They should be if it had the mortality rate of SARS at 11%. COVID19 is currently at 2%. However, the transmission rate for SARS was a lot lower. SARS outbreak had only 8,000 people infected. Coronavirus is at 80,000 infected and growing.

That Black Rock thing lol BlackRock has $6.28 Trillion under management (2017). 2018 US Oil and Gas industry revenues: $181 Billion. So basically US petrodollars are a rounding error for BlackRock.

Trump is hoping for the same. It does however have the potential to have devastating economic consequences, which you have started to see in the stock market the last few days.

Of course they do and I wouldn't propose any change to that. The difference is politicians not doing what is best for their constituents and explaining that, but using wedge pieces to get themselves (re-)elected. Specially when it turns out to be worse for their constituents. Things like promising Appalachians their jobs are going to come back. Gets you (re-)elected, but then leads to poverty stricken workers refusing re-training because their politician told them their jobs are coming back. Health care is very similar. Purposely undermining the proposal and then using the outcome to argue that providing healthcare is bad is not good for your constituents. It is good for getting yourself (re-)elected.

Why that specific case for that specific person? -
Yup. And as been shown, many of those people are not basing their opinions and feelings on facts or truths. I don't think governing should be based on feels.
-
That was already made obvious through a trial. The question was why he would have been pardoned. I have very little doubt that is solely based on who Trump likes.
-
What is there to address? 31 of them represented districts won by McCain in the presidential election. In my very humble opinion they based their vote with solely re-election in mind.
-
It does make it quite clear why Trump would like Blagojevich.

I don't think the Epstein issue should be politicized. Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, if you are implicated in Epstein's world, it should be thoroughly investigated. Let the chips fall where they fall.
-
The idea that democrats have to sell that a society should look after itself is insane.
-
And it isn't just money. I was reading a story about a woman who's husband and child were involved in a car crash. Her child eventually succumbed to the injuries, while her husband slowly recovered. The logistical nightmare she went through, trying to find doctors who would care for her family, while accepting the appropriate insurance was incredible. All while dealing with the loss of a child. What is the purpose of an advanced society when you are entirely unable to take care of people in their moments of need?

I still think Bloomberg should buy all of Trump's debt and then call it.
-
Bullshit. I gave the same timeline.
-
But of course heartily support your money going to CEOs. Bernie should have said that the work generated by his plans would increase tax revenues enough to pay for itself. That is what the American public has faithfully swallowed for decades now.
-
Of course they are. A Trump vs.Bernie match-up would sow the most discourse. If I wanted to heavily divide apopulation, that would be the exact two candidates I would want. Specially in a country which has done little, if anything to try and prevent foreign information warfare.

Russia meddling to help Trump win re-election, US lawmakers hear
SkyDekker replied to yoink's topic in Speakers Corner
No it hasn’t been debunked. There are conflicting stories. You just choose to believe one side of it. Even the IG report only suggests it, but doesn’t state it outright. If you want facts and don’t convict based on feels there is no way you can say it has been debunked. -
Hey, you wanted to hide behind legal definitions..... You are very much at war with Russia and with North Korea, even if it looks different from Vietnam.
-
There was never a declaration of war against Vietnam.
-
Under any legal definition Jane Fonda is also innocent of that charge. Giving top secret information to your enemy, diverting military resources away from your enemy, weakening your intelligence apparatus to provide better access to your enemy. I wonder how those stack up.

Russia meddling to help Trump win re-election, US lawmakers hear

Clinton’s statement was that his timing of the meeting on the tarmac was a coincidence. Doesn’t stop you from not believing it. I agree with Yoink. -
I have no clue if you did or didn’t. But the president you support certainly does.
-
You completely missed my point. It is ironic to watch you type a complaint about lending aid and comfort to the enemy.
-
So funny to watch Trump supporters type this.

Not so much federal investment as the consequence of corporate tax cut. That cut has not lead to capital investment at all. Actually capital investment is lagging in the US. What it has done, is companies buying back their stock. Why you ask, well CEO compensation is generally tied to stock performance. Stock buy-backs generally drive up a stock price. Hence, extra cash is put into stock buy-back programs and not capital investment.
