That's the problem. The data don't show the 300k dead. These predictions are based on models that have consistently been shown to be faulty. At some point, you might want to question the so called experts.

I love to question experts. Having said that, we have 40,000 dead now, with social distancing. That's before the peak in many states. I hope we only have 60,000 dead, but even with distancing it could be 100k. If we did nothing it would certainly be more than that.

I'd rather look at lots of models and see how they compare (Johns Hopkins, IHME, etc) than take the opinions of rando middle aged angry white dudes who "heard something from someone."

I’ve watched you call other posters names on here what seems like daily. I’ve seen others try to civilly discuss things with you and you act like a child. You’re certainly not the only culprit but you trying to play the victim on here is laughable.

And don’t worry about me. I’m taking care of me and my family the way I choose. I think trying to not club people over the head with your points and ideas on this topic, maybe we could have more productive dialogue. 1960 and others believe what you believe, to a large extent, but are open to having a mature discussion. You, not so much.

You’ve made sure since this thread started that it would be largely adversarial and seem to take pleasure in it. You’ve played a large role in setting the tone here and I would guess you have more posts in this thread than anyone else. You’re not changing anyone’s mind, as I wrote early on here. And you’ve been so over the top that you’ve become the boy that cried wolf. People are blocking you or, in the least, just tuning you out.

I don't even read his posts anymore, just skip on by them.

Even after those models are proven wrong week after week?

Omg! People I haven't said anything to have been insulting me. They post that they've "been ignoring my posts because of how stupid I am." You even gave me a tin foil hat gif, and I never called you names. If you don't see the numerous posters insulting my intelligence over and over, you apparently aren't paying attention. I guess we all choose to see what we want to see. I see posters insulting me because I'm on the receiving end. You apparently don't see it because you agree with what they're saying. If someone wants to insult me, I'll return the favor. That's what I've been doing. Different rules for different folks, I guess. I get it, I'm the outsider in this thread. We'll see who history sides with.

Alternate facts?

You need help, dude. Serious help.

I'm done. Don't give me reason to send you packing.

And remember the Brian Finley I mentioned? Dude is a wiz. You won't be coming back under another user name. Trust me.

Exactly. Thanks for admitting it. It's been a constant theme in this thread that I've apparently imagined. Maybe I really am delusional. :D

As misguided and completely off target as I feel you've been in this thread, you've provided plenty of useful information in sports related threads (even if I've strongly disagreed with you there too) that I wouldn't put you on ignore.

I make a lot more than the guys who work for me and we all work side by side doing equal shares of labor. Reason being I have all the risk and if they didn't want to do it for that price, I could hire someone else tomorrow who would. The jobs those amazon workers do is mindless work. There are a lot of unintelligent and/or lazy people who need a job like that where they show up, do just enough to earn a paycheck, then go home.

I googled how many employees thet have. It said 750,000. If you give all of them 1 dollar an hour more, it costs you 30 mil per week. Do you think if he paid his employees an extra dollar per hour everyone would think he was a good guy? I doubt it. How much more per hour would you guess he would have to pay his employees in order for people to quit ripping on him for underpaying them, considering how much he makes? If he pays them all 5 more per hour, he's throwing 150 mil per week in the garbage and people would still think he was underpaying. The guy changed how the world is run and employs 3/4 of a million people. I'd say he deserves a shit ton of money.

..... and I'll add to your points. What makes this country so great is that everybody has an opportunity to make it if they want it bad enough or work hard enough. Say one of your guys believes he has more skill than you are paying him for. After some time he could leave and start his own business if he wanted and make it, being top dog and the most paid. People have a choice. This country is built on opportunity and capitalism.

There's always going to be top dogs or the higher paid individuals, CEO's etc.. People need to stop being jealous and expecting similar pay just because they are employed and do work at a corporation. Get some experience, move on and start your own gig if you don't like it. They act like there is such a wage gap in the US. You want to know where there is drastic wage gaps, communist China, Saudi Arabia and others. There is a wage gap in every damn country and is usually worse in communist countries or where dictators are located. Look at North Korea and tell me how they are doing. Venezuela??

All one has to do in America to make middle income is do 3 things. 3 THINGS!! 1) Stay off drugs or out of jail. 2) Not get a girl pregnant at a young age. 3) Get up and go to work on time.

No comments yet about May Oil futures.

It's a long squeeze...to much of something not needed. June contracts will be more telling.

Some hedge funds banking on an agreements will get blown up. This alone might not cause a bank freeze up like 08 but we have enough other crap. TK needs to stop posting and go for a drive for the economy and our sanity.

This is something between a black swan and a calamity. How many black swans can we take. Could be the sign of a deflationary cycle depression or throwing of all things...gas on the fire if they overdue things..... Back to the 80s on steroids

Yea, oil at $2.39 a barrel is not a good sign. Yea, it's great because we have cheapo gas but it is a bad sign for the economy.

Nice you only posted one line out of a paragraph explaining my thoughts. Yea, so people would only see that one line and go "Yea man, I agree." Here's the rest. Make me do the leg work again ...... and you wonder why I get paid more than you!
