Sure if I have an experience that I think has enough knowledge background on my end to speak with authority for a solution oriented goal.
That's not me right now. I'm in the early phases of this like many others. I simply am identifying a problem on my end. But it's nothing new and lots of others are already identifying it on their end.


How do you get on the news and not being a jerk?
Have enough knowledge and experience on the subject to speak with authority.
Have a broad enough experience on the current subject such that you understand context and other stakeholders so you're not just espousing a platform that is all about you.
Have a solution oriented goal as your call to action so you're not just whining.

I know physician colleagues that are already getting this message out with an experience much more broad than I am who have already started the groundwork of understanding all the stakeholders. They're a better voice than I am on this subject. I can put you in touch with them if you wanted. But I am at the low level clinician level and not the system level to speak with an authority in such a forum.

They can if the government appropriately subsidizes their lost wages.

I've been clear about all of these concepts since day one, I'm not quite sure why you're pretending I think that rentiers should be getting anything from the government.

So if it's the government's fault, why are we going to punish the individual? Why kick someone out of their house due to government interference in the market?

Subsidizing lost wages is subsidizing rentiers, because that's where largest portion of wages goes. If you don't cap rent, you are just directly subsidizing current rental amounts. Try to keep up.

We shouldn't. I don't know why you're making things up.

We don't. This isn't hard to follow.

You know renters don't have to continue renting places they clearly can't afford, right? Serious question, do you own or rent your home?

Just had a letter pinned to my door that while if we can't pay rent, we will be eligible for all of it when restrictions lift. I'll keep paying every month, being faced with a three month "gtfo" or fuck you pay me isn't really going to be fun.

Your argument is hard to follow because it is incoherent.

And I live with my parents. I don't pay any rent financially but I do the dishes once a week.

If you're off work, you get paid the wages you're missing. You then spend those wages as you normally would. World keeps on spinning. If you can't follow that, I really don't know what to tell you.

They could potentially, just pick an amount which would in turn cover the different that middle class people are generally missing out on, and it'd be a good payday for people on the bottom rungs. It might not be much to those in the upper brackets, but if you're making a few hundred grand a year and living paycheck to paycheck I have a little less empathy for you.

Cool. You're advocating option B with no eviction moratorium, not option A. But you still need a moratorium until the wages kick in and I've explained why ultimatelt this is still a retarded option.

No, you actually haven't. You just rant about the importance of rent caps.

I know reading comprehension is not your strong suit and I know you don't understand economics, so you'll just have to trust me that I explained it to you very clearly.

But hey, at least you support wage subsidies. You are well on the road to supporting full-blown socialism, comrade.

Click to expand...
basically Italy had less deaths this week 12 2020 than they did in week 12 2017

Covid19 yet to impact Europe’s overall mortality Year-to-date statistics show excess mortality lower than previous years

https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/30...1ouAdNQ3hcShyraSfLrlUw-Rv3heIoWiCw8QNwoyX5vMm

lots of sites posting that comparison


other countries in region also had a worse 2017

of course there are variables involved

just some perspective on that region

922 reported U.S. deaths in the last 24 hours; largest increase worldwide.
This'll probably be the trend for the next month or so.

Looks bad, really bad. Yet you have people saying it's getting better and that NY and LA have it the worst but it's peaked for them while other states are containing it pretty good such as here in California...

They either don't understand, are being fed bad intel, or won't accept it.
Or we are.

Taking it at face value it's not complicated.

Honestly, I think people are generally just horrible at mathematics and reality.
Combined makes for an impossible combo.

I find the release of chloroquine/zinc/z-packs by the FDA pretty comically ridiculous, 2 months after the fact.
To me the only sensible conclusion is another adjustment challenge reality.
We're at war.
