    People say hateful things to me all the time, including that they wish me dead, and I don't retaliate. I simply think they are stupid and not worth responding to.

    Ya I have known many pacifist in my many years, I prefer people that stand up for themselves. Pacifist are the ones that never have your back in a pinch and the reason their friends get their ass's in trouble defending them..

    We very well could have an unemployment rate in that range by summer. But unlike EVERY OTHER economic downturn in our history, there is no real question on the cause; the government shut down businesses all over the country to fight the cornavirus (or Chinese Virus if you prefer).

    That may not be a natural swing to the out of power party, particularly since it's standard bearer continues to oppose travel bans with China.

    I just listed to Tom Colicchio talk about the restaurant industries problems. If you believe him, and I see no reason not too, That sector of the economy will not come back for 1 - 2 years. His bank is does not have enough information to float his Corp. a loan under the Govt's new rules. He laid off over 400 people today. If you think about some of the industries that pay low level wages but employ a lot of people, specifically retail and manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, those laid off aren't coming back until there is a real need. Maybe in 2021? So a steady 25%+ unemployment is very doable, unfortunately.

    Oh, I insult them, for being compassionless idiots, but I don't attack in kind.

    On second thought, Covid19 is turning a lot of people into Democrats:

    They are staying home, not working, complaining about everything, and waiting on a check from the government!

    I know, right? His job creation stats would surpass Obama's. That'd burn them to no end. So not only would he have led us through this pandemic, but saved the economy to boot. And Trump will not let them forget it either.

    Yup that's my point, pacifist are all about mouth when they cant be touched.. But in public setting they think they are protected by a friends and it's usually the friend with balls that end up paying the price for the insult the pacifist doesn't back up ;)

    Been there!

    But then, as the dust settled people would realize, looking to countries that didn't develop such stringent measures, that Trump was right all along.
    He would go down as one of the best presidents in history. Instead, well, you know what we got instead.

    True.

    Trump should have ordered the lockdown (at least) a month earlier.

    Instead he was hoping for a "miracle" and calling the Virus a "hoax". :smh:

    Absolutely. That is why the US is performing at the worst levels dealing with it. On the other hand, I guess you can't get enough winning, right?

    Not to the Democrats, their willing accomplices in the media, or their message-board useful idiots.

    From the results of the impact on the USA it looks Like Trump has failed completely in his response to the Virus

    In 2012, Obama win over Romney by 4%.

    So 6% for Biden is a pretty good score.

    Not as bad as Italy and Spain. China is far worse than they’ll let on. UK is no better off than us. And if you want to compare tiny countries with little movement to/from China, you’re stretching.

    Let’s compare apples to apples. Yes S Korea went into lockdown fast. Give them a cookie. They’re right on China’s doorstep. Please quote a bunch of medical experts advising that it would be this bad back on Jan? Good luck. Try February? Also good luck. Quote leading Democrats or the MSM taking it serious in Feb? What was the WHO telling us in Feb?
    We’re doing OK considering how much we were lied to early on because the China govt is such a POS.

    More lies. Biden acts like he has dementia and he always puts his foot in his mouth. Only no information democrats would vote for Joe
