Fair enough. Still, given the number of Christians in the US who prioritize wealth over anything else, no reason it can't be both.

Thanks for reminding me of... this. Ugh.

To poke at some other things...

There are a few more details in the coronavirus poster removal order, for those interested.



Trump too personally wounded by Pelosi to negotiate with her on coronavirus stimulus deal

And McConnell's made it clear that his solution to the issue is to push it all onto Pelosi.
 
Trump is going to have his rallies,no mater what.
Trump does noto give a crap about the safetyof the American People.
 
Trump Tweeted

Pocahontas, working in conjunction with the Democrat Party, totally destroyed the campaign of Bernie Sanders. If she would have quit 3 days earlier, Sanders would have beaten Biden in a route, it wouldn’t even have been close. They also got two other losers to support Sleepy Joe!

I'm torn between admiration that Trump apparently knows the word "rout" and contempt that he can't spell it.

If you like automobils, how can you vote for a Democrat who all want to get rid of cars, as quickly as possible, especially if they are powered by gasoline. Remember also, no more than one car per family. I, on the other hand, have new plants being built all over Michigan, Plus!

Best unemployment numbers in the history of our Country. Best employment number EVER, almost 160 million people working right now. Vote Republican, unless you want to see these numbers obliterated!

Gotta love that part. If a Democratic governor/representative/mayor of a state/district/city has problems on their home turf (crime, the homeless, etc.), it's totally that gov/rep/mayor's fault; if a state with a Democratic governor (like Michigan) can report good news, it's totally "hey, I did that!" If Trump weren't the President of the US, his childish behavior would be almost child-like charming.

We could all laugh at a sit-com titled "President Guy," if we didn't have this damned reality show.

Except there is no way “President Guy” could last 3 seasons. At least not with this casting.

Although, “President Baby”....?

Dammit. Now, I can’t stop my mind from trying to work all of President Trump’s traits into an upbeat TV theme song.

I'd say Trump is toast.
The Stockholder Class was happy with him when he delivered a continuous Rally - but his mishandling of the crisis has cost them billions.
 
It's gonna be a long a stressful few months because as far as I'm concerned no matter what the polls, the pundits, the talking heads, the voices on the street, and the general "tone" all say... Trump ain't gone until the next President gets sworn in, and probably with a few buffer days even beyond that

Which only goes to show how dumb the 'stockholder class' can be.

They should have recognized that much of Trump's success was built on a growing economy he inherited.

They should have known that Trump is incompetent and eventually he would do things to mess things up (Trade wars, Coronavirus).

They should have known that the Republican policies that were implemented (huge tax cuts/deregulation) would provide only a short term boost to the economy, and the result would be even bigger problems in the future.

But, they decide to go for a short-term windfall, and screw the future. (Perhaps they are expecting more bailouts, like after the 2008 crash.)

And they have seen just how incompetent he is. I think there never had much respect for him, btu thought in a real crisis he would let the experts handle it and then take the credit. But now they realise he actually thinks he is some kind of unique genius and his gut instincts and feelings are vastly superior to all the experts in the world.

All Trump has to do to benefit economic recovery is STFU.

He can't do that. It's impossible for him. He'd sooner beat Michael Phelps in every Olympic swimming event than keep his fool mouth shut for one day.
 
It's cute how people think an economic downturn "hurts" the powerful.

Even I've learned a bit about how to be visciously advantageous. 6-12 months from now I will hop into a new house where the development incentives are moving to. I anticipate the bottom of the market will be just after that when out of state operations will swoop in. I and they will apply for every rebate on offer and fix the place up.

In 5 years I'll be at 2x-3x equity (mostly because I'm just following what's been decided, not because I'm a super genius).

Market resets are a huge opportunity for big interests to make cheap acquisitions.

People who have very little padding or insufficient assets hate it (I have just enough to play the game this time around for a hopefully good condition home in a 100+ year old neighborhood). For the fabulously wealthy it's just a phase in the cycle.

Wouldn't it be less risky to just buy up shares at their new low prices until recovery? I'd rather have an extra chunk of the S&P than a chunk of real estate.
 
Coronavirus will annihilate Trump's migration policy, when asylum seekers will be infected en masse and will require medical help.
