I'm really hoping the antibody tests show way more herd immunity than expected. Otherwise it's coming back again. The other idea is the one floated by that Peak Prosperity guy. He thinks if everyone wears masks when out in public, it stops the contagion. Italy is going yard on containment measures. Now going to be shutting down almost all industry. They're speculating the economy could shrink 5 to 15 percent. I think it's a lot more than that. Many of these companies aren't gonna come back at all. Also, fuck closing more gas stations. Most of them are already closed. There's already literally nowhere to eat. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/03/26/we-are-entering-a-war-economy-italy-shuts-down-non-essential-factories/

Markets still falling like whoa
So, while I understand that you can temporize a bit, at some point, you absolutely will have out of control inflation. We're getting closer every day. How do you go bankrupt? Gradually, then suddenly. Did they decide to print the stimulus?

Is there a specific thread for discussion of the Eran Bendavid and Jay Bhattacharya editorial? https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464?mod=trending_now_pos2 They're basically saying the IFR could be lower than the flu.

TRAVEL: Points, Miles, Discounts, Tips, Advice & Questions
I found out that Brooks Brothers has an outlet store. I went to fucking town. Much cheaper than what you see online. I didn't realize they had decided to sell shirts for normal sized, not just fat, people. Anyway now I have like 400k points that won't do shit for me for a long time. I guess it'll be international travel but at this point I'm like whatevs.

Trump - Why I still support him ! #maga
That is an entirely reasonable position. Stating that Trump believed the virus was a hoax a month after he appointed a WH coronavirus task force, in a speech where he literally said 15 Americans died from the virus, is insane. If you've realized that neither party represents Americans, congratulations. You aren't the last horse to leave the barn, but you're not exactly leading the pack.

Trump - Why I still support him ! #maga
When you let him bait you into this kind of thing, he wins. The end result is that you guys spent the last year dreaming of free everything, and you ended up with a guy who went to Soviet Moscow on his honeymoon and another guy who has dementia. Trump's gone from +180 to -115. The answer isn't to be worse than he is, it's to be better than he is. Which ought to be really easy, it's a pretty low bar.

There are no "levels of bias". There's just bias. Everyone has it. Your job as a consumer is to understand the bias and interpret accordingly. The NY Times discovered that millions of people were starving to death in the Ukraine. But because they loved communism, they lied about it, and got a Pulitzer for their lies. Biased enough for you? Does your chart inform your understanding of what they did?

He was talking about people with six fingers. In Italy they're essential, judging by the fact that they're open. Also, you can buy hard liquor at the grocery store.
