  1. If you think these moves were done for profit motives, you're sadly mistaken
  2. You mean when the stocks just declined 30% in 2 weeks?
  3. They wouldn't keep her as Chairman if there was something untoward.
  4. Nothing unusual is going on. There are 500 Fortune 500 companies. There are 500 S&P 500 companies. Simple math will tell you there will be turnover at the top, especially when the CEO screws up, or the company habitually screws up.
  5. Probably still napping
  6. They clearly didn't go to the Sy Syms school of business
  7. How often has she been wrong?
  8. They have to throw the kitchen sink at Glenn or Peters and draft OL with their first pick.
  9. Another question no one is answering, why did Russia only get 1 SARS case and only 90 Wuhan cases?
  10. Why is PA trying to one-up NYS by closing liquor stores?
  11. Tom Hanks released into home quarantine. There goes that theory above.
  12. Where's Dwight Drane these days?
  13. There are no easy answers, especially in the face of unknown. I do think that once the tide turned to isolation, people treat it as a panacea, like DiBlasio shutting down schools for over one month. That essentially shuts the largest city down by one month. The aftershocks will linger for a long time. To me, the decision is similar to a wartime general who knows that a certain number of soldiers will die to prevent more from dying or to keep a position. The element of time is missing from the full explanation to flatten the curve. Hypothetically it makes all the sense in the world to spread out the incidence of the disease. But the length of hospital stays complicate the story by a lot. There's no guarantee that a flatter curve would be much more effective if there's a 12-day ICU stay per patient. To me that means just a longer stress time for the hospitals, with possibly only minor benefits, while you're destroying the other parts of healthcare systems and the overall economy. None of these are good choices, but people are treating complete social shutdowns as the best solution, when in reality it may not be.
  14. It's not a free lunch, and the unintended consequences could be more severe. Watch out for the spikes in suicide rates, and possibly many more overdose deaths.
  15. Will the cure be worse than the disease?
  16. A. Fed doesn't act upon tweets B. This type of action was weeks in the planning and final approval isn't instantaneous based on pre-market chatter. The markets are down and will continue to go down because you don't shut down 25% of the global economy and think there won't be a serious economic impact.
  17. Your timeline is backwards.
  18. I told the family to keep sharp objects far away
  19. Guessing Tommy Boy isn't headed there?
  20. Same draft as Shaq, and was rumored to be a possible Bills pick at the time.
  21. Coincidentally, when I took a first glance at this thread, I read it as “Jets trade for Calais... “.
  22. The owners played it perfectly. Pot testing was in the early February proposal, but suspensions for testing positive were out. Then the owners “agreed” to take out pot testing all together making it seem like a big concession ahead of the final vote. Then the league planted a story through ESPN that some owners hoped the players would vote down the CBA, because these owners really want an 18-game season. Worked like a charm.
