Coronavirus 1 The Economy 0

TWEET MEKevin McCarthy was bragging on twitter today that Mr. trump is not done yet, and that just like he did in 2016, he might have some more tricks up his sleeve.

He might be right. I am sure that with the help of his friends in Russia, along with GOP voter suppression, anything is possible.  Although this virus is not going away, and it's starting to have an impact in the area that Mr. trump is proudest of when it comes to his time in office.

Here is an oped from Robert Reich regarding that very issue:

“The recovery has been very strong,” Donald Trump said on Monday. Then the commerce department reported the US economy contracted between April and June at the fastest pace in nearly three-quarters of a century, which is as long as economists have been keeping track. The drop wiped out five years of economic growth.

But pesky facts have never stopped Trump. Having lied for five months about the coronavirus, he’s now filling social media and the airwaves with untruths about the economy so he can dupe his way to election day.

The comeback “won’t take very long”, he reassured Americans on Thursday. But every indicator shows that after a small uptick in June, the US economy is tanking again. Restaurant reservations are down, traffic at retail stores is dwindling, more small businesses are closing, the small rebound in air travel is reversing.

What’s Trump’s plan to revive the economy? The same one he’s been pushing for months: just “reopen” it.

He wants the public to believe the shutdown orders that began in March caused the economy to tank in the first place, so reversing them will bring the economy back.
People can’t go back to work because there is very little work for them to do
Rubbish. It was the virus that caused the downturn, and its resurgence is taking the economy down again. The virus is surging back because governors reopened prematurely, before the virus was under control – at Trump’s repeated insistence.

The sequence of cause-and-effect is clear. The virus has surged most in states that were among the first to reopen, such as Florida, South Carolina, Texas and much of the rest of the sun belt.
Because of this resurgence, many states are pausing plans to reopen and some are reimposing restrictions. But these restrictions are not the reason the economy is slowing. They are the necessary consequence of allowing the pandemic to get out of control.

Even the White House’s own coronavirus taskforce concludes that 21 states have outbreaks serious enough to justify more restrictions.

Notably, the economy is sliding again even though the government has pumped trillions of dollars into it. What happens when the money stops?

We’re about to find out. Senate Republicans can’t agree among themselves, let alone with House Democrats, about more funding, while Trump says “we really don’t care” about reaching a spending agreement.

That means starting this week more than 30 million Americans will no longer receive $600 in extra weekly employment benefits. As a result, tens of millions will not be able to make rent or mortgage payments. More will go hungry, including children. The economy is likely to slide even further.
The White House argues that the extra unemployment payments have discouraged workers from seeking jobs because some are receiving more money in benefits than they would earn by working.
“We don’t want to create disincentives to work,” says Trump adviser Larry Kudlow.

More rubbish. A study by Yale economists finds “no evidence” that people who have lost their jobs are choosing to stay unemployed because of the extra federal aid. In fact, “workers facing larger [unemployment] expansions generally appear to be quicker to return to work than others, not slower.”
People can’t go back to work because there is very little work for them to do. Fourteen million more people are unemployed than there are jobs.

Related: Paul Begala on Trump: 'Nothing unites the people of Earth like a threat from Mars'
In fact, the extra benefits have been keeping some 3 million employed because the money has gone into the pockets of people who spend it, thereby sustaining economic activity. Shrinking those benefits will put less money into consumer pockets, with the result that millions more jobs will be lost.

Lies about the economy are harder to spot than lies about the coronavirus because the virus’s grim death count is painfully apparent while the economy is complicated. But Trump’s economic lies are no less egregious, and they’re about to cause a great deal of unnecessary suffering.
Trump and Senate Republicans may not like it, but that’s the painful truth." [Article]

Mr. trump is learning the hard way that you can't lie your way out of a pandemic. Science and facts can be really stubborn when it comes to these types of things.

  4. Well, the futile attempt to make Americans so desperate that they will go to work when doing so may kill them (futile because there aren't jobs for fifteen million of them to go "back" to) will indeed make many of them desperate, and thus drive up the crime rate, as we are already seeing.
    Perhaps Fergus thinks he can use the crime rate to scare people into voting for him, but I think the goddamn apocalypse is way scarier than the crime rate, being that there will be more than ten times the annual number of homicides dead from covid before the election.

  8. I think Trump is beginning to fancy himself sort of a benevolent Dr. Evil. A people's dictator. I saw the headline that he was going to fix unemployment and did a double take. I think he meant he is going to magically restore unemployment benefits by executive order. But the way he talks about it, it's more like executive fiat.

