What countries handled better and are doing better financially? In fact, experts even said that if the US did EVERYTHING right we could still loose 200K to COVID......
You really do need to step away from the keyboard. You are too riled up over something that someone posted on an internet chat forum my friend. I am a man and I can admit when I am wrong or my information was only partially correct. I made a statement to @Jmg off the cuff and without researching it. He did his research and found that I left out the fact that over 50% have some stake in the market but are not direct investors. I admitted that I omitted that part. It's called being a man and having just an ounce of humility. Trump never admits he is wrong nor does he take responsibility for anything he does or says. That's a fools game. South Korea, Germany, Denmark......why do we have 4 or 5% of the worlds population but we have accounted for over 20% of the deaths? It isn't because we've threaded the needle.
I'm fine. Just calling you on your shit. But it wasnt a number to be partially correct on.... It was just.... WRONG.... Being in the market is being in the market. Now after he called you on it, you are like "well.........." Man up bruh... No I said show me the economic data. Can you? Or are you back to deaths?
just another reason not to place a bet on this election: https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/202...ent-to-people-who-moved-out-of-state-or-died/ Nearly 400,000 California Ballots Sent To People Who Moved Out Of State Or Died LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Millions of California ballots have been delivered to residents across the state as early voting begins for the 2020 general election, but some have gone to people who should no longer be registered to vote in the state. A new study from the Election Integrity Project California has found that close to 400,000 ballots have been sent to people who moved or died.
So Trump is refusing to provide federal emergency aid to California for the wild fire. This in spite of the fact the fires hit in areas he has real support. Trump won the rural counties in 2016 in fact he won more counties in California than HRC. Here he his refusing to help his supporters to spite his political enemies. It’s actions such as this that show how little he cares about his supporters. It also shows how pitifully small his understanding of the country is. His mean spirited pettiness is what is driving people away and will insure his loss Nov 3. Trump administration blocks California wildfire relief Disaster funds would have helped rebuilding and cleanup efforts in the aftermath of several blazes, including the Bobcat and Creek fires. The Trump administration has rejected California's request for disaster relief funds aimed at cleaning up the damage from six recent fires across the state, including Los Angeles County’s Bobcat fire, San Bernardino County’s El Dorado fire, and the Creek fire, one of the largest that continues to burn in Fresno and Madera counties. The move heighten tensions between California and the president over wildfires. California saw record fires this year, fueled by several factors including climate change. Trump has repeatedly criticized California for its handling of fire policy, sometimes with misleading claims, and had rejected the role of rising temperatures as a factor. More than 4 million acres burned in 2020, more than double the state’s previous record. The fires this year have burned an area larger than the state of Connecticut and killed 31 people. The decision came to light when the administration denied a request from Gov. Gavin Newsom for a major presidential disaster declaration, said Brian Ferguson, deputy director of crisis communication and media relations for the governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Ferguson could not provide a reason for the federal government’s denial. President Trump has threatened to withhold federal dollars in aid before, including in 2019 unless state officials “get their act together, which is unlikely.” A major disaster declaration allows for cost-sharing for damage, cleanup and rebuilding between the state and federal government. It also activates federal programs led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. California did not ask for a specific dollar amount because damage estimates are not complete, Ferguson said. “The true cost won’t be known for months or years afterward,” he said. He added: “What the state is looking for is the highest level of federal support, which requires the highest bars be cleared. But we feel our case for those requirements has been met.” According to Ferguson, such aid could easily reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Outside the Southern California fires, the state is also asking for aid for Mendocino County’s Oak fire and Siskiyou County’s Slater fire. Newsom formally submitted a letter to the White House and FEMA on Sept. 28 asking for such a declaration and citing the fact that five of the six largest fires in California’s recorded history have taken place this year. The biggest is the August Complex fire, which began Aug. 16 and as of Oct. 15 had burned just over 1 million acres through seven Northern California counties and was 77% contained. Newsom also said funds would go toward helping rebuild public infrastructure, miles of roads, parks, signs and fire shelters. “Many of the counties impacted by these wildfires are still recovering from previous devastating wildfires, storms and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Newsom wrote. He added, “Californians are exhausted.” Many residents lost homes and property that was uninsured. According to Newsom, as of Sept. 28, 959 residences were destroyed by fires and 90 more were damaged, totaling an estimated $264,289,200. The governor also noted the cash-strapped nature of the state, which is projecting a pandemic-induced $54.3-billion deficit this fiscal year. The denial of the declaration will probably lead to a federal appeal by the state. Ferguson is hopeful too that FEMA will reverse course and just approve the decision. In February, the federal government agreed to pay back California more than $170 million for repair to the Oroville Dam spillway. Overall, the government kicked in $562.5 million for the project. California previously successfully applied for a declaration from the federal government for two fires caused by lightning, including the Complex fire, in August. Newsom will also probably ask for another disaster declaration, Ferguson said, for the Glass fire in Sonoma County and the Zogg fire in Shasta County. The Zogg fire was extinguished on Tuesday, while the Glass fire is 97% contained.
they did. who cares. again, this is a normal and expected thing. we do it and they do it, and we have for decades. its not trumps fault and there is no reason to care at all. also, you imply they actually fucked with the votes, but really they just put out a tiny amount of propaganda. they didnt really meddle with an election as they did offer up their own opinions on it, which is fine. we are doing the same thing all over the world. you think if putin ran against a more pro-western candidate we wouldnt invest massive resources into getting the good guy elected? what do you want trump to do? tell rocket man to fuck himself and create an antagonistic relationship? this isnt true. he told us it was dangerous. i knew from the start to protect my parents and not care about it in any other way.
