Stay at home order extended to May 3rd in Santa Clara County. I might have to actually read a book at this point.

Most whining I've seen. Bitching about sitting inside, no sports, like toddlers. very discouraging. I now know why you need a gun during such events. Because we're surrounded by Americans.
Most of the whining I'm seeing is (inexplicably) about Donald Trump and people who think that landlords are unreasonable for wanting to be paid their rent.

Landlords are being unreasonable for wanting to be paid their rent if the tenant has been forced out of a job by government decree and government has yet to supplement their rent. You can't have the 'free market' (LOL) both ways - if the government is allowed to shut down the economy, then it must be allowed to take action to interfere in the economy in other ways too. The amount of extra economic damage caused by mass evictions would be another unnecessary burden on everyone - much better to put the burden back on parasitical rentiers.

In Australia, it's the landlords who are now whining. Here, for all our problems, the government knows that if it can decide to halt the economy, it can also decide to halt evictions. And if landlords whine to the government, the government can always say:

Then the renters should be upset with the government as they're the ones who put them out of work. If you're going to force people to stay home, you should be appropriately compensating them for their lost wages. Then they can pay their rent, and their landlords can in turn afford to keep the property they live in. The person who makes the mess, cleans up the mess, see how that works?

In what sense?

I'm very interested to understand what you mean
Their kingdom was created after the first world war by...... you guessed it. They don't act unilaterally.

You're also misunderstanding the U.S./China trade war. It's actually looking pretty brilliant right now if you look beyond the media's bluster from the time it happened.

My father loves statistics and data and has been tracking our county for all of this and he's seeing the growth rate appearing to be linear instead of the exponential growth we are seeing in other parts of the country.

MBS doesn't really care about anyone or any country.

His utter fuck off to the US when he was high fiving pootin was an example of this.

His other one is continuing to drive the price of oil down to such an extent that it will hit the states just when they will need to sell several fuck tons of oil after 3 months of the blip.
China will be rolling again way before then sucking up as much cheap oil as people will sell them.

Clue.

It's a lot. And it won't be coming from America.

They will buy the world's surplus.

But I'm sure Trump and his top men like Kushner have factored all this into their 14d chess strategy.

Just because I'm too thick not to see their plan and how geo politics are forming I'm sure Trump is...

People are getting their ducks in a row.
