Since the stock’s June low, Tesla shorts have covered 19.11 million shares, worth $11.1 billion, and are down $12.43 billion in mark-to-market losses. and “George Soros comes to the rescue of sinking Tesla”. And investors who are bullish on the stock received the news happily: Conservative anti-environmentalists, hard core right wingers, Q, etc. got handed their crying towels by Soros once again. $12.5 billion US in losses in just over 1/2 a year. Evidently Mr. Soros is going to use some of his profits to help democracy and democratic causes. All the poor(thats financially poor) Tesla haters with no balances in their 401K accounts.

Sir, Yes and YES.. Its well known thought the world that high US drug costs subsidize the rest of the world. The US pharma industry uses the arguments that it protects US jobs in R & D. It also funds a massive US lobby effort in Washington. Thats also why trump originally promised to overhaul high US drug costs and why it went nowhere.Has Trump Actually Done Anything About Drug Prices? U.S. Drug Prices vs The World

So do I, currently I have slightly over 35,000 empty brass ready to go in my XL-650. I have a full IPSC plate rack plus another 1/2 dozen steel targets ready to punish this summer.

Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns? Scientific American 2018 -"it's largely because they're anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market and beset by racial fears ... - men who are anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market, and beset by racial fears. They tend to be less educated. For the most part, they don’t appear to be religious—and, suggests one study, faith seems to reduce their attachment to guns. In fact, stockpiling guns seems to be a symptom of a much deeper crisis in meaning and purpose in their lives. ... - discovered another motivation: racial anxiety. “A lot of people talked about how important Obama was to get a concealed-carry license: ‘He’s for free health care, he’s for welfare.’ They were asking, ‘Whatever happened to hard work?’” Obama’s presidency, they feared, would empower minorities to threaten their property and families. ... -The insight Stroud gained from her interviews is backed up by many, many studies. A 2013 paper by a team of United Kingdom researchers found that a one-point jump in the scale they used to measure racism increased the odds of owning a gun by 50 percent. A 2016 study from the University of Illinois at Chicago found that racial resentment among whites fueled opposition to gun control. This drives political affiliations: A 2017 study in the Social Studies Quarterly found that gun owners had become 50 percent more likely to vote Republican since 1972—and that gun culture had become strongly associated with explicit racism." and " “Guns, therefore, provide a way to regain their masculinity, which they perceive has been eroded by increasing economic impotency.” I'll stop now as I recognize that such fact and research is highly inflammatory to high ego Caucasian males of certain demographics. As the aforementioned article suggests. Scientific American (informally abbreviated SciAm or sometimes SA) is an American popular science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles to it. It is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States (though it only became monthly in 1921).

Trump Asks Infectious Diseases Expert, Pharma Execs If Flu Vaccine Would Work Against Coronavirus Evidently the concept that drug companies have to design a new flu drug every year to target the mutations. Has escaped Don't Brag about Your Large Brain, Pres. trump

Touché, but of course the "Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution declare that governments cannot deprive any person of "life, liberty" So when do the victims of unrestricted gun rights see their rights to life and liberty addressed by statute or amendments to the constitution? When they pry the Ar-15 from the cold, dead fingers of ______?

