A large segment of the IC now believes it was released intentionally -- but can't/won't say that publicly because it would mean war.
Add this to the inflated numbers we saw from the CDC yesterday, the moving of the goal posts on the lock down, and the curious timing of the impeachment scandal and the first Covid patient arriving here...
This is starting to look real ugly.
You have to believe this sh?. from Rhino. Since he is an agent he has the inside scoop on the talkingoints. Rhino have you added dissidents from this web site to the subversive list of the FBI yet.
We have gone from area 51 to Wuhan. What a joke.
It was your special Donald who complains about China hoarding product which is exactly what he did to Canada....

Schobel is long overdue.
Kyle should and will likely get his chance.
Fred is a fan favorite, but not sure if he'll get up there. Gilchrest made it and Fred meant a lot more to the Bills for a lot longer.
Remove the murderer and there will be more room.
Seriously, Fred met more??.
Most of his time he didn't even start. Good team guy, effort, citizen for sure but Gilchrist was a different league. In a day when black was bad, when personality was not allowed, when an athletes voice was frowned on Cookie was the man.
He was disliked because of race by many...and ignored as a result. Hell, Bills fans loved kickers more than Cookie , Pete Gogolak.unless you were at the rockpile every week, or in the CFL stadium.

Imagine being insulted by a writer from a team that has no QB...?
What a joker...

2008...the last full year of Dickie Jauron, the softest unemotional coach ever!!
I was so frustrated with his lack of intensity and the lack of intensity of the team I gave up season tickets after 18 seasons. Could not bear to watch clipboard any longer.
Jauron would say please to a prostitute, and have a signed document.
Marv was gentle, but intense,

I live in a small town. Really small. 4000 - 5000 people small. One traffic signal at the “busy” intersection between the business district (my office) and the financial district (the local bank). There might be three or four cars waiting at the intersection at one time. So when some couple is walking their dog or a parent has their kids on bikes, they inevitably press the “cross walk” button and I get to the intersection just in time for them to dart across the cross walk while my light stays red for another 20 seconds. Basically, this little twerp (or the 50-60 yr old couple with dogs that drag them across the road in 8 seconds) cost me an extra 20 seconds....that’s 20 seconds I’ll never get back. Weren’t they all taught to look both ways and make a break for it? Why press the damn button?
#survivalofthefittest
In Canada this is a significant problem now. In the US, just use your assault rifle, There us nothing in 2A that allows people the right to cross walk buttons.?

Good questions. I haven’t seen a printed press release yet, only video -which won’t transfer here. I’m sure we’ll soon find out.
Why would you care.?

Talley....as has been said, HEART AND SOLE of the team and for the team. Never Sat down when the offence was on the field, stood with helmet in hand ready to have their back if the worst happened of to cheer when they scored.
If you saw him in the greatest comeback game you would agree...gives me chills just thinking about it.

Again - why should I respect a choice of yours that I can reasonably view as a threat to my well-being or my mother's life, not to mention potentially to our ability to open up and function as a society? If you want to be part of that society - shop in stores, go to work, etc - why shouldn't you be asked to make a change that protects societal function and health of other individuals such as wearing a mask in public? How does that differ from accepting other social standards, like wearing clothing in public or not relieving yourself in the potted plants outside the bar?
I don't think "but that politician, who will always get first-class front of the line health care for himself and his family and first priority for covid-19 testing, doesn't do it" is a very valid argument for you to not protect the health of the nursing home aide you encounter in the grocery store, who may work at a VA nursing home and unwittingly infect a whole wing of patients if her for-profit workplace isn't providing the workers with adequate PPE.
I think the gun thing is a bit of an extreme as an analogy.
And I hate wearing a mask while I'm out walking the dog. It's already hot and bothersome here in St Louis. It keeps me from smelling the roses (literally! handmade, but good mask with shop towel filters). But I do it, because I view it as a civic duty to protect my fellow citizens should I unknowingly be infected, and as my small individual contribution towards being able to reopen our country safely ASAP.I personally would strenuously resist being forced to put a blue dot on my forehead to "prove" I am safe, because scientifically, there's no such proof at present - applied to a group, antibody tests are useful in showing what the overall infection rate is in a community. On an individual basis, an antibody test showing anti-covid-19 antibodies could occur while I still have an active viral infection. It could also result from a lab error, or a false positive. So it really doesn't "prove" much, objectively.
I get the blue dot ...it was a little extreme to prove a point, but I can, or may die from either the virus or the gun. In both cases I would not have a choice, but the citizen who refuses to control the gun or wear the mask ( in the presence of others not including a dog) can expell the virus on me, or a blank and they do not know, BUT they have control of the situation so therefore they are guilty as sure as they would be knowing they had the virus and spit in your face. This has already been proven in the aids scenario.

Citizens may have the right to carry a gun or pocess a gun. They do not have the right to point the gun at me without reason, nor to they have the right to pull the trigger whether the gun is loaded with a live round or blank.
Anyone who ventures out into public with out a mask is potentially pointing a gun at fellow citizens, whether they are infected or not.
These same people would resist being tested and being forced to put a blue dot on their forehead to prove they are safe, that would be a threat to their flippin liberty.
Wear a mask or be charged with a crime....period. IMHO.
This is a temporary measure and only the most disrespectful of people would refuse.

