100 year bond at 10 basis points? The Fed shouldn’t take my money if they won’t deliver service in a national emergency. My money is being redistributed to Kentucky, Mississippi, Kansas etc.wgdsr wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 11:39 pmyes, understood. we should have emergency powers and i am sure or i at least hope the states have the same.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:59 pmhttps://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planni ... erole.aspxwgdsr wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:36 pm man, invoking the constitution in allowing states to make the call. then invoking the constitution to reverse authority.

That seems to me to be a pretty significant rain cloud. Obviously, deaths is the most important statistic, but new cases, new hospitalizations, ICUs, and discharges are important as well.
And UK (167 per million) is 4X Germany and 2X USA. France, Italy and Spain much worse than UK.Deaths per capita in Germany about half that of the US (32 per million vs 67 per million) so far.
The national emergency does provide enormous additional powers. They don't extend as far as he seems to think they do. I think he'd need to go to some sort of martial law, suspension of the Constitution. In no way do I trust he'll not do so.Brooklyn wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 9:58 pmMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 9:49 pm
Keep hoping that Trump will get a clue, Salty.
Nope, Trump can't order states to close or to open. He can recommend only.
Unless what, martial law? forcing people out of their homes???
He does have extraordinary powers to tell businesses to re-direct their output, but hasn't used that power to any real effect. He does have the ability to federalize production and distribution of key elements, testing, PPE, ventilators, etc...but they haven't done it.
And he does have an enormous bully pulpit. He used it to enormously ill effect.
He's going to continue to flail and flail and flail. He'll whine and whine and whine about how awful the press is for not recognizing what a Very Stable Genius he really is and he will blame absolutely anyone and everyone for his own shortcomings.
and guys like you will keep giving all that a pass...because you agree with some of his policies...
I believe he has declared a national state of emergency and has the right to do so if he has not already excersized it. As such his self imposed power is virtually unlimited and his right wing courts will happily rubber stamp every edict he declares.
look at it more like a poor scouting report........."he's all rightie". Nope, you treat ALL players on the field with respect. But, you dont' shut off and face guard...EVERYONE.............the entire game.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 8:50 pm
You are projecting. I don’t look down at people that work at soup kitchens or people that rely on soup kitchens for meals. I would take my kids to a local soup kitchen so that they could help those less fortunate they they are. I spent a summer delivering meals on wheels. I would not do that today without taking public health precautions given this pandemic. My point is that you are acting like Coronavirus is no big deal. Put your money where your mouth is and go mingle with strangers and don’t wear a mask, gloves or wash your hands. A positive attitude will see you through....![]()

My heart goes out to you Far. I went through the same thing with my dad 13 years ago. Everyday hurts more than the day before. My only suggestion is to spend as much time with your mom each and every day that you possibly can. Myself, when i did that with my dad it was very hard to do. My goal was that when he died one of his kids would be at his side. He left this world alone and i would have given anything to be there by his side. He had been dying for so long we just did not know when it would happen. He came down with shingles and the morphine they gave him for the pain mercifully sped up the process. Hang in there and get her up to Rochester. There are so many kind and loving people here who will give her the best care in the world.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 2:39 am Off topic and can’t recall which thread it had been mentioned but wanted to just say for the folks who had expressed their best wishes around my mother’s situation I wanted to say thank you.

Stay well Hobart fan. Hopefully, your remaining time with her will be just as special as all your years past.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 2:39 am Off topic and can’t recall which thread it had been mentioned but wanted to just say for the folks who had expressed their best wishes around my mother’s situation I wanted to say thank you.

Oh, and a lack of money. There's not enough money to throw at the problems any more.
