Coronavirus: Trump-Led US Doing Much Better Than Western Europe

x0x7 · 2020-04-01T16:07:24+00:00

Now if we could just get our states to stop fucking up our economy we'd be doing 1000x better.

x0x7 · 2020-04-01T02:26:39+00:00

Flea the US for anywhere not over reacting. I also hear some states have said they will refuse to do any of this crap. I think the governor of Mississippi said something to that effect.

x0x7 · 2020-04-01T02:23:05+00:00

Maybe states should stop sabotaging their own economies. We are talking about a 7% increase in mortality, or something that will kill 0.1% of the population. You don't shutdown a state over that. This is according to the government's own projections.

When this is all over people are not going to be happy with their governors simply not being reelected. We are going to have mass poverty because of their actions.

I am not responsible for what other people do: https://pic8.co/sh/7uQOMW.jpeg

Italy was putting a corona virus death on any corpse that could be swabbed positive for corona virus, even if they died of a suicide. They are in a hospital with corona virus in it when they are being swabbed. There is going to be a stray viral packet or two.

x0x7 · 2020-04-01T02:14:40+00:00

How about you just open up all businesses.

x0x7 · 2020-03-30T03:36:14+00:00

Self driving cars. No one will be interested in those.

What other technology is newly possible but not really that wanted. I think Alexas might become unpopular.

x0x7 · 2020-03-27T16:56:56+00:00

If we use AI as a central intelligence to craft policy to minimize the spread of coronavirus, it will have to form policies that harm humans in some dimension. What if it then figured out that if there are no humans there will be no coronavirus, or at least if there were fewer. Then it directed policies designed to kill humans that we believed were reasonable, like lock-in orders, that would starve us economically and lead to the deaths needed to stop corona virus spread.

Lol, thinking she didn't have one in Haiti.

x0x7 · 2020-03-27T00:02:47+00:00

The prediction markets are insane. All the people in the comments section think he has a chance. There is just no way.

I can't wait for the day that he does win because people stuck their head in the sand, and then he gives his victory speech that night and it hits us.

x0x7 · 2020-03-26T23:49:29+00:00

It turns out I'm Asian because there are more people to be descended from over there.

x0x7 · 2020-03-26T23:47:49+00:00

I envy you.

x0x7 · 2020-03-26T20:13:46+00:00

Overblown is a matter of context. In terms of government action, overblown. In terms of not wanting to get it and not spread it to other people, not overblown.

I'm ashamed of people these days. They will be supportive of a government shutting down an entire city indefinitely, but can't manage to wear a cheap mask to not get other people sick, and hang out in public parks with hundreds of people in counties with a significant number of cases.

The ratio of preferred government action to preferred self action is why we can't have real freedom in this country.

x0x7 · 2020-03-25T16:02:48+00:00

You mean pork that they are arguing over the details for. Let it all fail. I was a waiter. I was more impacted. I found another job with applying to one other place. My coworkers successfully applied for unemployment.

Where does the money come from? The fed. Where do they get the purchasing power to offer to business / usually banks? Us. In theory that purchasing power will trickle down to us, but will require work on our part to get it. This is called theft + slavery.

When we printed a lot of money in the 1970s worker productivity went down permanently. We've had to have two worker households ever sense. What will be next? Children? And it didn't fix the problem in the 1970s. We had stagflation. We will have stagflation here because businesses can't operate. This will be 1970s squared and we will be slaves for life, and have no real aid to our current situation.

Commie statists are trying to intentionally destroy the system so they can get more government in the wake of the collapse.

Saidit can't detect a title on Reason.com or Gvid.tv. Almost all other sites can. You might rethink how you are doing it. I'm implementing <title>, open graph, and twitter's thing, and it doesn't get picked up.

x0x7 · 2020-03-20T13:00:36+00:00

Awesome!

x0x7 · 2020-03-18T17:11:32+00:00

I'm here. I'm a waiter and away from work so I could use a game to play.

x0x7 · 2020-03-18T17:08:51+00:00

The coronavirus doesn't care what hour you are out. This is security theater and not helpful. Because of the strain of all the things we should be doing, we shouldn't add a single thing that doesn't help.

x0x7 · 2020-03-18T00:01:45+00:00

Thud

x0x7 · 2020-03-16T23:21:31+00:00

He said it's 43% more efficient, and that it is 99% efficient. That means the old system had to be about 98% efficient.

Was it worth getting one more percentage of efficiency? Maybe if it was originally 2% efficient and became 3%. That would be an added performance factor of 1.5x.

x0x7 · 2020-03-14T02:55:12+00:00

He probably had his pay contingent on the company surviving a foreseen bumpy road, and by cutting 20,000 he saved the rest, and received the other part of his pay that was contingent.

