We are really fortunate to have economy experts like GG and Kay to share their knowledge here.

Wonder if some CFL players under contract would be allowed to play in the NFL for this season ?

Former senior Trump administration official endorses Joe Biden Miles Taylor who served as a political appointee at the Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019 and as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, endorsed the former vice president in a video produced by the group Republican Voters Against Trump. He also wrote an op-ed published in The Washington Post calling President Donald Trump "dangerous" for America, "What we saw week in and week out, for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying. We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue -- cyberattack, terrorism threat -- he wasn't interested in those things. To him, they weren't priorities," Taylor says in the video. "Given what I have experienced in the administration, I have to support Joe Biden for president and even though I am not a Democrat, even though I disagree on key issues, I'm confident that Joe Biden will protect the country and I'm confident that he won't make the same mistakes as this President." In the video, Taylor accuses Trump of directing FEMA to withhold disaster funding to California following devastating wildfires in that state because voters in that state had not voted for him for President. "He told us to stop giving money to people whose houses had burned down from a wildfire because he was so rageful that people in the state of California didn't support him and that politically it wasn't a base for him," Taylor says in the video. Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as Trump's communications director, has also voiced his support for Biden. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/17/politics/miles-taylor-trump-joe-biden-endorse/index.html

She has a beautiful accent , she can do anything she likes ?

I blame the governors of any lawless areas for not having the National Guard putting a end to this. Arrest , no bail and a long sentence to deter this insanity.

Will the flu shot cause lower resistance to covid ? I don't believe it but the question is out there.

I'm skeptical of that , I don't want to risk having low immunity with the flu with covid out there (I'm high risk) That's a good question for Hapless in OTW , I'll ask

This pandemic ruined the economy no matter who is the next president.

School opening is the canary in a coal mine for this pandemic . We will just have to wait and see and hope for the best. I'll be getting a early flu shot this year trying to be safer.

A debate that would break all rating records would be Trump vs Harris , he would never ever do that.

Extend Beane and we won't have to worry

As @TomPelissero and @globejimmcbride reported, Patriots seventh-round pick Dustin Woodard (Memphis) has decided to retire. This wasn’t related to COVID-19, according to those familiar with his thinking; simply more a result of losing the desire to keep playing football.

Chinese officials say chicken wings imported from Brazil tested positive for Covid-19 (CNN)A sample of frozen chicken wings imported from Brazil has tested positive for the novel coronavirus in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, authorities said Thursday, the latest in a series of reports of contaminated imported food products. Shenzhen health authorities immediately traced and tested people who might have come into contact with the product, and all results came back negative; all related products in stock have been sealed off and tested negative, the statement said. News of the contaminated chicken wings comes a day after coronavirus was found on the packaging of shrimps imported from Ecuador, another South American country, at a restaurant in eastern Anhui province during a routine inspection, China's state broadcaster CCTV reported. Coronavirus has been detected on the packaging of imported seafood products across several cities in China. Since July, there have been seven instances where the virus was detected on the packaging of imported seafood products across the country, from Shandong province on the eastern coast to the municipality of Chongqing in the west, according to state media reports. These incidents have sparked concerns over the safety of imported foods. Chinese health authorities have repeatedly told the public to be cautious about buying imported meat and seafood. On Chinese social media, some have called for the suspension of all frozen food imports. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/13/asia/china-coronavirus-chicken-wings-intl-hnk/index.html

In the case of NY and CA it would mean some electoral votes would count Republican. In the 435 House electoral votes my concern would be the districts that are heavily gerrymandered.

Agnes Chow: Hong Kong activist hailed as the 'real Mulan' Agnes Chow, a 23-year-old pro-democracy activist in Hong Kong, has got a new nickname. Her supporters have started calling her "the real Mulan" - in reference to the legendary Chinese heroine who fought to save her family and country. Ms Chow was one of a handful of activists and media figures arrested this week under a controversial new security law imposed by Beijing. She has been charged with "colluding with foreign forces" - if convicted, she could face up to life in jail.
