News Dow bouncing around -1000

[fleshconsumed]

This years Deficit is going to be a doozy. Probably a Record Breaker.

Yep, we'll have no choice but to cut entitlements.

Actual Trump tweet: “Good for consumers! Cheaper gas for everyone!”

He’s also tweeted a few choice memes while the economy craters. Liberal tears must be flowing today?

Does this chart for the flu hold up? If it does my mad math skills tells me that covid19 is a factor 10-20 more lethal than the flu

So stability would ensue if people were told to not go to work, not leave their house and hide under their kitchen tables while breathing through two pairs of underwear freshly laundered with lots of bleach? That would not be a mess?

How about postponing the primaries? It's got to be bad for people to congregate. Standing in line to vote and then going into those voting booths? Yikes! Maybe the Dem's should lead by example.

Maybe the administration should have 1 talking point? Their communications to date create instability because they don't have a common theme or message. Except that Trump is still talking about his ratings instead /w MAGA hats and repubs wearing gas masks to mock the dead. That's all my point is, but deflect away.

I don’t think your sarcasm tag applies to this Administration.

And this goes to my point that this kind of shit creates even more market instability. Yelling fake news for 4 years doesn't cover up whats happening. Oil was but one catalyst in this whole situation.

10-20x lethality is what the CDC and WHO have been tracking, from what I've read.

It's possible that the number is a bit lower depending on how many younger folks have COVID-19 and aren't symtomatic/don't get tested, but regardless, it is much more lethal. Numbers are probably anywhere between 5x and 20x.

People looked at me funny when I said this would change the world a month ago.

I knew this was coming. Probably 2 months ago. The handwriting was on the wall. Just the video coming from Wuhan seemed to say it all. This is no blip.

Yea, was wondering how the spread of the flu is compared to covid19 ... cant find it anywhere.

Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate. It will purge the rottenness out of the system. High costs of living and high living will come down. People will work harder, live a more moral life. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up from less competent people.

Also, Trumps own numbers = 4% death rate? I guess Trump is calling out Trump... for fake news!!! Its just ... like ... what the fuck?

Dow has been grossly overvalued for years, and needed a reason for buying opportunity. Still shaking the suckers out.

Massive layoffs will slow the spread of the virus, I'm sure.

Herbert Hoover is a shining example of the wisdom of this advice.

Anyone else totally SHOCKED that this fella supports the idea of postponing the primaries? Segues nicely into a precedent for postponing the general, doesn't it...

With government officials competing for who can shine Trump's lil nob the best for the cameras confidence is low that this situation won't get way out of hand.

oh man, this really is the libertopian fantasy come to life for you, isn't it!

purge the undesirables and let the few remaining, noble, John Galts of the world convert the world into a corporatist's paradise reserved for the very few.

It's not reserved for the few, we'll rent your stuff back to you after you firesale it to us.

Errr...I think the investor class will just own more after this downturn. They're the ones flush with cash to buy up cheap stocks, real estate, etc.
