We still have too many here who underestimate this thing. Supply chains all over the planet are crashing. Yeah, sure, we should cover all that (well, ok, most of it) ourselves, internally, but there’s just no way to reverse two generations of growing dependence on others built into the system in a few months, esp. with the economy faltering. Just the needed production engineering work alone is staggering, much less actually getting all the facilities and equipment built. Worse is the hit on the financial side, and I think that even though President Trump is trying to stay positive to not have EVERYBODY freak out, until at least some buffering measures can be in place, I expect the financial aspects of this situation to get considerably worse. I also think the health care people are telling him that in too many areas, some critical, like NYC, there is NOT yet sufficient slowing of COVID-19 to prevent overwhelming of the areas’ health care systems. That would result in a much increased fatality rate, the insurance industry (and all those derivatives) crashes, and then we have even bigger problems.
I sure hope I am wrong. Bad on the one side, worse on the other, and an exceedingly slippery path forward. To think that on New Years Eve, the future looked pretty good...
“To think that on New Years Eve, the future looked pretty good...”
It sort of looked like smooth sailing ahead.
No doubt we are better off than had ANYBODY else been President.
Still,it kind of took the wind out of the sail?
Even though we have a big gapping hole in the side of the boat ..i pretty sure we can make it back to shore.
Okay, sail boat analogy over.
I agree...This thing is far worse than worrying about a voice vote/recorded vote...
I'm sure we aren't borrowing those billions from any other Countries...Apparently Fort Knox is working overtime printing it up, giving it to the FED who in turn will lend it to us...Which when this money runs out they will have to print more and more, until money won't any longer buy anything...Dire straights ahead...I still don't know if the entire Planet is this unlucky, or someone had an ingenious plan...
I suspect the Democrats are going to start calling for demonstrations knowing they will not be peaceful...The Democrats DO NOT want the United States of America to be a self fulfilling sovereign Nation...
I always thought it would be a nuclear operation that would take down our Country but now we can see it is fear that will do it...The most prosperous and productive Nation on the Planet and the people are now afraid to leave home and go to work to even feed ourselves...