    "I have a lot of powers!" said the little man with his pinkie in the corner of his mouth.

    He wants the voting public to know that it's the pesky democrats who can't agree on a solution. Dammit! He wants your vote.

  13. Free Derek Chauvin8:15 PM

    Based on the body cam footage released today, Officer Chauvin didn’t kill George Floyd, the drugs did. Floyd was high on fentanyl and meth and panicking about going to jail again; he overdosed. He said he couldn’t breathe before the officers restrained him and after that he asked to be on the ground. Putting your knee on someone’s back isn’t going to kill them, the knee was used to subdue him from fighting anymore with MPD. There is a strong case for accidental death and no racial aggravation at all.

    George Floyd told cops his mom just died. She’d been dead for two years. He said he’s too claustrophobic to get in the police car. He was just sitting in a car. He said he couldn’t breathe and was going to die while he was still standing.

    He screamed “ow” like he was in pain when they were barely touching him. A lot of this is probably because he was high on three different drugs. But the point is that cops hear bullshit from suspects all day every day. This can make it harder to tell when they’re being serious.

    And so when he was on the ground saying he was going to die, it was no different from what he was saying while he was standing, or what he was saying in the car. The cops still may have been negligent but this is all relevant context that will make a murder charge hard to prove.

    Trump is behind the BLM/Antifa riots seeking to defund the police. He is getting his Democrat city and state government minions to actually do so, and to direct police to stand down in the face of leftist violence and soaring crime rates.

    President Trump took action earlier today to prevent Americans from being displaced by foreign workers and offshore labor using federal dollars.

    The new executive order combats the misuse of H-1B visas, which too often have been exploited to replace qualified U.S. workers with lower-cost foreign ones. President Trump is directing all federal agencies to focus on hiring Americans for lucrative federal contracts, and it requires that only U.S. citizens be appointed to the government’s competitive service.

That last example is one of HUMANS developing antibodies to diseases more so than a racial difference wouldn't you say? Short and unconvincing list. Also no evidence attached to support any claim. (Take note how Gambler includes evidence to support her claims). Interesting though.
      Question, do you think certain racial groups are superior to others or do you just think we are didferent?

  74. Fergus: "When I took over we didn't even have a test."

    Well, that much is true. There was no test in 2017 for a virus that emerged in 2019. That's what the "19" in "COVID 19" means, 2019.

    Fergus: You know there are those that say, you can test too much. You do know that.

    SWAN: Who says that?

    Fergus: Oh, just read the manuals read the books.

    SWAN: Manuals? What manuals?

    Fergus: Read the books. Read the books.

    Here we have Fergus, who has never read a goddamn book in his whole miserable life, attempting to convince a reporter who has in fact read a book, that there are manuals and books that say too much testing in a goddamn pandemic is bad.
    Meanwhile right around a thousand more people die every day in the US from the pandemic Fergus is still trying to deny the existence of.

    Germany won the most medals in the 1936 Olympics.

    Jesse Owens' reception by the German public and the spectators in the Olympic stadium was warm. There were German cheers of “Yesseh Oh-vens” or just “Oh-vens” from the crowd. Owens was a true celebrity in Berlin, mobbed by autograph seekers to the point that he complained about all the attention. He later claimed that his reception in Berlin was greater than any other he had ever experienced, and he was quite popular even before the Olympics.

    Where did you get your numbers from? New research shows that counted deaths from COVID-19 in mid-April were about 20 times greater than seasonal influenza counted deaths recorded during peak weeks of the past seven flu seasons.

    If true, the assessment would provide a stinging rebuttal to policy makers and politicians who've maintained that the coronavirus is no more deadly than the seasonal flu. As of Wednesday, May 20, COVID-19 has killed more than 93,500 Americans.

  138. My take re sex and gender:

    Sex is biological. It's about anatomy and sperm and ova. It's mostly female and male, with 2% exceptions. Gender is psychological. It's about the performance of sex; what what does and thinks about one's anatomy. It is more variable than sex.

    Because sex is objectively distinguishable, it makes sense to base public policy on that distinction. Because gender is highly subjective, it makes sense to give gender political liberty.

    In fact I say that gender liberty is a subset of the First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty, seeing as how we Americans tend to worship the performance of sex.

    I dunno. Maybe infiltrating organizations? It's been done in the past such as in the 60's when the Black Panther Party was infiltrated and the agitators created situations in which the police had to respond. Do a search of Minister Fred Hampton's death. Past is often prologue. Long history of the government provoking actions in certain quarters. Doug may be able to add some additional insight.

