It’s one big circle. Quota grows each year because growing businesses are viable businesses. Which is basically a pay cut if he doesn’t work harder. So he grinds, and his time off is trucks, atvs, snowmobiles, airstream, fishing and ski gear for him and his wife and 3 kids half on credit. He feeds the system, it grows which means it’s healthy. It’s all based on debt. He owes the company a sales number and the company rolls up all those sales numbers to forecast the growth necessary to sustain the stock price. And when the bad times come, the whole thing falls down.

That's the William Burroughs reference in that trilogy.

Where is that bloated Clark Kent lookalike Inslee? He only likes to give press conferences and official updates in the middle of weekdays when nobody is around to hear it. How about a Saturday morning update for your citizens, ya fucking pussy? New York has still administered twice as many tests as California and Washington combined. Pathetic.

I actually have a real emergency to deal with. I broke my $^&(% iPod earphones last night and I don't have a back up pair. Now that's an emergency! Everywhere is closed. #$%^&%$!

WTF? Our economy is not just fragile, it's a PONZI SCHEME.
If you are old enough to have parents that went through the depression and WW2, you are probably secure. Everyone else has grown up in a flourishing economy and has never known hard times and depravity.
Do you have 2 - 3 years basic living expenses in cash or hard currency? If not
you are over leveraged.
I started delivering newspapers when I was in 4th grade for money. Got 2 dollars a week. Worked it up to $8 in a few years. Put $5 in the bank, kept $3 to spend. Rarely did. I've been frugal my whole life much to the derision of my friends. Has put me in a position where, while not rich, have zero debt and if I slum it, can go skiing for a large portion of the winter.

Chinese Rat Flu
Careful there buddy. You’re not supposed to ask those questions according to the cut-and-paste COVID experts on here. My brother’s a pulmonologist in Columbus OH and is making plans to live at the hospital if things get bad so he won’t expose his wife and kids. He’s been texting updates every day for the last 2 weeks and even he will tell you that 90% of what you hear is worst case scenarios based on unreliable data from countries quite different than ours in some fundamental ways. If I were you I wouldn’t even bother googling stats on all the other causes of death in this country that we just consider the cost doing business.

Would you feel any different if it targeted your specific personality type, specifically targeting people who live on the edge of a financial razor blade? It already has a 40% rate of killing people in your age group. How about if it targeted people who whine about not be able to let it kill other people? How about if a vigilante force was formed to murder people who say what you say - and their entire familes? You selfish fuck.
But you're too chickenshit to go downtown and rob a bank, the cathedral of your religion, shooting and killing anyone who gets in your way so you can pay the bills on your toys? Oh, so it's easy to prescribe death for anyone - as long as it ain't you. When the shit breaks loose, I hope you end up looking down the barrel of your own thoughts for others.

It's almost 35% since late February. And that thousand point jump happened while he was doing the Rose Garden press conference a week ago. I watched it happen, it was right before the close that day, so the bots had a party among themselves , I guess. He took it personally, which I guess was his right, along with forcing Powell to zero out rates. Both are just memories now. He only has false hope for some sort of drug to talk about now.

Big bummer, but the early French chloroquine data has bigger holes than we originally thought.

Huh ????????
By what measure? The last 20 year period?
The 30's and 40's were rough. Look at the average houses that were built in the 50'sand 60's. That will give you some correct perspective. Small, capes and ranches for the most part. Now the average house is probably 3k sq. ft. I am guessing. No research involved, but looking at that metric will probably give you an idea about relative wealth.
