Looks like the presser is back on. Broadcasters are showing the empty podium. What will today's episode be about? How will it end? Watch and find out! Apparently it's set for 5:30 ET now. 11 minutes,,,

You seem to be arguing both sides. The guys that are buying up the stock then reselling it at higher prices are setting price "commensurate with the demand". Economics is hard.

I think that Trump wanted to announce the final deal but it got delayed. They need to iron out the details... No update today apparently.

Germany is the country where people wait for the walk signal at 2 am, with not a car in sight or sound. I've seen it, it's true.. More Tweets about another Senator quarantining. Apparently Rand aAul continued going to the gym even though he had been tested, and eventually came up positive. Leadership...

Another presser at 1:30 west coast time, apparently. 25 minutes. Worth a watching, I'm sure. Things are already getting back to normal. R's and D's can't agree so nothing is being done on the final stimulus/bailout/recovery bill. Arguing over how many people should be allowed to die, probably, and making sure nobody gets a handout. Making sure they don't get any blame on them.

Things like this might be the real "game changer" as far as what types of action are taken. Interesting development. p.s. I'm not for or against Rand Paul, specifically, and am not promoting any of the tweets and retweets. It's just the world we live in today. The news is on the official Rand Paul Twitter feed. I found it in the "normal" media.

I've been reading a lot of new (like not old) media, magazines and web sites that I've never heard of before. Found this article, from the left side, that might explain why the state leaders are working so much harder than the Fed side. Why California and New York are taking such drastic measures. They might know more than anyone wants to say. I can't imagine somebody making up all of the details in the story. Looks like real news. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/lung-fluids-coronavirus/ https://www.motherjones.com/author/lizzie-pressler/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Jones_(magazine)

That is a good article. Not much actionable in it, but good reading. I think that he overstates "hysteria". It's the chicken/egg thing. If the media reports hysteria, is it media hysteria or real hysteria? I don't really get a feeling of public hysteria from what I've seen. Just a lack of useful information to guide people. The empty shelves have all filled back up. I just went shopping this morning, just to get ahead of a possible state-wide shutdown. Got everything I expected. No problems. We just need some good foresight and direction from the people that run the show. The government. As he states at the end, we need to remember how this whole mess was allowed to develop. Listening to 50 different leaders and trying to figure out who to believe doesn't instill much confidence. Thanks for posting that.. I haven't read a Tyler Durden article in years.

264 deaths in the US. Not terrible. You have to do the math yourself, they break it up by state. The contagion rate is still pretty dramatic, due to testing or otherwise. The number itself is big. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6- Cam Damage w/ pics....

It's about to start. Pick your favorite channel, turn it on, open your mind to new thoughts, see what happens... The President is first. He's mumbling... Fauci and Carson, no Pompeo or Pence. People are buying more stuff than they do at Christmas... Signed legislation providing medical leave to workers...at no cost to employers... Pence is here. He's up... He forgot to praise the President... So far no useful information. Nothing a person wouldn't see by reading the newspapers. Pence recommends donating to your local ministry... Pence sounds more like a President than the President. The missed opportunity seems so significant now. He could well be the actual President right now. A new guy is up Giroir. Department of Health. Talking about who should be tested...but not how they can get tested. Fauci is up. Good information. Don't run to get tested if you don't meet the criteria. It wastes PPE for medical workers. FEMA guy is up. New Yawka? Maybe Bawstun. Still pushing actions down to local authorities. Go find it, we'll pay you back... Carson is up...memories of the primaries... feeling drowsy..... Trump is itching to get the mike back... and he's up. Questions. States and localities are on their own. The Feds will not be facilitating anyone getting medical supplies. Get it, fight it out, we'll pay you back. Pence is back up, now he's making up stories about the President's greatness. Funny. The Presidnet restated the question from the press - "when will we get masks?" And nobody could give a straight answer. Now the President reveals that he has recommended sanitizing the masks. Genius! Pence - go to your storeroom, see if you have N95 masks, load them up and donate them. Message to the American people. Seriously, check your closet. And.. now the blaming of past admins comes. Trump speaks. Back to reality. Apparently FEMA is the one that is the contact point for supplies. But the FEMA guy can't give a straight answer. Trump back up - nobody expected this yada yada yada... rambling... And finally Trump gets to complain about the media. Better than yesterday, nothing extraordinary. Same old... The press can't resist trolling the President with responsibility questions. Waste of time. Just provides media fodder for the talking heads. Trump keeps falling for it though. Weird how he can't just say "I answered that yesterday". More trolling from the press now, and the same answer from Trump. Like watching a married couple argue... And Trump ends with one last blast of blame, then leaves...- COVID-19
So, political views have disrupted life and families for multiple generations. Can't fix that. But, you can find humor in almost everything. This is funny. I just Googled " Sean Spicer" and picked the one with the good picture. Can anyone, no matter what your views, imagine being this guy? https://www.thedailybeast.com/sean-spicer-makes-his-surreal-debut-as-a-white-house-reporter https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/17/former-white-house-press-sec-sean-spicer-enters-dancing-stars-lime-ruffled-shirt-life-10758206/- COVID-19
Nothing wrong with changing your mind. Adapt. Refusing to change beliefs even after new information refutes the old ones is an odd way of trying to create certainty from uncertainty. Nothing is certain in life. Lots of extinct tribes in the past. So, watch the presser today, see if this guy is worth keeping, and change your mind if you think things will be better the other way. Whatever way you started from. Hanging on to old decisions for the sake of pride, doesn't make anyone look strong. To the contrary. They're supposed to be up at noon, but nothing yet.- COVID-19
Clever sayings sound neat but are rarely useful. If you remove ALL government you're left with 7 billion individuals with sticks and stones. No guns, because manufacturing requires coordination and agreement. Who makes what, how they get "paid" (there's probably no money). So, no government basically means caveman days. You can argue about how much, the degree of government, but pretending that life is better without any at all is nonsense. Which is actually where much of the current mess came from. - Quiz Of The Day