    "I dunno. Maybe infiltrating organizations?"

    Antifa works for Trump? Jenny Durkin? Ted Wheeler? Bill DiBlasio? Jacob Frey? BLM is run by Trump operatives?

    Big city governments and blue state governors have uniformly supported this insurrection and refused to stop the rioters. They have ordered police forces to stand down and are all on board with defunding law enforcement. National democrat politicians refuse to even acknowledge Antifa exists. The entire party echoes and reinforces the anti-White rhetoric of BLM and other leftist organizations. Murder is spiking because the criminals in these cities have gotten the message that no one is going to stop them anymore.

    That's some infiltration there.

    ""Maybe you could explain to us non-geniuses how Trump has engineered the current spike in murders that is happening in Democrat controlled jurisdictions all over the US?"

    Trump hasn't intentionally "engineered" crimes spikes. But he has comprehensively failed to respond to COVID-19, which is why the US has such atrocious death rates from the disease. (US has something like 4% of the global population, but 22% of the COVID deaths.)

    And while it's always hard to prove cause and effect of short-term spikes in crime, COVID is an excellent place to start. The virus has put large numbers of people out of work, so they are economically stressed while having jack shit to occupy their time -- ideal conditions for creating crime.

    Furthermore, COVID has eaten up medical resources that would usually be used for other things. For example, we are probably going to see increases in deaths due to cancer and cardiovascular events, due to people who were unwilling or unable to access medical care like they would have before the epidemic. And this can also impact emergency room trauma care. Which means that some people who would previously have gotten shot and survived, due to the valiant efforts of ER surgeons, now get shot and die.

    So, part of the increase in the murder rate might be the lack of medical resources converting what would've been attempted murders into murders.

    All of which boils down to saying, Trump's incompetence in dealing with COVID has led to:

    More deaths from COVID itself
    More economic damage
    And, possibly, more murders.

    Bad governmental policy can have terrible unintended consequences.

    As part of their 2020 election strategy, Leftist mobs tied to the Democrat party riot, loot and murder with assistance of Democrat mayors and Democrat governors. They do this on the false pretext that police kill black suspects more often, based on a black criminal who died of a drug-induced heart attack while resisting arrest by a Democrat police force in a 100% Democrat-controlled city. Subsequent attacks on police result in a nation-wide murder spree in Democrat jurisdictions.

    First, it is not happening "in Democrat controlled jurisdictions all over the US?" and second engineered is not the right word, as Fergus is far too lame to successfully deliberately cause much of anything to happen, but here's how the goddamn Republicans did it:
    They destroyed the economy by failing to contain a deadly virus and now there are thirty million unemployed people, some of whom are desperate and stupid and resort to crime they have no business trying to pull.

    On the lighter side, Missouri passed Medicaid expansion yesterday so almost half a million uninsured Missourians can get healthcare in the middle of a goddamn pandemic.

    And Kobach lost, which reduces the probability of Kansas electing a Democratic senator, but speaks well of the sanity of the Kansas Republican primary electorate.

  154. So apparently asking Fergus what his priorities would be if he were elected to a second term is roughly equivalent to asking Sarah Palin what she reads.
    They are both bone-simple basic questions that only produce awkward cringe-worthy non-answers from these leading lights of the Republican party.

    With cases surging in the wingnut wave of COVID, hospitals are filling up again. Many have reached max capacity. I am not surprised you are ignorant of this, since you live in a fact-free, Trump-flattering fantasy world where everything is great and his presidency has been a smashing success.

    The Floyd arrest video confirms what we knew all along, i.e., the reality of the incident does not support the antiwhite narrative built upon it. The more important revelation is that the US has been hijacked by antiwhite communists who suppressed the tape and unleashed chaos.

    At this point, only a fool would believe the US - and many other Western countries - can ever go back to a pretence of unity under the flag. There are multiple and severe fractures that encompass race, culture, class and sex. A new settlement must be found - for everyone's sake.

    These divisions have always existed, but the absorption of the leftist narrative, and forced multiculturalism, have mutated them from something natural and functional into a perpetual cause of bitter conflict. The genie cannot be put back in the bottle and we *must* grasp this.

    Because sex is objectively distinguishable, it makes sense to base public policy on that distinction. Because gender is highly subjective, it makes sense to give gender political liberty.

    In fact I say that gender liberty is a subset of the First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty, seeing as how we Americans tend to worship the performance of sex.
