Laziness on my part/multiquote on your part and why not?

Xi and Putin are more trusted than Trump in world affairs, global Pew survey shows So a communist and a kleptocratic murderer are more trusted than your boy!

Gee everyone has a hate on for cruise ships!! Well on the face of it that makes sense. But " It was May 2013, and Mr. Cook, the chief executive of Apple, appeared before a United States Senate investigative subcommittee. After a lengthy inquiry, the committee found that the company had avoided tens of billions of dollars in taxes by shifting profits into Irish subsidiaries that the panel’s chairman called “ghost companies.” Google still exploiting tax loopholes to shelter billions in overseas ad revenue Apple, Google and Microsoft are hoarding $464 billion in cash and most of it is stashed far away from the taxman. Boeing Paid Tax Rate of 8.4% in Previous Decade, But Trump to Speak About Why It Needed His Corporate Tax Cut

"Further, as people think about the effects of automation technologies in the workplace, more say automation has brought more harm than help to American workers. " 48% mostly hurt,22% mostly helped, from above poll. Clearly rising standards of living arising from automation is not understood. Nobody will have a smart phone for "free" let alone the information that flows through it. Without automation.

Trump says he wants the country 'opened up and just raring to go by Easter,' despite health experts' warnings Which would be 19 days from today. "Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaking at a congressional hearing on Thursday, said predictions based on models should be treated with caution. “All models are as good as the assumptions that you put into the model,” ... What will determine the ultimate number, he said, “will be how you respond to it with containment and mitigation.” Nineteen days preceded by a hodgepodge mishmash of containment measures.

Oh come on. He just escaped impeachment. Now that Mattis is gone if he needed another distraction. He could go to DEFCON 1 and send the nuke's a flying. Even FOX would defend that.

John is making masks, others driving trucks for weeks on end without baths. I sure the hell wouldn't shower in a truck stop facility now! I feel guilty that I bought extra hand sanitizer and TP. I'll have to open some scotch so I can feel better about myself.

Have a look at the graphs here. They are free and updated regularly. You do know that after the Chinese government's initial coverup. They went to war and have been transparent to WHO and others? That Chinese stormtroopers dragged curfew violators off to jail? Why would they lie if they are now opening up restrictions.

I think you mean the pigs get fed from the teats of the taxpaying cow.

Autoland is available on the G3000 Which is a very advanced system. Common autopilots have been standard on the Flight Design light sport for a while. Its fairly advanced, reliable and the idea that used carbon fiber A/C can be had for under 60k. With a autopilot is quite remarkable. This isn't a 40 year old Arrow either. You're right about tech. Its been replacing skilled humans for over 70 years and contrary to luddites, it will continue. No Ken not directed at you.

China to Ease Coronavirus Lockdown on Hubei 2 Months After Imposing It " The Chinese province of Hubei, where the coronavirus pandemic began, will on Wednesday begin allowing most of its 60 million residents to leave, ending nearly two months of lockdown and sending a strong signal of the government’s confidence that its tough measures have worked to control the outbreak. ... The easing of the lockdown is the latest sign that China appears to have successfully tamed the epidemic by placing sweeping restrictions on hundreds of millions of people, while governments elsewhere flounder. Across Europe and the United States, new cases continue to surge, medical supplies are running low and many hospitals are overwhelmed. Government officials worldwide are ordering their citizens to stay at home — much as China did to Hubei at the start of the outbreak. ' Too bad the trump administration doesn't listen to the CDC.

Well at least we all know he's honest. He could stop in front of a Costco, open the back doors and retirement here I come!

The NY times has removed subscription requirements for stories on coronavirus. The section with graphs is superb. You can follow many variables in a easy to understand way. According to the graph above. The US will surpass China and Iran in about a week. Iran's numbers of course can't be trusted. China likely reliable IMO.

Too cool but You have a PhD so Meet The Italian Engineers 3D-Printing Respirator Parts For Free To Help Keep Coronavirus Patients Alive We all know you can do so much better. If you only apply yourself. I wonder how hard it would be to substitute "Our Hero's" instead of the "406".

