Not saving lives means not saving the economy as well.

That's a good one. Not sure if the interior is any more upscale than the Rio, though

And yet you didn’t use that picture

The Mini is actually a really good choice. My old roomate who was 6'2" and 250 or so had plenty of room in his.

Personally, my hope is that out of this we redesign how unemployment insurance works in this country.

It would be, if it wasn’t for the fact that nearly 20% of the Fortune 500 paid no taxes in 2018. Those numbers are up 50% from the year before. And I imagine there will be an even bigger boost when it becomes tax time in the middle of this year.

Why are you skeptical of their numbers? China has no reason to be anything less than completely truthful in all their dealings with us.  They wouldn’t lie to us.

I’m in SF. My neighbor is a doctor and said his hospital wings are filling up with COVID patients. They’re almost full now. This is going to hit us hard because so many COVID patients need hospitalization to live.

I’m here in Boston too. This is all due to increased test processing. It has been a joke(400/day) the past few weeks and we are now >5,000 tests being processed daily. The scary thing is right now, turnaround on testing is 5 days! The “results” released daily are from tests from 5 days ago.

I’m genuinely not sure what to expect in China.  Sending people back to work at this point in their infection situation seems reckless and I’m already skeptical of the extent of their success and their reported numbers.

The only possible way the new case rate will level off in April is if we stop testing.

This. People keep forgetting there’s going to be a second peak, and we know why:

Now that my contract is finally cancelled, I can finally talk about it: Until Monday, I was doing machine learning for an ad agency that Ford contracted back in 2018. Ford still has the contract, but the agency (I’m not naming them because they may want to re-hire me once this all turns around) is shedding a lot of…

My guess is that by mid April the new case rate will start leveling off due to current quarantine efforts, Trump will say “look, we’re past it”, do all he can to remove all quarantine measures, and then be all “no one could have known” when the case rate starts rising again 2 weeks later

Case count figures are skewed only to those who have been tested. There are many who will be carriers whether they have symptoms or not and never be tested. Case # is a metric to look at, but if something like 30% of infected aren’t tested and therefor not officially reported, then it’s hard to full say what the…

“In my mind, GM’s biggest marketing challenge isn’t whether it accepts government help or not, but making a single car outside of the Corvette and (possibly) Camaro that is remotely desirable.”

At least Mack’s takes were hot and correct.

You know what’s more astonishing than an 80% dive?

I thought for a moment Palpatine’s Imperial Royal Guard was on holiday.