That and AT&T has been acquiring other old-tech companies, that probably have needed clean up for a while and old programs that weren't profitable anymore. That's why they needed to be sold. Examples are Direct-tv and Time Warner (holds AOL).

Companies die. We hope that they die gracefully rather than in a blaze of 100,000 layoffs with no severance. Demonizing whoever takes the role of scaling down a business is silly. Plus then what of capitalists that make jobs when a company is new and expanding? Are you going to praise them?

x0x7 · 2020-03-14T02:44:51+00:00

I have to listen to 46 minutes of your low quality show to know the questions I'm supposed to answer?

And he stawmans. Libertarians are not consistently pro-choice. Likely less than half of us are.

That's like saying for toll station attendants that have green hair, how are they going to explain why their hair is literally the color that people associate with disgust. See, toll station attendants are retarded. Therefore my world view is correct because I found someone else who is dumb.

x0x7 · 2020-03-13T20:41:42+00:00

I agree. Let's do that. But the common cold isn't likely to over run our medical system all at once.

x0x7 · 2020-03-13T20:40:23+00:00

IP2 is leaking

x0x7 · 2020-03-13T05:15:23+00:00

This is about drugs. The prison social structure is behind any mass revolt. And the prison social structure is 100% about drugs.

Remember that some of these women continued to have sex with him months after the fact. Maybe not all, but some of these were "rapes".

I'm sorry but a power imbalance is not rape. It's wrong. But it's not rape. It's possible for something to be wrong and not rape. Rape is a very specific thing. Some of these only make claims of power imbalance.

x0x7 · 2020-03-10T20:52:35+00:00

Predictit user here, so I know my stuff. If it weren't for the impeachment they would be behind right now.

I can't believe the Corona virus is hurting Trump but it is. He's still ahead, and if it weren't for impeachment he'd be under.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T17:57:51+00:00

Of all the things to need more of during a mass shutdown TP isn't the main one. I don't want to go there but there are other ways to clean yourself. Why do I never see those carts filled to the brim with food. You would think there would be a food shortage right now.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T17:54:22+00:00

Maybe natural gas or propane in small tanks. Kerosene will just fall out. Napalm's burn rate will slow down as the gelling gets thicker and that will really limit it quicker than you think.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T17:28:52+00:00

Weed is definitely bad, but you don't need to throw people in jail to solve every social ill.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T17:13:06+00:00

Putting your scoop higher than the other guy's seems to be a bad idea. This needs to become an organized event.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T16:53:50+00:00

Even if it did stop terrorism, that would not be sufficient for it to exist. The idea of constitutionalism is that you are allowed to do good.. if doing so doesn't go outside of your powers.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T16:47:10+00:00

Hosts your image to multiple places.

x0x7 · 2020-03-09T16:24:44+00:00

I know

x0x7 · 2020-03-08T01:41:32+00:00

It makes sense that greeks would name I after their favorite personal trait. They really are nothing but ego.

x0x7 · 2020-03-06T21:40:37+00:00

The worst part is it's sometimes themselves they purposefully ruin. Face tats and piercings, and drugs. Pursuing and glorifying all self ruin. Then they wonder why they have less upward mobility than the guy next to them and the blame their life's dysfunction on the system.

But hey, accelerationists are kind of the same thing on the right.

x0x7 · 2020-03-06T17:06:28+00:00

Ok, true. I suppose I should say I suspect they suck at more than math.

x0x7 · 2020-03-06T16:55:57+00:00

New theory. They aren't bad at math. They just don't assess the validity of any statement. They are actors that are trained to say, "It's true, it's disturbing" to anything that seems to be on their side.

x0x7 · 2020-03-06T04:37:35+00:00

Sometimes you have to refresh it multiple times.

Actually it looks like it's down.

x0x7 · 2020-03-05T18:36:55+00:00

Alcohol and guns are a bad mix. I'm surprised it's not in the ten commandments of firearm safety.

x0x7 · 2020-03-05T16:07:48+00:00

The point is current communists do anything they can to make our system unsustainable.

Have some public good you want to pursue? Lets weigh the benefits to the cost to target a scale that is responsible. Except in their mind the state being in debt to the point of dysfunction is a good thing.

You can't have a society if a large number of people are literally trying to break everything.

x0x7 · 2020-03-05T01:02:34+00:00

And if you want to collapse the system in a communist revolution you would want people even dumber than that. If they can't operate the machines then the system can't work and you have a lot of people you have to take care of.

x0x7 · 2020-03-05T00:28:21+00:00

So I read it. Their claim was that because state law a federal law overlap that the state couldn't enforce it's laws. Meanwhile they overlap on most issues. It looks like they just didn't like this particular law.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T23:04:10+00:00

The fact that if 5-4 is insane. We can prosecute illegals for pretty much any crime. Identification fraud carries pretty stiff minimums. I've got to read the dissent on this.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T20:47:30+00:00

So if I started harassing people about microaggressions, would that qualify?

