Economy Destroyed
Yup, some of our greatest decades immediately followed the great depression. Hardship builds character!

Government Run Amok In Farm Country
It's interesting. I'm in PA, but on the NJ border.....so been "observing" the NJ beaches for 40+ years. Have yet to see any land swallowed by the rising seas. Sea's that by now surely should have begun to rise and force the beach houses back. Wonder when it will start?

A tale of two islands. You pick
Biden's island. Reasons: 1) "free" healthcare and education (including college). 2) No cops, since they've been defunded. 3) Universal basic income (hey, guess I don't need the "free" college). 4) No real accountability for my actions and no real reason to get out of bed in the AM. 5) Open borders so I can come and go as I please....in the event I do decide to get out of bed in the AM.

College town's political and economic dilemma.
One would hope a lot of American's can start to extrapolate that (specific locale adversely impacted when the money stops flowing) to the bigger picture.....like what happens when we send so much NET wealth out of the US for goods and services. Maybe now people will better grasp the COST side of the free trade arguments!

How long?
Would be fascinating to hear high level conversations in DC about this subject. It's been communicated imo that a new version of a cold war has already started....IP theft, currency manipulation, deindustrialization of the US. United States of China, I hope I miss the ride.

In the early days of the pandemic, the U.S. government turned down an offer to manufacture millions of N95 masks in America
I found a local hardware company with lots of boxes of disposable gloves and face masks today. All made in China. They probably come pre-laced with CV19.

The economy is fucked.
They're nominal GDP growth rates bolded above. Entirely different than saying "GDP was down 50%". Just cleaning up the sensationalism and fake news.

Dr. Anthony Fauci's ex-employee, jailed for 5 years, finally tells all.
Fauci's 78ish years old and probably working 80 hrs/week. Is it realistic he's still got a sinister and/or greedy agenda at this stage of this life? If he did, I think it's plausible he could have cashed in a while ago and been on easy street by now. The above video is interesting, but WAY too premature to jump to big conclusions imo.

Get it over with... 2nd wave is inevitable
And some peeps still question the lock down's effectiveness.

Get it over with... 2nd wave is inevitable
Given the degree of how contagious it is, you really want to slow roll the infection rate so as to not overwhelm the healthcare system. Hence the lock downs, in part. You wanna see panic and desperation, infect a large % of the country within a 3 month or so time frame.......you'd be begging for a do-over with Wuhaun-like lock downs.

New Vehicle Sales Continue Downward Slide in April, Edmunds Forecasts
I'm not seeing any incremental deals on new GMC half tons. $5-$10k off MSRP, depending on the model. Dealer inventory seems to be holding steady....which makes sense since GM production is shut down, as are most dealers. Used GMC's don't last long on Carvana, I guess more peeps are adapting to buying sight-unseen and delivered to your door, perhaps out of necessity since dealers are mostly closed. Will be interesting to see what happens to inventory when dealers open and GM ramps up production again. Cheap money and cheap gas should help sell, offset by unemployment, etc... All that said, I'm not driving much at all, so no real reason to replace my vehicle other than my desire for change.

Mitch “the turtle” wants states to be able to declare bankruptcy.
States should just raise taxes high enough to avoid bankruptcy. All pigs eventually get slaughtered.

We point fingers all day long, meanwhile we continue to increase their wealth our our expense, net. We'll reap what we sow.

The biggest bubble in stock market history
RMD's. And you can skip them in 2020, for most types of accounts.

SBA loans in stimulus package.
With the application and processing time, we should be back up and running by the time you actually receive the funds. The 8 week clock starts from when you get the funds.

Maybe they'll replace him with Cuomo from NYC mid-summer.

Bloomberg owns fake fuck Sanders
A) That's raw ignorance. B) The irony.......his ideals, if implemented and sustained over his lifetime, would make it even harder for anyone to be "moderately successful".

Mike Bloomberg is considering making Hillary his running mate,

6.2 custom trail boss
Not sure how long the GM 10 spd transmission has been out in the pickups. Any word on how they're doing? I heard lots of complaints about the 8 spd transmission. I know the 6 speed's been good (mine's got 140k miles without issue, knock wood).

Haha, the wildboar got pinched!!
From NJ and named Alvarez......no wonder he evaded the checkpoint and ran from the cops. Prob had no permits, insurance, and multiple arrest warrants out on him.

New mattress recommendations?
We shopped a lot. Ended up with Loom and Leaf. They have two levels, firm and relaxed firm. We started with relaxed firm, but ended up swapping it out for their firm. So far so good. It is NOT shipped in a box. It's bought online, delivered and set up for you, and they take away your old one. King size was about $1200. Our old one was 15+ years old. Can't say this one changed my world, but seems to do the job. https://www.loomandleaf.com/
