That this is happening in UK give me some hope US can take away their "stimulus" focus here. UK typically is even more skeptical of unfairness than US, and the idiotic phase-in and means testing proposals of yesterday show how far behind US is in addressing this:

I don't really think Johnson or Feinstein's seem related to the coronavirus briefings. Honestly even Purdue... Burr/Loeffler are the ones I think are legit issues with privileged trading.
-
I think greg's interpretation of barro's post is bad anyway. His point was there needs to be planning for the post-shut it down world. Testing capabilities is the way out of that. This is just to buy us time, it is not a solution.

My god, the idea that the SPRING BREAK beachgoers were millenials is hilarious. Millenials are 40 fv#%ing years old now!

I don't think we'll have good data for a while. All correlations now.

I am hopeful that the success of the US in reducing smoking helps in the mortality rates here. In south korea, more women were getting infected then men, but women had a smoking rate of only 5% in south korea, which hopefully is a contributing factor to their low mortality rates (aside from not getting overrun in hospitals). US has a higher female percentage that smokes, but overall is about 10% lower than italy or south korea. Let's hope.

This is definitely an OOTP season for me. Start off reasonably hot, get excited, by July I'm like 20-55 and all my star players are trash and prospects failed. (i.e. I'm very good at OOTP)

Cutting a check is good, but doing what you can to encourage labor hoarding + extremely generous UI during this downturn + directing underutilized labor to manufacturing shortages is much better

One - I do think the fact that the airlines are 1) important to the nations infrastructure 2) so often needing bailouts due to external events but 3) also needing bailouts...for incompetence but ge tthem due to 1) ... It makes sense to actually force some strict capital requirements that would limit buy-backs. They need to save more and gov't should include the unions in those discussions I would hope and hold my breath for. On the flip side: - I don't particularly like the "bailout" lingo being thrown out now. No company planned for this well, and I struggle to say any should. For acts of god, you have insurance. Perhaps in future we have pandemic insurance...but it's likely a waste of money. This is an area where it is the government that should have been the key player in prevention and prep, but it also needs to be the key player in the economic fallout. This is essentially a planned recession at this point, so the gov't should just guarantee payrolls to all that will not lay people off. And for those that already have, fix and make UI more generous ...yesterday! Yeah I don't want money going to boeing, or united or casinos etc etc. But I DO want money to float the restaurants. I don't want anyone to lose their jobs. Just float it all. Get through this. Allow a snap back. Don't try to just go halfway, end up with 20% unemployment, and then when we start operating as normally, slow the recovery down because you have to re-train and re-match millions of people in the workforce along with the demand shortfall that comes with that. Just mail the f'n checks, guarantee payday, produce the shit out of masks, and move fast. Be willing to waste money on those that don't need it. I guarantee the debt crisis will NOT be as bad as this or as difficult to solve.

If someone is at a level that they are earnestly competing with Trubisky then you'd hope they are a 6th round pick from directional U that is making 500k, not making 20 mills.

If you are sure you are planning on moving in 3-4 years, I would say don't do it. The cash would be more valuable to you during this volatile time. But you may as well quote out the closing costs, but for 3-4 years it may be close to a wash or slight benefit to refinancing.

Oh he might start, but they didn't find themselves a starter.
-
meh, they absolutely went after a qb that would only be competition. I know I spoke well of foles in past, but that was in comparison to bridgewater. I think this is a garbage, flailing offseason.

Wife's coworker got it. His roommate had to go to the hospital for breathing difficulty. They could only get tested basically about a week after they started exhibiting symptoms. Both under 30.

Just one week ago we woke up and there were still basketball games to be played that night.

His off the field stuff just ruins all of it. I chuckle everytime I think of the hard knocks where jason licht is telling someone that winston was the greatest leader he's ever seen. Someone followed up "in football?" and he says "anywhere!"

Unclear to me why the bears are targeting the worst of the available QBs.

graduated in 2009. lol

Airfare is cheaper than ever. Oil rises and tickets absolutely rise. We think companies like spirit are garbage...except they do extraordinarily well. The cost of flights from chicago to nyc since the 80s has barely budged despite inflation. Inflation has been unusually low by historical standards, not sure how the fed is biting into peoples hard savings. While savings accounts are basically useless...they can buy houses for much lower interest and use that for a savings vehicle. And this whole thing...it's a pandemic. The economy had shown itself to be remarkably resilient. China's growth stumbled, it chugged along. The eurozone went into insane austerity mode, it chugged along. The oil shocks of 14-16 hit the one heated part of the US economy...it chugged along. The tech bubble basically burst, it chugged along. Then, yeah, a virus comes in and the world shuts down, so the permabears can say "see! We told you!"

Lol I tried to google it then assumed he was like Sheryl crow and lance armstrongs kid

I think he just missed him. Abel is 17 Kelley is 18.

Iooking like it’s less likely but I’m in camp Veen or Detmers.

Woof.

I would argue that in addition, Bridgewater has led a pretty charmed life with his circumstances. He's never been asked to do much, consistently had good defenses.

Has bridgewater ever had a run as good as two of foles runs in his career?
