I think everyone has stories like that. The window washing company I hire could not get people to work for them early on because of that extra $600. The owner told me point blank how tough it was getting people to work, "That extra $600 means they make more money at home." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons someone chooses to go to a school like Harvard is for the connections you make.

B-Man Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 CORONAVIRUS HYSTERIA IS OVER The disease isn’t over, but the hysteria is. For many, the turning point came when public health “experts” who had bitterly denounced demonstrations against shutdowns as health hazards, responded to the Black Lives Matter riots with silence and, often, enthusiastic endorsement. That lasted until President Trump announced his intention to resume holding rallies. Once again, we are told that public gatherings are a vitally important health threat. It isn’t hard to understand the game that is being played here. As one state after another has lifted shutdown restrictions, some have seen increases in the number of Wuhan virus cases. Which should surprise no one: if one assumes that the shutdowns had at least some effect in slowing down the virus’s spread, ending the shutdowns will naturally lead to more cases. The mystery is why, in some states, transmission doesn’t seem to have accelerated. In any event, the shutdowns couldn’t be maintained 1) forever, or 2) until a vaccine is developed, proved safe and effective, and distributed. This is why I always thought the shutdowns were more or less useless. More at the link: 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of people still in hysterics but it's waning. Just hope it's in full retreat very soon. There's still plenty of fear to go around for those of you who want it.

Magox Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Lots of data coming in suggesting that the hole the economy is in may not have been as deep as once feared. This is an analysis that seems to be lacking out in the economic circles. The discussion is primarily revolved around the speed of the recovery, which of course is a very important component. However, there are other variables and the other variable is the depth of the hole that we are in. The Jobs numbers that came in this past month showed that we have about 10 million more jobs than where we feared we would be. Here is another good report. Quote Manufacturing activity snapped back to life in the New York area this month as optimism for future activity hit its highest in almost 11 years. The Empire State Manufacturing Survey posted a reading of -0.2 in June after hitting record lows in the previous two months. The gauge measures the percentage firms reporting expansion against those seeing contraction and is up 48.3 points from May. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a reading of -35. Monthly improvement came across the board, with the most glaring increase coming in the index of future business conditions. That level rose to 56.5, it’s highest level since October 2009 as 68.6% of firms see expansion ahead against just 12.1% that see contraction. The June reading represents a rise off the bottom reached as the coronavirus pandemic crushed the regional economy, but overall still reflects a standstill in growth vs. the sharp contractions seen in the past two months. This is good stuff 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not matter how pissed off people are if the GOP does not run a reasonable person for Governor in 2022, and if the RNC does not help that person. Cuomo will be reelected if he runs, as things stand now. I am hopeful the RNC sees a chance, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
