Well it will be interesting to see how this affects industries like manufacturing, reading the report it is estimated that energy costs will increase at least 24% over the normal inflationary increases. I know that increased energy costs is often one of the reasons cited by manufacturers that are leaving California.

I’ll believe the epidemiologists over random dude on Gizmodo. Right now they are predicting we will top out at 60k. But even if we increase it to 100-120k we would still be in line with Spain and Italy. But I think our largely suburban lifestyle, and increased hospital beds (both ICU and regular) per capita over many…
I was speculating just like you were. Most of the states being hit hard aren’t fans of Trump and hospitals have all their care for uninsured COVID patients covered by the government as such if there was any motivation to alter the numbers it would be to increase it, not to decrease it.
Since the numbers are being reported by the state and hospitals get more money if more deaths are counted as Coronavirus, I would argue that if there is a motivation to alter reporting in the US it would be to increase the number count.
Our per capita death number at present are pretty reasonable. We are at 62 deaths per a million, if we cap out at around 60k like the current predictions say we will be around 180 deaths per million. Which will put us below many of the European nations.
China is also likely lying about their death numbers. There are reports that a single funeral home in Wuhan had more remains to be collected then the official death toll, and there are four funeral homes.
And few ships are registered in the US. If they want to spend their money let them. Money should be spent or invested, it is just paper if it is doing anything else.
Who was in there for mostly legitimate purposes, as he used the attorney to step a corporation for his yacht in the BVI. Which is fairly normal end round for the stupid yacht tax.
Not really IIRC there are only a handful of Americans mentioned in the Panama papers. These days with the laws requiring overseas banks to cooperate with the IRS means that using tax havens it very hard. You basically have to use a shell company, and you can’t realistically ever bring that money back to the US.
To stave off any risk of inflation, the new study’s authors suggest setting a 40 percent tax increase on the wealthiest citizens in the U.S. That may sound like a lot, but the U.S. has done it before: That tax rate would be in line with the one the country had from the 1940s to 1970s.
The last I flew international overweight bags for $200, also additional bags after your first three were also $200.
The current US infection rate is running about 25% a day with the range going from 12% to 30%. Florida is currently at 25% average.
I’m looking at numbers adjusted for time, population, and the same case rate per population. Outside of outliers like the NYC area, and Louisiana everyone seems to be following in the same general.
No, he isn’t a dumb fuck at least when compared to your mayor, senator, and other elected officals in NYC who were encouraging people to attend the Lunar New Year festivities when they should’ve been encouraging people to social distance, simply because it was the opposite of what Trump was doing.
The current estimate I’ve seen is that Florida will peak around April 22nd or 23rd. Florida is on day 28 since 1 case per a million residents while New York is one day 34, so only about a week behind.
Some people, notably those on Fox News, are becoming impatient with social distancing measures and are arguing that everything should be opened back up in the name of the economy.
“It’s extremely irresponsible to blame women, especially younger women, for the ways men and society have infantilized them,” Kish Lal, a writer who’s covered egirls, told Kotaku in an email. “Most egirls are quite young, to begin with. Participating in memes, dances, and building communities on apps like TikTok…
Medicare already effectively does that. Insurance payout are invariably linked to Medicare payouts. When Medicare makes a decision to cut a payout, like when they chose not to pay extra for 3T MRIs, within a couple of years insurance made similar cuts. Now insurance does pay more, and will sometimes pay certain…

No I don’t see that, because I look back not with 20/20 hindsight but attempt to look at it through the eyes of the contracting officer of the time. The norm isn’t to award a bridge contract, as such he didn’t issue a bridge contract. Applying 20/20 hindsight presents an unrealistic expectation.
