Covid - 19

[detltu]

His willingness to spend big and run large deficits is horrid. The way he attacks the people HE appointed is horrible (what he is doing to Jeff Sessions is disgusting, and it doesn't matter that Jeff was a horrid attorney general...which I agree he was). His constant tweeting is horrible (but I kind of give him a pass there because NO president has ever been attacked as much as he has).

That said, he is against killing babies (ones that will be ripped from a womb that would be given pain killers if we were to do surgery on them in that same womb). He doesn't call people "bitter clingers" that happen to disagree with him. He is trying to secure the border, at which time we can deal with the millions of illegals we already have here (they will likely be offered some pathway to citizenship once you can make sure that offer would not result in millions of people showing up on our border demanding the same and overwhelming our welfare system).

I did not vote at all in the last election because I KNEW Hillary was an evil POS and I had no idea what to expect from Trump. Now that he is 3 years into his term, I'd say he is infinitely better than the Bush, McCain, Romney big government republicans and equally better than the Clinton, Obama, Kerry dems. I will vote for him this year.

This is a very fair assessment. I could basically say the same thing except I would make a slight modification to the twitter comment. I have no problem with his propensity for tweeting on it's own, but the content of his tweets is usually troublesome. He either contradicts what his own team is saying or uses it to attack people.

I voted 3rd party in the last election because I didn't think Trump was a better alternative to Hillary. I was wrong. He will get my vote this time.

For those watching at home, this is what's called a "tautology". It's a logical fallacy of circular reasoning.

X is bad because it is Y. And what makes Y bad? Because it is X.

(Incidentally, dismissing someone's argument as "TDS" is also a logical fallacy. Though I must confess I've been guilty of that one.)

Ah, wrong...again. You simply did not understand my point. There is no circular argument anywhere in it.

Nationalized?

There is another option, ya know.

Tariffs on imports to bring their labor costs in line with ours and our standard of living. We should not be making money on critical industries just because someone outside of America is willing to work for a rat on a stick.

Note that we rarely offshore our board room participants to save a few bucks....the same should apply to salaried and hourly workers.

Off the top of my head I would say no. I think I know what you're thinking, it wouldn't be beneficial to a company's bottom line, that's why its being produced elsewhere (cheap labor, etc.).

Yeah, I think what you are describing is akin to socialism.

And sacrifice profit? What shareholder would want to own that company?

As a reminder, this was the Trumpian way of thinking on February 26.

My bad. I didn’t allow for the idiots running ALL the heavily populated cities.

Me!

Obviously the price of the item would not be the same price foreign governments are using to dump the product into our economy and destroy our home-grown businesses.

In a twist, hospitals are experiencing layoffs because ALL non-essential, non-urgent surgeries have been cancelled til further notice. Hospitals are clearing beds and capacity to deal with the anticipated avalanche of patients needing care thanks to C-19. So, until such time as this rush happens, staff, including nurses and some doctors and other support staff have been laid off...some to apply for unemployment benefits.

What is referred to as non-essential/non-urgent surgeries are the biggest revenue producers for the typical hospital. Obviously any elective procedure falls in that category but so do surgeries like knee surgery. I've had two knee surgeries and of course, either one could have been delayed for a few months without any adverse effect. I just would have been limping around a little longer.

This is a curious situation ain't it! And what if the rush of patients ala C-19 doesn't occur. Hmmm...

Well, you will lose money on that investment since your prospects for growth will be very limited.

Hey, it wasn’t just you. Here is why Trump wasn’t doing anything in February. His tweet from February 24:

“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

You are such a liberal, spinning clown my man.

On that day and time per the CDC and specialist he was correct. Now Kung Flu is known to have been here probably long before that date. Reason, China's lying to the world and allowing their people to transmit the virus worldwide!!!! And the Chinese traveled everywhere. Period!

Trump actually acted early by banning travel from China…something the left bashed him for at the time calling him a racist.This was 40 days before it was a pandemic. And Trump stopping that cruise ship from docking was the right move.

Of course now the people of NYC have abandoned the city traveling everywhere to get away as well. This will be devastating. Likewise the college kids on Spring Break doing the same.

This won't get better soon but I hope and pray it does by Easter just like Trump. But the above tells me no as well due to Americans not sheltering at home like they should.

Dang Commie CHINA!!!

He was decidedly not correct on February 24 according to reality and anyone with a basic understanding of epidemiology.

The China travel ban was like a QB sneak for a first down in college football where the QB spikes the football and gets himself disqualified for the next play only to have the backup comein and throw an interception that cost the game. In the press conference, the starting QB just wants to talk about how good he was for getting the first down.

You are so wrong as always! Feb. 25, was when the virus was already in the United States but before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and national leaders had raised the alarm with the American public.