Where does all this concern about LB come from? We’re consistently only using 2 at any time. The “third guy” has his hand in the dirt.
We’re FINE at LB.
Please rewatch the games.
Anyone else interested in being permanently banned today. I’ve got the oven on full blast.
Step right up, step right out!
Ban me if you wish...you have become rather power happy...and ignorant...maybe the position of moderator has made your head swell...
Respectable behavior and comments from mods is also wrong...

Markets have gotten over heated well before MBAs and algo trading. Most institutional investors are getting judged on performance quarterly and annually so the incentive is there to hit your numbers short term. Longer term strategies are more common in the VC, PE, and hedge fund space which is off limits for the average investor since you need to have considerable net worth.
I think the market cycles are only going to get more dramatic since more than half of the money in the game is now passively traded by way of ETFs. Much of the trading activity is not informed investors setting the price of an equity but ETFs re-balancing to mimic the performance of another asset, commodity, or index. Also, we have central banks propping up equity markets. Many investors have felt the market has been overheated and growing despite suspect fundamentals for years but sitting on the sidelines you would have missed out on a 30% run. So I guess you just keep playing, see how far the market can run, and have your plan for when the music stops.
Again valid stuff, but the issue of MBAs, algorithms, fund investors, etc has changed the market...all short term video games, market fundamentals have nothing to do with a valued company...but valued companies today have no value today...Cargill is no better or worse company than 2 months ago, nor is Amazon. Commodity companies like oil should be affected as their raw material is in flux with no understandable future, Ford should fall because they are a totally flawed company, like GM, but there is no reason Eaton to feel any affect.
Anyway...if you are 35...a great time to be an investor...if you are 75 and comfortable, good time to not be an investor.

The market was completely over cooked. Any negative event was poised to cause a correction. Two generational type events like a pandemic and oil price war among two of the world's largest producers, AT THE SAME TIME, certainly meets the criteria.
When the entire market trades at 30x earnings, a miss is significant. Several consecutive misses is a big deal.
The rise of the stock market which has been primarily driven by a handful of companies (AMZN, GOOG, FB, TSLA, MSFT) has masked fragility elsewhere. Lowering the statutory corporate tax rate raised the value of every dollar of cash flow 10% - 15%. The S&P and Dow were kicking ass but earnings were not growing anywhere near in line with overall indices. Also, there are no yields so you have equity buying action because there is nowhere else to make a return on your money.
In summary, we were due for a correction. It happened and the government responded with a trillion dollar stimulus package which means maybe theres enough cheap money available to hit new highs before we realize an even bigger correction.
being over cooked is an example of the baby MBA algorithms that controll the market. Nobody invests based on long term strategy and success, these nerds have short term vision like a video game.
The need for correction is true. In the end inverters have been trained to follow the algorithm not sage advise on companies.
Your position is well thought out.

I'm amazed at how the stock market is recovering from the impacts of the pandemic. It's almost gained back half the losses taken during March. Once this virus is behind us, is it unreasonable to think the Dow could be at 35K within a year from now?
There was no reason for the fall across the board to start with. The vast majority of companies would show bad quarters or 2 but there strength was still there. The Dow is controlled by nerd MBA with computer degrees who use algorithms not business sense to judge success. The stock markets have become computer games.
Nothing has changed since the derivative driven crash of 08.

Well if that is the only option you see, it should make it a done deal. People are tired of being isolated. Now Cuomo is saying they believe at least 2 million New Yorkers have already been effected with this virus which would leave the death rate % in NY at .009%. They also think similar numbers are in Cali, which would even make their death rate lower than NY. Hopefully things will be opening up & that includes sporting events. At least that is what I am hoping.
Unless of course you are one of the .009%.

Was Bart Starr done...?
Rodgers curve has flattened in GB. He has to now reinvent his style to be successful. He needs a new offence system to allow continued success. He may have to change teams to get the mental approach that will be necessary.

Really wanted Dobbins at this pick but Epenesa is a great pick also. He was a standout on that Iowa defense. Deceptively quick, violent with a true nose for the football run or pass. Relentless. He just doesn't have that elite speed.
He's definitely NOT Kelsay or Hansen 2.0. He's much more driven, uses his length and has far more range.
I'd say 65% Schoebel, 35% Bruce Smith
He's got some moves.
65% + 35% = 100% Phil Hansen

NB, I’m not saying I disagree he has a risk of getting hurt, but he has faced defenses in the SEC for years and that is by far the toughest division in college ball. Just think about how many defensive players will be drafted from the SEC over three days.Your point is valid, except look at the results...injury, injury, injury...when he faces real defences each week...mom's house will look good.

Shady should not be talking. He has quit 2 or 3 yrs ago, but kept getting his paycheck. What Davis did was quit improperly for sure, hurtful to teammates but decisive, Shady just likes money and has no guts. It appears his girl friend needed to be paid off.

One of the most influential days of my life. Protests that were non violent and flower power was more important than a friggen phrase. NOT ONE WEAPON WAS NEEDED OR USED.
Today we watch a??'s think that protesting with an AR 15 and guns is cool.
We cared about society as a whole. We wanted the world to be a better place. We did not think of individual freedoms.
We tried to stop violence and war....Today they want to insight violence.
Make love not war was not a just a slogan.