He is supposedly the "wartime" president. Yet he is ready to abandon some of his population to the enemy. He refuses to go all out in the war. Refuses to listen to his generals(medical advice, CDC). trump needs to read The Art of War. Silly me! I had to edit because i forgot trump doesn't read books. See turtle people here do admit mistakes.

Wrong and wrong. China and S. Korea are both on the back side of the pandemic.Both in less than 60 days. Both with leadership.

The primary objective of good government is the health and welfare of the population. Then comes justice, defense, education and the public infrastructure of the country. Heart has nothing to do with the equation. The idea that the old and infirm would be abandoned on the trail as the tribe moved to new pastures, new hunting grounds, or moved for the winter. Went out of fashion when tribes settled in permanent villages. I know what you're saying. That there are economic costs to lockdown. That the entire economy can't be shut down for 18 months. Or however long it takes to defeat or accommodate this virus. This is going to take discipline of the population. Either self imposed by a willing population or by the sanction of statute. Its going to take a massive medical response of testing and hospital/medical treatment. Its going to take time. Time past November. All the rest is a bunch of B.S. Boeing aircraft will still built long after 2020. What is a landlord going to do if a tenant doesn't make rent payments during a quarantine? Within a couple months with quarantine, closed borders, testing, unemployment insurance and leadership. The economy can restart. "Thinking about how this will be written up in history books is one data point." S**T this is a defining point on how the character and values of every American is written in stone. November be damned.

How about we line up the old white republicans. including the Texan and the FOX reporter. Lead by example. Leading health officials have given their advice to democratic leaders in many countries already. The entirety of the EU, Canada, Australia and a dozen more. Then the less than democratic ones, ie. China and the sole outlier S. Korea. South Korea seemed to use modest quarantine and massive testing. China is obviously not a democracy. But everyone is using quarantine and testing. NO OTHER country is using a stimulus package as large as the US is. As a proportion of GDP. NONE. It almost seems as if the US needs resolution to C-19 one way or another, by NOVEMBER.

Thats almost as funny as this newsworthy story on FOX.

Agree, who would have thought 31/2 years would be an eternity!

Louisiana pastor has a different take on coping. Jebus will save all.He will punish the devil liberals in Portland. "A Louisiana church hosted more than 1,800 people at its Sunday morning service, going against state and federal guidelines for social distancing to hold the service. Pastor Tony Spell says the Life Tabernacle Church in Central believes in the “healing hand of Jesus,” even through an aggressive global pandemic. Throughout the service, parishioners were seen touching each other and closely gathering, with very few of them wearing masks or gloves. Twenty-six buses were used to pick people up from around the Baton Rouge area to take them to church. Spell said if anyone in his congregation is infected with the virus, he will “heal them through God.”

Agree " “In one week we need to be heading back to work, school, stores, restaurants and churches with new protocols in place,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted. “The risk if we don’t is that we lose far more in terms of death, pain and suffering than this pandemic will bring.” Larry Kudlow, the White House’s top economic adviser, .. “We can’t shut in the economy,” he said on Fox News. “The economic cost to individuals is just too great.” "Sources close to the Trump administration described ... “I think there’s a recognition that there needs to be some sort of medium between listening to the doctors and listening to other experts as well,” The experts being economists which will advise trump about the cost of body bags for elderly people. As compared to eradicating the virus like every other country in the world is doing. Meanwhile Canadians and Mexicans are celebrating that the respective borders have been closed. For elderly Americans fleeing the upcoming trumpdemic. Coronavirus: Closing Canada’s border to refugees violates international law, experts say Just go for it. Better to be a refugee with free health care. Than be buried just to help a president lose reelection.

Its OK John trump Is Developing a Case of Coronavirus Amnesia Its easy for republicans to forget what they posted an hour earlier.

Perhaps,Florida university announces five spring breakers tested positive for coronavirus Its difficult to teach common sense in a college environment.

Its the FOXeffect the flu is worse. As soon as the $1.8 trillion stimulus hits corporate America. Send the workers back to work. Health workers, the elderly, etc. who have to die, have to die. The idea that trump will do anything to save one life that he'd  “make the call in two minutes.” is propaganda from the left.