Sir, you have provided prima facie as to why AR-15's are unnecessary, thanks for that. In addition: Strict firearm laws reduce gun deaths: here’s the evidence Gun Control in Australia, Updated “While 13 gun massacres (the killing of 4 or more people at one time) occurred in Australia in the 18 years before the NFA, resulting in more than one hundred deaths, in the 14 following years (and up to the present), there were no gun massacres.” "While criminals will always find ways to get their hands on guns, the Firearms (Amendment) (No 2) Act that was brought in 20 years ago has made an undoubted difference to the gun landscape in the UK, just as similar legislation did in Australia." In the past I've owned Noveske , BCM as well as two cheaper makes of Ar-15's. HK-91's as well as a dozen makes of handguns. As you yourself suggest shooting can be fun without the need for semi-auto. It can also be done without high capacity or even detachable magazines. Meanwhile at the NRA corruption reigns Secrecy, Self-Dealing, and Greed at the N.R.A. On NRATV, .. ideos of the spokesperson Dana Loesch, a former Breitbart News editor who has said that mainstream journalists are “the rat bastards of the earth” and deserve to be “curb-stomped.” MMM... NRA spokespeople urging violence over the issues of free speech. "Over menacing images of masked rioters, she asserts that the only way to stop the left is to “fight its violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth.” A lawyer and activist called Colion Noir, whose real name is Collins Idehen, Jr., also has a large following. After the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, Noir appeared in a video chiding “all the kids from Parkland getting ready to use your First Amendment to attack everyone else’s Second Amendment.” ... "the N.R.A.’s dire financial state. According to interviews and to documents that I obtained—federal tax forms, charity records, contracts, corporate filings, and internal communications—a small group of N.R.A. executives, contractors, and venders has extracted hundreds of millions of dollars from the nonprofit’s budget, through gratuitous payments, sweetheart deals, and opaque financial arrangements. " a senior N.R.A. employee describe a workplace distinguished by secrecy, self-dealing, and greed, whose leaders have encouraged disastrous business ventures and questionable partnerships, and have marginalized those who object."... "At the N.R.A.’s annual meetings, he disparages “élites” who “long to turn America into some European-style socialist state.” Last year, he told the crowd, “We’re standing at the edge of fear, staring into the abyss of the demise of our country and its freedom we care about most.” " The N.R.A. had spent more than fifty million dollars on the 2016 elections, mostly in support of Donald Trump," The lengthy article describes in detail how the NRA has spent over $100 million in the last five years for sweetheart under the table deals with insiders. Including lavish compensation for its president and his wife. Corruption in the NRA, just like Washington and the White House.

Yeah because US life expectancy is falling and since trump was elected US suicide rates spiked Why Is America’s Suicide Epidemic Hitting Trump’s Base So Hard? While the standard of living for average US wage earners has declined:The average worker isn’t seeing Trump’s “economic miracle.” Here’s why. Meanwhile natural disasters are destroying the US insurance markets: Climate change: can the insurance industry afford the rising flood risk? from above: -"only 15 per cent of US households have any flood coverage at all. During 2017’s Hurricane Harvey that hit Texas and Louisiana, 70 per cent of the estimated $125bn in damage was uninsured. "... -" Flood insurance is mandatory for anyone in the US with a government-backed mortgage"... -"Between 1978 and 2003, the NFIP paid out claims of under $500m a year. Since then, the claims have averaged $3.5bn a year. Premiums and fees have been inadequate to cover the payouts. In 2017, the federal government forgave $16bn in NFIP debt. Even so, the scheme owes $20bn to the US Treasury. "... -"NFIP charges premiums that do not vary with the replacement cost of houses, so expensive houses pay below-market rates. It means taxpayers are effectively providing subsidies for luxury beach houses. “The more expensive your house, the better deal you are getting from the NFIP,” ... -"The NFIP is not permitted to withdraw coverage once it is granted, so pays repeatedly to repair and rebuild thousands of homes in high-risk areas. According to the Pew Charitable Trust, such “severe repetitive loss” properties had cost the NFIP more than $12.5bn as of 2016." Oh well, hidden subsidies that climate skeptics can deny and conceal. Nothing to see here!

What do you mean and how do you define that? As "The 1990s are widely regarded as a period of economic prosperity. From the end of 1990 to the end of 2000, the S&P 500 exactly quadrupled, rising from 330 to 1,320."....mmmm and who was the president for eight years of that decade??? For the last decade its only increased threefold. In the 1990's US debt increased 3.01 trillion. In the last decade it increased 10.83 trillion....and who was the president for most of that 2009-2017 growth?? So the increase in debt was threefold more and growth substantially less.

Both yourself and Kallend run neck and neck for concise and well documented responses, well done. I'd add the latest US Gallup poll on environmental issues for US respondents. In poll after poll the majority of US residents want greater standards for environmental protections. In addition most feel the US government is not doing a satisfactory job. Including 69% of Americans that support the Paris climate accord agrement.

Since President Regan is dead and a Reagan solution isn't available. Thats about it.

Such a common view for preppers. I plan on acquiring many AR-15's should society go zombie because I have a Accuracy International .300wm with conventional and thermal optics.

Too funny, You're boss didn't order some sort of ???? as a result of that?