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T20:32:38+00:00

Well, I'm an idiot.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T15:57:18+00:00

Absolutely disgusting. Other people dying should never be a form of entertainment. You completely throw away your humanity when you do that.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T03:12:17+00:00

Has to mention that they themselves are white. Makes me wonder.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T03:03:36+00:00

He has the will of his people. He's pretty popular there. The US is afraid of losing him as part of NATO because we need to prevent Russian ships hitting open ocean. Europe was scared of him over immigration, and also wanted to not hurt NATO stability. Russia would like to not piss off Turkey under the idea that maybe it could switch sides and doesn't want to permanently ruin the hope of a warm Water port. Saudi Arabia is worried about oil line prospects to Europe that would disappear if they pissed of Turkey. Israel, same thing except with Golan heights. Syria and Iran genuinely hate Turkey and have no problem showing it.

They treat Turkey nicer than they should because Turkey is important, not because they bribed him and want to protect someone they think is in their pocket but simultaneously doesn't play along with anyone. What all these countries need to learn is that someone is your ally not because they are important but because they are nice to you and are important. Turkey needs a kick to the curb by everyone.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T02:24:27+00:00

It cuts both ways. This is saying that Bernie cultists won't vote in the general if they don't get their way, and therefore loose the election.

But if the majority of dem voters don't want a communist, then why shouldn't they act the same as Bernie supporters?

This is basically saying the minority should win because they are stubborn, but why shouldn't the majority be equally stubborn?

Let's face it, Bernie sucks. He can't even get 50% of the democrat vote because he's to radical. How would he get over 50% of the general? At least the others have the temporary excuse that the main part of the democratic party has their vote split.

x0x7 · 2020-03-04T02:14:12+00:00

Or it's just embezzlement. He did a huge purge a while back using social media. He could have taken out any arbitrary person. You don't call Erdogan out on his embezzlement if you are anyone capable of knowing in Turkey.

For being bribed he sure is making nobody happy.

x0x7 · 2020-03-03T17:18:13+00:00

He's the best we have in the DNC right now. I plan to vote for him in the primary. That or Biden.

x0x7 · 2020-03-03T17:12:08+00:00

I don't see where they were bribed or how they were bribed, and by who. Maybe they just suck and think about their own interests, and other nations that believe in cooperation stupidly accept agreements for cooperation as agreements?

x0x7 · 2020-03-03T17:07:39+00:00

Arby's scored equal to Chipotle, and significantly higher that Jack in the Box, Burger King, Sonic, and Wendy's?

x0x7 · 2020-03-01T21:51:37+00:00

Was it from person to person contact within the United States.. Because so far we only have 2 transfers.

x0x7 · 2020-02-28T16:54:43+00:00

I really wish there were predictive markets for this sort of thing. I don't trust news. I don't trust polls. Hell, I hardly trust predictive markets.

But I want to know is this thing going to happen, is it not going to happen. And we live in a world where everyone has an incentive to paint a picture.

The problem is people could interfere with outcomes.

x0x7 · 2020-02-28T15:59:58+00:00

From what I've seen, this news has had zero impact on predictive markets. Biden is rising, and Sanders is falling.

x0x7 · 2020-02-28T15:50:50+00:00

When is the builderberg conference?

x0x7 · 2020-02-28T15:41:38+00:00

Because no one is actually interested in history but because it's the BBC there has to be an element of education in every program and history is low hanging fruit for that.

x0x7 · 2020-02-28T15:33:54+00:00

I agree. Let's call it that. Because it would further expose the insanity of clown world.

x0x7 · 2020-02-27T05:44:44+00:00

Just remember that real conservatives are against everything on the bottom.

Founders wanted us out of foreign wars. There is nothing lassie fair about giving bailouts to companies that should have failed. Their is nothing conservative about the corruption of giving certain companies continuous paybacks. Conservatives are suspicious of military boondoggles.

Yet people want to paint conservatives as the people who support all of these things. That is the difference between a republican and a conservative. A conservative is a student of certain traditional American ideological principles. Republicans are party cultists. Conservatives would like the party to return to its ideological roots, at which point it does none of these things.

x0x7 · 2020-02-27T05:13:01+00:00

Did we win a prize by going to Iraq? Did we win a prize by going to the moon? Did you win a prize is a really really good question that people need to ask themselves more.
