Is it really illegal fishing though? It sounds more like the North Koreans allow it and its only illegal because UN says they can’t sell fishing rights even though they obviously are.

Legal and illegal have different meaning here than typical

Perhaps, politically they may have gotten their shit tougher but tourism is 13 percent of Italian gdp and 11% of Spanish. Those have gone down to near 0 and that’s not accounting for other industries affected. Unemployment was near 20% prior to the pandemic it’s probably close to 50% now. So while they may have dealt with the crisis better it may not be better enough to matter.

Our interns are work from home.... lol imagine that. I mean granted they are all related to an executive or picked from an under represented group but still. Kind of a joke

Probably not much for debt, under the mattress definitely. I think the bottom 50% spent like 3% more the top 50% 10% less. If you get rid of the 600$ that money will instantly exit the economy and it’s a gonna be the economic second wave. Go long ammo.

There is probably more money to spend than before covid honestly. Short term the extra 600 has acted like a 30k a year ubi. Problem is there is nothing to spend it on except bikes video games and groceries.

I get way more measurable shit done from home because my managers don’t have to dedicate a bunch of heads to keeping up appearances. Instead of hosting meeting with 20 people who are there to represent their organization I meet with the 3-4 that matter, we hash shit out and move on. We don’t spend 45 minutes on status safety or the latest company value buzzword.

Is it long term sustainable? - no, we can’t train or onboard remotely those people will be useless but short term while we lay off half the company it works fine.

I don’t think that has happened yet. The bus was going 80 down the highway but the wheels fell off. Its still going 65 and there was a loud thump but besides that everything is still operating as it was before. There hasn’t been a sudden shift in priority people are still surfing on i phones and buying shit on amazon. The guy sitting next to the window might be staring at disbelief as the tires roll past but for the most part things are the same as they were before the wheels fell off. That will soon change but it hasn’t happened yet.

Events have been put into motion that cannot be undone. Future pain is guaranteed but our minds have a tough time comprehending the massive changes that are upon us. 10%? GDP is like 4 years of growth and that’s just the beginning, many of the layoffs that are coming haven’t occurred yet, government stimulus haven’t been cutoff.

Honestly I have no idea what’s gonna happen next the rules are gonna change so fast that you won’t even have time to say WTF.

Small meeting are more productive. Most 1 hour meeting I sit in and wait for my 5 minutes to speak the rest of the time is wasted

This is a permanent change akin to what Japan saw with their decades long Recession

I wonder if the same will happen in football shortly

Selling out is the obvious choice. Farmers can’t compete with mega farms. Eventually all the farms will simply be maintained and worked by a small group of slaves owned my multinational banks

Meh the financial media had always been bad it just wasn’t as obvious before. Confusing means with medians or using or using seasonaly adjusted numbers against corrected prior years all sorts of shenanigans that show up only if you know where to look. The difference now is that the people writing these articles have become even more blatant because you know math is hard.

No it didn’t. Dismal 9.5% still huge but the annualized number is BS. https://wolfstreet.com/2020/07/30/no-gdp-didnt-plunge-32-9-in-q2-it-plunged-a-still-terrible-9-5-time-to-kill-annual-rates/

Slow moving train wreck. The damage is already done though there isn’t much recovery at this point. People will either get evicted now or in a year there is no way people who don’t have 500 in savings can magically come up with 3k. Moreover if they actually had 3k they would be kicked off programs like food stamps and other assistance.

Yep the wa state and cdc guidelines are 3 days without symptoms and you are good to go. No retest no nothing good fucking luck. The company and dipshit are all fully compliant with government guidelines what can you do.

A guy in the cube one row over got it. Tested positive last Monday, fucker is back to work this Monday. Doesn’t believe In masks, traveled to Florida recently and now he’s sure covid was a government hoax. Fuck that guy

I don’t think it’s the 600 that will do it it’s the end of the eviction moratorium. Same effect though

You can get canceled for vaccines, climate change, masks, covid numbers, trump, homeless problems, not being a true vegan or the act of throwing dog shit in other peoples trash cans. So absolutely.

Actually I thought his 4 quadrants argument was weak and everything up till that line you pointed at was uninsightful.

What I’m really interested in is what happens if the $600 basic income ends. It looks like most of the immediate covid impact was delayed when it was implemented but if it’s allowed to expire all hell will break loose.

The man said it himself “Nothing will fundamentally change”. This is not an issue he even pretends to care about. Just saying voting is not somehow magically going to address the stated problem.

For who, voting is not a solution to this problem at least not anytime soon

President title is a pretty sweet bonus.

I could see it happening post election. Trump could resign into the lame duck period and get pardoned

Why not just Ram wrangler Corp , im pretty sure those are the only things that make make any money for them.

I really don’t understand the election being canceled batshittery. Nothing is going to fundamentally change Biden is the establishment candidate. He’s supported by every 3 letter agency and mega corporation and he’s up double digits in the polls. Nobody is canceling anything.

The real election was the primary and yes I suppose that got canceled but nobody cares.

If we had a Democrat f it up we would have gotten a dictator or fascist to replace her. Not that that mighty not happen in the next round but at least this time you can vote for a sack of potatoes or a failed dictator. Besides the election is for the most part over the November round typically brings few surprises or fresh faces. It’s the primary that counts.

Idk man say what you will about minorities but don’t hate on their cooking. British food tastes like wet cardboard when compared to what’s available in India, China and the Middle East where spices of all sort are readily used and available. If you want bold new flavors that’s the people who have them. Hell the history of America food is all minorities, what did the pilgrims bring over? Fuck all that’s what, dumbasses mostly starved and practiced cannibalism anyway.

We’re living season 7 right now

Yeah that’s a elite snob way of calling people idiots, but the real idiots are the people that “peer reviewed” this and allowed it to go out. And you wonder why people in middle America don’t trust science.
