    Although I support trump, as much as I “support” any politician, this statement is not based in reality. Covid is much less lethal than initially believed. The 1.5-2 million was based on much higher fatality rates. Remember the point was to flatten and spread out the curve. So if his statement...

    “It assumes an overall symptomatic case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.4 percent, falling to 0.05 percent among people younger than 50 and rising to 1.3 percent among people 65 and older. For people in the middle (ages 50–64), the estimated CFR is 0.2 percent.” These are the latest estimates by the...

    I’m not a conspiracy nut...but, that’s suspicious AF. The CARES act was introduced 14 months before it was passed. @Kak maybe this is the smoking gun for your scam theory.

    I think what I have taken away from this, well regained from this, is to always accept and embrace uncertainty. Operate with the best information available at any given moment in time, but recognize that there are no certainties and the best path forward itself is not certain. Businesses...

    As a general philosophy I put the most trust in “expert” opinions when they are diagnosing what has already happened. A doctors, plumbers, mechanics diagnosis of what is/went wrong. Even then it’s smart to get a second opinion, and experts often disagree. This is the easiest thing for experts...

    Colorado just revised their total dead DOWN. The examined and reclassified taking note of the difference between diving WITH and dying FROM coronavirus. The result is that they overcounted by 30% the number dead before. Likely this is on par with the rest of the country. Even in hard hit...

    The data has changed, Fauci and anyone else that hasn’t changed their perspective are idiots. I don’t care how elevated their expert credentials are. Reality is what it is.

    I feel this way for many physical goods. But it’s not racism, it’s simply not being reliant on any country for things, especially critical goods. I feel the same way if it’s made in India, Australia, Canada, etc. When the sh&t hits the fan every country has shown they will look out for them...

    I’m hearing much the same from people I know growing produce. It’s been hard getting pickers/line processors to show up. Nothing like mismanagement of one crisis (covid) to cause another crisis (food supply chain shortages). So glad we have super intelligent people with our best interests at...

    I don’t have any data at the moment on what percent of people suffer from long term damage or to what degree damage occurs. This type of information will probably take a long time to accumulate, it’s kinda complicated because ideally you have lung function tests before and after infection...

    I have serious concerns about a commercial and real estate loan/foreclosure crisis. There are likely to be many many financial ripples from this situation. What will happen to the buildings, who knows.

    Down turns are great time to buy. In 2009, I bought a Lotus Elise for 1/3 off MSRP. Bought sight unseen from Michigan, shipped to AZ. Only 20 miles when delivered. It’s worth more today than when I bought it. Of course there are very few I’m the country today, and demand is reasonable...

    It’s a prudent move. If the government can shut you down on a whim, then the prudent decision is to structure your organization in the most efficient way that can eliminate that vulnerability. Operating risks have changed. Smart companies will respond accordingly.

    Great story. I see/hear so many people now days, especially younger adults, who think they can become independent and successful without significant effort. You have to become valuable and create value for others to receive value (money) from others. There are lots of ways to try and...
