    There isn’t going to be any inflation you Twit- we might have to start dropping money out of helicopters and printing million dollar bills to avoid deflation. 

    Also nobody wants to hear about how you are sitting on piles of cash and free and clear and don’t have a concern in the world other than you might have a bit of a profit margin cut. 

    Seriously, people are beside themselves threatened with their very survival and that’s what you post?

    Fuck off with that tone deaf bullshit. Go back to pretending you have the virus and  posting fake cures. 

    Don't be an ass.

     

    1.  There will be inflation but probably more in the form of stagflation.  It's the governments only route at this point.

    2.  You don't know me, my partners, or my frugal lifestyle.  I drive an ugly old ass vehicle and it's paid for.  Most of my cash is in my business so cash flow is tight for me.

    3.  The virus stuff is real.  My kids are now almost through.  We have immunity.  It's not my information.  I was passing along info from doctors in HK that was published on Pub Med.gov.

    4.  I live what would be considered a rougher existence to most Americans.  Especially fellow Texas grads. but my buddies who used to make fun of me are now calling for money.

    Companies that can ramp operations back up quickly are going to be set to succeed. One reason that retaining employees now, as difficult as that is, will allow a company to come out of this red hot.  It's also an opportunity to reshape your employee base, and cut off employees who don't fit.

    I sub contract all of my employees.  Work to the lowest bidder.  I no pay til I'm satisfied.  Gotta retain margin and quality.

  3. A cancelled season may be all I need to distance from organized sports altogether.  I no longer follow NFL, NBA, or MLB.  Tread lightly herb.

    These clowns are anticipating their cut of the 2 trillion corporate bailout.  A year would give them plenty of time to disappear from the grasp of the common man.

    I’m a brown person.  Fairly self loathing here.  And my point stands for the world too.  The quarantine is the right thing.  

    It’s like our patients who want to go home before they’re ready...to care for others.  We tell them they need to get themselves right before they can help others.  Same damn thing here.  

    Understand that what we are doing here, in Europe, and in China is going to ravage the least on our planet.  I really regret our debt based economy but that's another topic altogether.  The least among us usually take the brunt of economic downturns because they will be the ones put upon.  Just sayin.

     

    Back on topic.

    I’m talking the US.  Nobody will starve here.  And it’s a short but deep recession.  With stimulus we will climb out relatively fast compared to 2009.  But to say we will never do this again if presented with the same situation is having a basic misunderstanding of science AND economics.  You can’t destroy the healthcare sector and not have more long term economic repercussions vs a shutdown like we are employing now.  

    What do you have against black and brown people?  The US economy is the engine for most of the world.

    ‘I don’t think it’s possible.  Even if public health officials think its the right decision.’

     

    More strawmen?

    My concern is the economic damage that is taking place.  Not only will it hurt the US but it will also have harsh effects on the world economy.  Currently the estimate for people starving to death by the day is 21,000 worldwide because of a lack of employment.  An economic depression would take us to what.... maybe 100,000 plus per day?

    Puts the current situation into perspective, no?

    I really wouldn't focus on divisions so much.  There is already a lot of discussion about allowing conferences to do away with divisions and have a single set of standings.  It doesn't hurt that Delaney who helped stop the ACC from being able to do away with divisions now has openly talked about supporting it.  It serves a lot of purposes.   It gives more flexibility scheduling wise and helps get the best 2 or 4 teams later in conference playoffs.

    Scheduling flexibility would help any conference expansion also.  Its a lot easier to maximize matchups and reduce travel costs if teams lock in 3-4 annual games, play some on a 50% basis, some on a 25% basis and maybe even some 1/6 or 1/5.  

    I think the PAC could be split between the Big 12 & B1G even.  It gives each of those leagues a late night game that they can't fill now.  It gives each league 4 time slots each day for games and the PAC on their own is just not strong enough.  It also would give the PAC more exposure to other parts of the country because they would be conference mates with 2 leagues that have a better fan base.   The only thing that would concern me if the PAC were split between the B1G & Big 12 would be a scenario where the Big 12 doesn't get one of the Southern Cal teams.  

    The only way I can see the PAC improving their tv revenues by significant amounts to stay competitive is if they were willing to put their T1 & T2 games in time slots that networks typically don't get great games, so they are the best game in town.  The easiest slot is 7PM PST/9PM CST but PAC teams don't like that because its late and some of the country goes to bed.  Some would say they already do but those are typically the lower tier games.  I think they need to put their better games on then and see how they do with no other competition from the other P5 leagues at that time slot.  The other thing they could do is try and allocate more T1 and T2 games to Thursday and Friday nights although Friday nights can lose some viewers due to high school products but usually  the best games are not on those nights.   The ACC might do better by willing to allow some of their T1 & T2 games to go to Thurs./Fri. also.       

     If the PAC was divided between the Big 12 & B1G (leaving WSU & OSU out) it would sure be easier to solve the whole playoff thing through expanded playoff conference championships to at least 4 and then producing a final four in football.  We would have no selection committees and politics, it would just play itself out. 

    Agree with everything here.  I would add that pod scheduling with a neighboring pod would be financially beneficial when considering travel costs.  One would need to do a cost benefit analysis of having bluebloods play every year vs the costs of all schools traveling across the country.  Costs are about to become much larger than they previously were.  I imagine once we get past this period in time that the schools will be moving quickly to secure revenue.

    Actually waiting in the car for my appointment, hoping to do just that.

    You have it.  The pain should be in your neck and back mainly but could be anywhere you have lymph nodes.  Fatigue?  Cough incoming.

  9. PSA:  It finally moved to all of my family.  The virus lingers and doesn't just go away.  I ran an experiment by taking each of the compounds individually to test symptoms and effectiveness.  I found that the ISATIS ROOT extract was the most effective.  This is probably due to the availability of larger doses.  My brother and wife are doing better but they have confirmed that it comes back.  You can mask the pain by taking advil etc but it does not deter the virus like the compounds.  The most effective route is taking all the compounds as it attacks the virus in different ways.

    When you first get the symptoms:  1000mg of Isatis Root extract will knock it down. It will take about 3 hours to realize effects through less pain. Next, 500 mg 3 times a day to be able to operate with no symptoms.  You may feel some mild pain but it's minor. 

     

    It will take over a week to a month to be well.  The symptoms lessen and become manageable.  The goal is to keep it out of the lungs and off the kidneys.  No fear.

    No THIS is the greatest post in the history of surly.  So you never actually have been tested?

    Tests aren't available.  It's not like having a rash.  It will knock you down.  The fatigue is hard to describe.  If tests were available and I have a horrible headache and am extremely tired, I'm not waiting in line all day.  I can't make you believe me, just trying to help.
