    The WHO doesn't even appear to be wrong. These things evolve over time. Like all the experts were saying that the virus wasn't transmissible to cats and dogs. Belgium now has the first case of a cat infected. Does that mean that everybody was lying up until now, or does it mean things have potentially evolved?

    Isn't that what you did the exact post before?
  3. SkyDekker
    Yes. And if you get something malicious out of that paragraph you might simply: A. be looking for something specific and not thinking too much. B. Simply lack the intelligence to understand.

    Again you extrapolate the behaviour of one to an entire group. I guess it makes you feel better.

    Well Trump called in to Hannity to say that he just doesn't believe that these ventilators are needed. On top of that he thinks buying them is maybe a bit too complicated.

    You made me go to the Trump campaign website

    Trump's campaign is threatening TV station they will have their licenses revoked if they play it.

    Trump campaign now telling TV stations they can lose their license if they air an ad critical of the president.

    Right here, they are doing it live.

    Turtle still thinks that the US will do much better than Italy. Don't think he is reading anything coming out of New York City.

    Seems hard to do. Try and train the dog to shit in the toilet?

    Well, for Boeing they paid an effective Federal tax rate of 8.4% on $54.7 Billion in profit from 2008 to 2017. That decreased in the years after that. So in that decade they paid $4.6 Billion in taxes. In the same decade they spent $47 billion buying back their own stock to make their executives richer. Their ask this week was $50 billion. So no, they are not getting their own money back and it is an absolute ridiculous point. It is socialism, because capitalism didn't work.
  14. SkyDekker
    Quite ironic that as capitalism falters the US demands quick socialist action to help themselves.

    210 new deaths in the US yesterday. That would be twice the number of car accident deaths per day. Rate is expected to increase in the coming days. Lists all the sources too. But site is made by first generation Chinese immigrants, so maybe they are lying....

    Shows that understanding isn't your strong suit.
  17. SkyDekker
    Your intelligence agencies didn't know China was lying? Maybe they should start doing their jobs then. My guess is that the pictures drawn for Trump in his briefings weren't clear enough. Maybe they used the wrong sharpies? Maybe the American public should vote for a president who can read?

    That same study gave the US a 100 index score (listing it as number 1 of 195 countries) in the "detect" category. I think now that we have real world experience, it would seem that the US really isn't that good at detecting, considering there are huge problems with testing kits. Think that report maybe got some other things wrong?

    That isn't a reflection on the healthcare system though. You specifically addressed the Italian healthcare system.

    Boeing and airlines shouldn't get bailouts either. They have all been using the majority of their free cash flow to buy back stock for the benefit of the executives with stock options and stock price based compensation. Turns out those companies have been mismanaged for the personal benefit of a select few.
  21. SkyDekker
    And they start sailing under US flag so they pay taxes in the US and have to abide by US labour laws.

    I think it is more that somebody told him that his properties are now closed and he needs to get people out and about so they can open and make money.
  23. SkyDekker
    Really don't understand the point of this comment. They do have a rather good healthcare system. it is simply completely overwhelmed at this point. Do you think the US system will do much better when you get to 500,000 cases?
  24. SkyDekker
    H1N1? You mean the American Virus right?

    He should have dumped long ago because at his age his exposure to the equity market should be rather minor.
