The stronger signal would have been to actually fire him. Which you're allowed to do, y'know, with people you hire. But, seriously, he was not...

I'm old enough to remember the time when a savings account had a 6% yield. No "investment decision" required. Just park your money in the bank and...

Trump says it will be a miracle, or maybe seasonal, when the virus goes away, but who knows?! It might get worse before it gets better, but the US...

The difference is that self-funding billionaires can use their own money to bypass and/or exploit the nominating process. They can spend hundreds of...

Any idea what weather they have in Malaysia? I would not be too certain about this 'it will peter out in summer' theory.

To me it seems there's only one sensible way to deal with. Containment, treatment and isolation. Tomorrow is the meteorological last day of...

50,000. That's a great result. Who'd have thought cutting red tape could create so many bureaucratic positions.

I understand totally nothing about the Dutch way of dealing with this. I do know that the second diagnosed is a clerical worker in the hospital I can...

If its wrong for the black men, its wrong for the white men too. If anyone made Irish people with strong accents empty their pockets that would...

See, this is what makes Bloomberg's "take a math class scrubs lol pwnd" comment so galling, when his approach to probability and statistics is so...

I was too lazy to check :(

They've included midterms in that list, so that means every other year is an election year. And the dates are wrong! SARS was late 2002 to 2004...

I have started an occult ritual that will ensure the imminent devaluation of Wraithy's portfolio, in revenge.

Probably the group most at risk.

I believe that's the White House budget proposal - basically shred anything that helps people/ invests in the country, balloon military spending,...

Oh sure he "resigned" :rolleyes:. Because a resignation in politics is never asked for. Don't be naive :rolleyes:

Dude. When POLITICIANS hire someone then they usually do not do this independent of his political agenda. Next up: BlowJob hires Corbyn as their...

Have fun finding 50,000 people. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/28/extra-50000-border-staff-needed-for-post-brexit-trade-says-gove

Didn't those bozos just introduce a bill which reduces the CDC's budget once again?

This is where we all learn, the hard way, the value of a competent government.

The market was overpriced, so a correction was inevitable. This just happened to be the proximate cause. Having said that, we're all but certain to...

Flying the infected home on the same plane as healthy people against CDC recommendations was stupid, blaming the CDC for the stock market dip was a...

Imagine making a soup that was so bad you fucked over the global economy.

We're due a global recession, its been thirteen years already since the last one was triggered and this certainly could be the trigger. But then...

The stock market loves to overreact, and this looks like a panic. While I'm expecting a bounce, there's a good chance this an early indicator of a...

So, it's been awhile since we've had baseless speculation on markets. I've been mildly entertained by the market's current meltdown - clearly no one...
