I’ve been wanting a swamp thing 37 for a couple years. Low and behold there are two in town now. I’ll be buying one of them in the next week or two. | ||

I think if the government does release the suggested checks they are debating, you are likely to see some traffic for books priced in the 1-2 k range | ||

What's up with Italy? is it just a very old demographic? Do the young people move out of Italy and raise their kids in other countries? The death rate there is like 8 times most of the world, twice that of China and the total numbers now are greater than in China. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster Living in Hong Kong - you can not take the official numbers for China real. The actual numbers are probably multiplied by 10 (incl people who died). Until early February many people in China were denied testing and if a person died without being tested - it is not part of the official number |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller It is a combination of multiple things. 1) Italians live long. They have many elderly people 2) they give cheek kisses all the time 3) many “kids” in the 20s and 30s live with their parents - and have passed the virus on to their parents 4) family ties are strong and family dinners across generations are not uncommon. 5) northern part of Italy has a large population of Chinese workers due to the fashion industry. There are a lot of visitors between northern Italy and China. |

I wonder if there is an insider trader equivalent for folks with classified or sensitive information? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte From what I understand Senators and Representatives have legally excluded themselves from insider trading laws. That kind of thing only applies to those of us not in powerful government positions. I believe their argument is that they have constant access to information and any trade they make could be construed as insider trading. |

Regardless of what trump is, we have no choice but to support him in this crisis and pray he starts to make sensible decisions. I just wish the fact checking as demonstrated in the video was unnecessary. |

I think it's great the way it ended. He's now taking steps that we need as a nation. In the immortal words of Cheech Marin "Better late than never". AND, despite the public rhetoric, Trump was making appropriate moves despite what he was publicly saying before the 17th. | ||

Trump and his administration has handled this perfectly. Unlike the last President who let 17k die and 61 million get infected because he was late to act. This is no one's fault. The reason we aren't Italy is because the US is the best country on the earth and our leaders took steps to help us way before this started. |
