    He's certainly not poor financially.

    They probably don't want him dating an American girl at all. I mean, he's supposed to be going to Clark High, where my daughter goes, but his parents transferred him to Jasper, which is 70-80% Asian. In 8th grade, he begged (to no avail) to go to Clark, instead. It may be my daughter's fault...

    My daughter had something like 12 Planoette field uniforms, so of course, they never wore all of them.

    I think he knows it already. Its not a question of can they grasp reality? Its that reality doesn't fit the "orange man bad" narrative, so they just refuse delivery on reality.

    Businesses keep an inventory of suppliess and products sufficient to supply current anticipated needs based upon past performance and some future projections with seasonal adjustments for things like the Christmas buying season. To carry more inventory than is necessary incurs costs over and above budgetary expectations would increase the amount they would have to spend just to keep stuff for unanticipated emergencies. Do you really think a company is going to build more new warehouses than they need?

    Nobody is to blame fot the toilet paper shortage other than the panic buying by the consumers. A buying frenzy tends to feed itself and grow. I never thought about buying more toilet paper than I needed for a few weeks until I heard that everybody was buying it and if I didn't I might not be able to get any when I did run low.

    To answer your question, no. It will not be different next time.

    No it is not, but the buck has to stop somewhere. And every problem can't be blamed on Obama or previous presidents either. They are all shit IMO. The entire federal government should be fired.

    Given the current statistics on the virus .... only 15% of the population will get the virus. 1.5% mortality rate, means N.Y. could end up with a death toll of 42,750. Just being an unemotional, logistics kinda guy, any number for NY under 42,750 deaths will actually be considered beating the odds. ... ie., success. Little tiny numbers are really unrealistic expectations. Though, I’m still thinking the numbers are going to come in way under this even for NY. I would be surprised if the entire US death toll reaches 42,750.

    Oh come one. No one is blaming everything on him.

    When people started bitching about lack of PPE, it is 100% valid to point out the last administration used it all and never replaced it.

    How the fuck was Trump supposed to know that?

    I thought it was common sense to replaced what you use... Guess not!

    NOTE ... I’m not blaming it on OBAMA. My comments on Obama were along the lines of his performance in H1N1 was nothing to crow about, AND, that was only because the Winstons of the world are intent on insisting that Trump is doing a bad job.

    Trump has done a wonderful job! His Job has been to communicate and give the public a sense of hope. To let the people know, we are on this and we will prevail. His message has followed the development of the crisis, as it should. ....... It’s not his job to solve the crisis, that is the job of thousands of people, including Admin officials, Governors, Mayors, State and Federal Legislators, City Councils, and all the people involved with Healthcare.
