a pedestal I want to stand on.

To expand on this, what happens if the federal government comes back 20 years from now and says, “hey we gave you $2,000 in 2020”. We need that back.

Look up the stats. In Italy, too. Italy has the 2nd oldest population in the entire world behind only Japan. Most of those are, again, over 60 years old. Death rate worldwide for people over 60 is around 11% if infected (up to 18% for those over 80). Death rate for someone who is 28 is around .09% if infected. The elder population is skewing the numbers drastically. I’m speaking facts and statistics. You’re obviously a Democrat who thinks emotionally. If someone who is 75-90 gets nearly any flu/cold that turns into pneumonia, it’s not a good outlook.
wait. democrats think emotionally?

If you can tell me the Democrat platform without mentioning anything related to free stuff (aka tax payer supported stuff), racism, xenophobia, sexism, $15 minimum wage because it sounds good if you have zero understanding of economics, or just that “we hate Trump”.... I’ll listen.

If you think about it, they’re like the stoner kid in high school who is running for student body because of a dare. He just gets up there at the debate and yells “Free ice cream on Fridays and no class on Monday!” and everyone goes crazy over it. He has no ability or financial means to actually do those things, he’s just looking for an emotional reaction from the brainless to score their votes. It sounded good to the crowd, and he somehow wins. The guy who should’ve won went after him in the debate and started talking about legitimate things he could do. The crowd boos him before he gets 4 words in.

Results > Feelings
Reality > La La Land
Fishing pole > Fish

Circumstances are different but I have a feeling what President Trump may be attempting to do to China that President Reagan did to the Soviet Union. Jmo
 
Oh we're avoiding parks. We're trying to get *away* from other carcasses.
Haha yeah, I want no part of that conga line. I didn't mean it for you necessarily as you'd already stated where you're going. And it's probably not relevant to most here either since the Smokies are free anyway. Just a PSA.

I think it's a bit of an odd move though. Several national parks are closed because of the virus, but others are open for free because of the virus?

I agree with you 100% in theory it’s not the world we live in. You know how I am on the deficit. But we could do nothing here. And potentially see how long of a depression? We need to demand responsible government spending, so that when we have National Emergencies, we can act.
I understand your reasons behind your support. The stuff is hitting the fan. Unfortunately, we haven't had responsible spending. And now that a national emergency is on us, we don't have the money to spend.

I think we will only learn and demand change when there is pain.
