I never said their current revenue was zero Jerry.

No one is being a “Disney apologist” Jerry, you’re just delusional if you think ESPN and Disney + subscription fees can support a $100 billion a year expense business for long.

Corporations may be saying that publicly, but I suspect privately healthy corporations are already doing the hard math on how long they can do things like continue to pay benefits for furloughed employees before they risk their financial health and ability to continue paying employees who are either “essential” (In…

“If the rent payments drop off significantly, [landlords] won’t be able to pay their staffs, they won’t be able to pay their mortgages, they won’t be able to pay their utilities,” Bibby said. “They won’t be able to pay the managers who manage their properties for them.”

Although, yeah...if you’re not going to be driving it for awhile, go ahead and drop the insurance.***

Even in your case the risk of accident is lower because there is a lot less traffic on the road.

It’s really hard to understate how meaningless all of those numbers are right now. This is the problem with a global pandemic.

If we’re still in a full lockdown situation one year from now and those workers have been unable to return to work for even stretches of time in the intervening year the world will have so throughouly turned on it’s ear that who knows what employer sponsored healthcare will even mean.

If your family members are panicking about the Asian people they see around them in every day life or traditionally Asian businesses, then they are being racist. Tell them that whatever the CCP did in China has got nothing to do with any Asian that is in America.

This is probably better than the alternative.

Man whatever. I live deep in Trump country.

That’s true. Though I would point out that licking groceries in the midst of a pandemic is probably a lot more damaging to others than it is if you lick groceries ... not in the middle of a pandemic. I’m not saying terrorism charges make sense, but I’m also not sure a misdemeanor charge is reasonable either.

Easing the notice requirement is probably not a bad thing. Being able to meet on a moment’s notice if markets start seizing up is what you want your central bank to do. This procedural nicety was actually a problem for the Fed in 2008. Businesses running out of cash to do things including meeting payroll because…

The facts are a bit mixed up in this article.

Anyway, the haircut itself is ultimately “fine,” but were he still doing a close reading of Obama’s post-presidency, why not just release a list of books he likes every once in a while?

Sure, maybe 10% or so of Bernie’s supporters will vote for Trump. As happens in most primaries. I suspect some of those 10% to be Joe Rogan types. I suspect some of them will be like you, spiteful little basement dwelling dweebs who need a good wedgie more than they need a social democrat for a President.  I don’t…

Maybe this isn’t the right answer, but maybe it starts by voting for the candidate who is at least willing to give concrete steps on the things they would do to reel in the executive?

Oh spare me.
