  1. I thought Canada was being too cautious not allowing the Blue Jays to play there , looks like they were right.
  2. The woman in the video said that she was wearing the mask to warn Americans about socialism. She was confronted in the store by other shoppers who called the move “sick.” Well Nazis were against Russian socialism among other

  7. Ex-Obama adviser warns of a potential repeat of the financial crisis New York (CNN Business)Joe Biden could inherit an even more disastrous economy than Barack Obama did when he won the White House during the 2008 financial meltdown. "Whoever is coming in there in January 2021 might be facing worse conditions than in 2009, as hard as that is to believe," Austan Goolsbee, who helped guide Obama through the Great Recession, told CNN Business. Goolsbee, who chaired the president's Council of Economic Advisors in the aftermath of that crisis, is worried that the fragile economic recovery will stall if the worsening pandemic isn't quickly brought under control. This is really playing with fire. They must get the spread of the virus under control. That's what almost every other country has done." FORMER OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIST AUSTAN GOOLSBEE "That will tank the economy -— just like it tanked it before," Goolsbee said in the interview. A worsening economy would cause countless companies and small businesses to collapse, forcing already-hurting banks to suffer massive losses. "It could cause a financial crisis," said Goolsbee, currently a professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. "We could be back into conditions like the 2008 financial crisis." https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/26/business/austan-goolsbee-coronavirus-economy-recession/index.html
  8. Uncertainty over future salary caps and wanting to re-sign our key players makes me error on the side of caution right now.

  10. He did inherit a crashed economy and two major very expensive wars. He left office with the economy reasonable in spite of the Tea party and The Budget Control Act of 2011 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_Control_Act_of_2011
  11. I saw Plandemic online . The scary part is some people believe it creating more anti vaxxers
  12. Even if schools do not open teachers will still do classes online . Likely be a hybrid system with students needing to be in class and those who can remote learn till safe. WNY looks ok right now , NYC needs to be more careful yet. This is a lot of stress for teachers and parents to deal with.

  14. That's why it would take a bipartisan President to unite and heal a fractured country.
  15. So you're saying Trump can't do the job of uniting the country ?
  16. Where does the buck stop ? Who is in charge of bringing the Country together ? Trump yes or no

  19. 2020 is just the ultimate disaster
  20. Yep hindsight is 20/20 Did the governors know at the start it was ok to have visitors , caregivers needed PPE and was there even a covid test for them ? Sending covid patients back to nursing homes from hospitals was the disaster that I don't understand.
  21. So ok to have visitors at nursing homes and caregivers without PPE and regular covid testing ?
  22. I'm going to guess high risk people like at nursing homes are now better protected. Better treatment now and younger patients do better.
  23. From what I read the gov borrows from SS and replaces it with gov bonds ?
  24. There are four basic types of payroll taxes: federal income, Social Security, Medicare, and federal unemployment. Unlike federal income tax that goes to the government’s general fund, FICA taxes fund only Social Security and Medicare program. The employee pays a 6.2 percent tax for Social Security expenses and 1.45 percent for Medicare. The employer must match the deduction and send the total amount to the IRS. Self-employed individuals pay 15.3 percent of their wages, which includes both the employer and employee portion of the tax. https://www.bankrate.com/glossary/p/payroll-taxes/ If they cut funding for SS and medicare it will hurt future beneficiaries .
  25. Having the best talent evaluator scouts that money can buy is the key to success.