"A study on 138 hospitalized patients with 2019-nCoV infection, published on February 7 on JAMA, found that 26% of patients required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and 4.3% died, but a number of patients were still hospitalized at the time. [9] A previous study had found that, out of 41 admitted hospital patients, 13 (32%) patients were admitted to an ICU and six (15%) died.[5]. The Wang et al. February 7 study published on JAMA found that the median time from first symptom to dyspnea was 5.0 days, to hospital admission was 7.0 days, and to ARDS was 8.0 days.[9] Previously. the China National Health Commission reported the details of the first 17 deaths up to 24 pm 22 Jan 2020. A study of these cases found that the median days from first symptom to death were 14 (range 6-41) days, and tended to be shorter among people of 70 year old or above (11.5 [range 6-19] days) than those with ages below 70 year old (20 [range 10-41] days.[6] People are making a serious mistake to think that China medical care for the virus is fundamentally defective or poor. Here are the latest stats for Italy. Which has a health care system the full equal to the US. In Italy, the head of the country’s civil protection agency has confirmed the death toll now stands at 34, five more than a yesterday, while the number of infections has risen 50% to 1,694. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Mortality Rate The WHO or someone like JAMA is the place to get facts. Not trump, the White House or Fox News(not directed at yourself obviously). The largest factor influencing the published mortality rates are the number of tests done. asymptomatic Covid-19 carriers likely never get diagnosed, in most cases. In Iran, sanctions and a poor medical care system likely result in dramatic under reporting. Mostly due to lack of diagnosis capacity. But politics also influences disclosed figures.

Report: Fox News Criticized Its Own Guests For Spewing Lies About Ukraine "an internal Fox News memo, which centers on the Ukraine timeline and the misinformation surrounding it—and pointedly criticizes several longtime Fox News guests who have spread these lies. The 162-page research briefing book, titled “Ukraine, Disinformation, & the Trump Administration” and written by Fox News senior political affairs specialist Bryan S. Murphy, “openly questions” the credibility of Fox News guests Toensing, diGenova, Giuliani, and former Hill columnist John Solomon, who has since become a Fox News contributor. " Peddling lies to Fox viewers to benefit and conceal the criminal action of trump and his inner circle. Seems to have been documented.

Upon reflection I believe I owe you a full apology. If we were face to face I would not call you personally stupid and its foolish on my part to label trump supporters stupid. I don't believe all trump supporters are stupid. IMO self interest, fear and other factors drive their decisions. But clearly you're offended and put off by the broad brush of adjectives I use to describe trump. Then paint his voters with that same brush. Thats foolish and wrong.For that I apologize to those that support him. IMO trump is the embodiment of evil. Sometimes my opinions of him get labeled on those who have the right of democracy and free opinion to support him. His supporters need not nuance differences between him and his actions. From the real reasons why they support him. Many years ago I used to believe Greenpeace, anti-war activists, anti-gun activists, etc. were stupid. Today I know better. Feel free to correct me again should I fall into the weak trap of demonizing trump supporters. Of falsely labeling their absence of character because trump has none.

Your ego is only matched by your foolishness. If you imagine a period of time that anyone is not here reading your drivel. Arises from anything you come up with. Then you are in mindstep with your stupid friend. Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration

Quite right about Quayle. Certainly as a trumpite republican. You'd know that. Certainly didn't miss your baiting without purpose. Instead of quoting me again and again you could have brought some facts to the covid-19 debate. Except you can't seem to support your child like debating skills with fact, purpose, logic or conclusion. Troll, you can't seem to understand or recognize that these forums are for discussion and debate about politics. Predominantly trump. You can't seem to separate his stupidity in speech, thought and action. From your personal endorsement of him and whats become of the old republican party. Reflect on that idea and you won't see trolls hiding behind every thought.

No that would be Christian Evangelicals who hope for the end of the world and the "trump prepper" subculture.

I know but its difficult to quantify the US health care system with traditional quality health care in western countries. The US has 66 confirmed cases now and one US fatality.

Number of Deaths per 100,000 Population Caused by Influenza and Pneumonia The previously quoted mortality rate for covid-19 is 2%, from above .000143 or 14.3 deaths per 100k infections in the US. Also showing higher mortality rates in poorer US states.

Thanks for that. Its sometimes difficult to get updates on the nutball news, talking points, feeds, etc. of Fox news, Q, trumpites. If Greta has reached the demonetization stature of Soros she has truly arrived.
