The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
daz28 replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I know Boris isn't the brightest guy, but he bragged about shaking hands, and now he's putting those health care workers at risk, and he's using much needed resources, because of his bravado/stupidity. I wonder if Trump will wear a mask now?? -

1. It's pointless to say any news source is more/less polar than another, because they have your number anyways. Frank Luntz started tracking, and with all the data they collect now, no one has a chance. They know exactly how you think, and exactly how to make you think what they want you to. The HBO series Westworld is pretty good at illustrating this. 2. Richard Nixon was a huge criminal, and Gerry Ford let him off the hook. Ron Reagan was a criminal, and G Bush let him off the hook. I could go on FOREVER, but you already know. With all this Trump nonsense happening I'd say there's close to zero chance that anyone EVER gets more than a slap on the wrist. You're ABSOLUTELY right they should be held accountable, especially to maintain any sense of integrity in our government, but it's a pipe dream. -

Yes that is most likely true, but Fox is REALLY good at getting people to hate the Democrat, so it's no guarantee he'd lose. As for you saying earlier you're upset no one went to jail, well if they started putting people in government away, they'd be doing it a LOT, so they kinda give each other a pass. Also, remember in this country the more you steal the less the punishment. I think for myself, and yes I'd shoot granny too if she swung that at me. -

If that's how you feel, you're going to love it here. Usually it's just Tiberius getting wrecked by like 12 people. I'm just bored, and basically trying to make some light comedy -

Even if it was properly executed, it would still leave them with Mike Pence who they feel is the second least qualified person for the job. There is absolutely no logic to any of it. -

You do realize that when a coup occurs, the main idea of the whole thing is to put your person in power after the takeover right?? Maybe Mike Pence was in on it too?? -

I'm still trying to decide which outcome is more desirable here. One lady with 4 stitches from an umbrella, or 3 dead teenagers?? Hmmm -

Was anyone charged with inciting the hate crime assault, or do we have to wait until January for that? -

U mad bruh? But seriously, lay off the Fox bro. I'm not trying to piss you off, but that's exactly what you sound like. You just left out the part where the media had 70% of the people believing it. My favorite part about the 'coup' nonsense is it fails to mention that it replaced him with what they would consider to be the second worst person for the job. That's not how coups work. Anyways this isn't the coup thread. The whole thing may have been sarcasm that flew clean over my head. Apologies if it was. -
I'm sure the stadiums already got their huge tax breaks. The point is I don't think Trump understands how taxes work even a little bit. Suppose everyone writes of $500 next year on football game expenses. Well, that's $500 of revenue the government won't see, but the NFL will just throw in their already overflowing coffers. The ignorant people will be happy they got to write off the expense, BUTTTT eventually the government will have to account for that. How will that happen, well by raising taxes. Guess who will pay those higher taxes? I know he's been writing off taxes his whole life, but someday someone has to pay the piper. If only life were really just tax cuts, lawsuits, and tying everything up in court for all eternity. Wouldn't life be grand. I have a much better idea. Use market economy. If you can't fill the stadium maybe lower the beer prices from $20 to $10 until it does fill up. I'm voting for Joe the Plumber next election, because he'd probably think my idea makes the best sense.

Trump also raised idea of the leagues working together to lobby for tax credits that once existed to deduct the purchase of tickets and concessions????? I know this is the dumbest place in the world to go against this, and I risk life and limb, BUT seriously?? Lobby for tax breaks for going to a football game? Subsidizing a $20 billion industry built around a ball game? I think if they only made $19 billion next year that's a hit they should be able to absorb on their own no problem.

This looks like some promising numbers. Finally some good news: New York also reported fewer hospitalizations on Saturday than it had in days prior, with 574 new admissions reported on April 4. As Cuomo reviewed at the start of Sunday's address, there were 1,095 new hospitalizations on Friday and 1,427 on Thursday. https://www.newsweek.com/governor-cuomo-suggests-number-new-yorks-covid-19-deaths-dropping-over-past-few-days-1496201 -

I agree. For every person saying Cuomo should have got the ventilators in 2015, there's another saying Trump said it was unprecedented and there's no way you could have seen this coming. You can't have it both ways. -

Him saying it was a hoax was misconstrued, but he DID say he thought that the media and the Democrats were happy this was happening. That was incredibly dumb. Sure, both sides will use this politically. He'll try to say he did the most tremendous job of any president ever, and that we were lucky to have him. They will try to say he mishandled it, but NO ONE is happy about this. That's absurd. -

I think people have been pushing narratives since the beginning of time, and people have been falling for it for just as long. While I may not agree with some of your ideas, I do agree with your general gist. For every CNN viewer there's a Fox viewer, and for every Trump supporter, there's and Obama hater. The polarization is very real. Keep in mind, the media doesn't have a responsibility to truth, it has a responsibility to be profitable. I know you and I understand that, but most people don't. -

My grandfathers grandfather was alive and well when slavery was legal, and I hold a lot of the things that he taught my grandfather dear, so it's not as long ago as you might want to believe. If you want to go back to a time when many people on this board were alive, we can discuss the civil rights battles of the 60's. These are facts that have no right/left leanings, so maybe you ought to slow your roll. If you don't like the facts I post, you can use your ignore feature. I don't come here to argue my opinion, because it's not worth any more than anyone elses. -

Your trying to say that if it's raining outside that people will still believe the weather man who said it was sunny and beautiful. I disagree with that. As for the other things you mentioned, they are called differences of opinion, and some could argue that America is more about being allowed to have a difference of opinion than what you feel America really is or should be. Don't forget not that long ago people were "conditioned" to believe slavery was ok. I hope they didn't blame their ignorance on what the local newspaper was telling them, and fully accepted it themselves. -

The only reason that is would be that everyone has their heels dug into their own 'sides' rhetoric. Admitting you are wrong is now a sign of weakness, rather than a sign of intelligence. I will also admit that the media does do a really good job of spinning things so that black is white and little boy blue's a big girl now. -

It used to be that we relied on our president to pull the country together in a crisis. In fact it's what we considered to be his job. I'm not sure that's possible anymore, but blaming the media is a scapegoat, which assumes that us as citizens are too dumb to know what's good for us or to know what the truth is. I'm pretty sure that 90% of us watch the news that we feel is being honest, and would quickly change the channel if we felt is was misleading us. After all, it's pretty much our own fault if we let ourselves be misinformed in this day and age. -

Does anyone think that all states should always be completely prepared for any and all possible medical emergencies/situations(ie have all necessary hospitals/equipment/medicines/personnel on hand), OR do you feel we should have a federal stockpile that can be diverted to the areas as needed when necessary? I'm pretty sure most of us expect the latter as we do with natural disasters. I also do not feel there should be any need for anyone to be gracious to ask for OUR(yes our not your-looks at Jared) desperately needed supplies. I also don't feel there is anyone out there who is glad to see this happening, whether they be the fake news media or the yet another hoax Democrats. I don't think that saying that the 15 cases would magically disappear was very good advice to help people realize the gravity of the situation, and keep them at home for the sake of the "looking good" stock market. I could go on and on, but that's not really the point I'm trying to make. Ok, you can now tell me about all the people who WEREN'T the POTUS who also blundered.
