Founder, Trump can lie and bullshit to his hearts content. The issue here is whether he has the power to pressure the FDA. You don't care about subverting sciece? Then take your chances with untested transfusions. Or let your kids take them. Good luck.

Trump pressured the FDA into allowing these plasma infusions for emergency use only. Some MDs including that (preening asshole) Fauci have urged caution and serious adverse effects are possible.
Wait for clinical trials; we've been through the same kind of bullshit with hydroxychloroquine.

Trump's own FDA revoked emergency use of Hydroxychloroquine in July (or was it June?).
Arguing topics like this is futile with people who consume Fox News all day, who read conspiracy-theory & pseudo-science websites, and who insist that Fauci is "preening asshole." The same people insist that Obama was born in Kenya and that climate change is a Chinese hoax. Why bother arguing with tinfoil-hat nutcases.

We have Netflix and Amazon Prime and it's tempting to cut the cord entirely. But Dish is dirt cheap and it's not cost effective to let them go...at least not yet.

@SkiBirther, the whiny Democrats are fighting to keep old kooks like yourself alive. We've got a $24 Trillion debt. How are we going to repay that debt and where's it going to come from? Answer: cuts to Medicare and SS. So when your cancerous prostate is splitting your balls in half and you need that hip replacement after falling down the stairs, you better hope a Democratic congress is there to help decaying geezers like yourself. Lol, after Trump's executive order for a payroll-tax holiday do you think he gives two shits about aging boomers like yourself

As far as I can tell, the political threads are in the politics forum. @Founder often starts political threads of his own, so apparently it's condoned by the owner. We're facing the most important election in generations which explains the interest. There's still plenty of opportunities to discuss your prostitution habits.

"Trump won OH, FL, PA, WI, and MI in 2016 (all went for Obama in 08, 12.) Lose more than 1 or 2 of those states, and Trump is toast. "

As I write this, Trump is losing in FL PA WI MI and OH is a tossup. The Economist simulation currently has Biden's probability of winning at 87%.

Does anyone know what he's talking about? The executive order gives payroll taxes a holiday until the end of the year, and, as @Justin points out, Trump wants to make the cuts permanent, gutting SS and Medicare funding. As Justin said, that's political suicide to seniors in FL.

I hear all the men in Miami look just like Crokkett and Tubbs -- even in the nursing homes.
Go to LoDo Denver on a hot summer day and you'll see beautiful girls everywhere. The lifestyle here has the lowest obesity rate in the country. Maybe supassing other places I've lived like the Bay Area and S. Calif.

@Tetra- There's an entire industry, paid by the ultra-wealthy, to hide or avoid taxes offshore. Whether or not it's possible to implement a wealth tax is entire academic discipline in itself. All of this is radical politics today, but give it another decade to simmer. As we drift into oligargy we may finally get enough people to care about the subject.
And something like 2% of wealth over $50M is not going squeeze the last breath out of capitalism.

Typical dumbshit post. But what do you expect from the source?
The thread title is not quite correct. The top 1% control about the same wealth as those with wealth in the 50%->90% range. And those with wealth between 90%->99% control most of the wealth. So the top 1% has about the same wealth as the middle class.
Wealth inequality has a way of snowballing and reinforcing itself. Liz Warren is toast, but her wealth tax was worth exploring. The basic idea was to leave fortunes under $50M untouched and begin taxing wealth over $50M at 2%. There's so much as a society that could be accomplished with that extra money. And at only 2%, there's probably enough incentive for the next Bezos or Gates or Musk. Might be difficult or impossible to collect the taxes in practice and a wealth tax might be unconstitutional. But note that the rest of continue to pay property taxes (which is just another form of a wealth tax).
Berkeley economists Saez and Zucman have written popular books on wealth inequality. That's where Warren got the idea in the first place.

Yield on TIPS are all negative. Yes, really.

With pathetic bond yields there's no place to put your money. Hence, a grossly overvalued stock market.

@BabyDuck, why should you care one way or another what anonymous people on the internet think about your lifestyle? Why would you start a thread like this? If you ask 1000 people here, 999 will assume that you're a loser in your home country and too old, repulsive, and opinionated to succeed in the dating pool. But you're very much sought after in third-world Asian economies where young-ish girls are desperate to free themselves from crushing poverty.
Just embrace your lifestyle --don't worry about others think. I'm just trying to be helpful. Bring that up with your therapist next time!

It's possible to be "dumped" by a GF, but not a sex worker. Sounds like there's way too much emotional baggage on the part of the OP. She's probably doing him a favor.

I don't mean to be impolite, @BabyDuck, but the part about being an intolerant know-it-all fits you perfectly. You do post about drinking, so "drunkard" seems fitting, too. "Macho" doesn't fit you at all, and I picture you as a scrawny geriatric type who would collapse trying to pick up a suitcase
From what I can tell, men who travel to third-world Asian countries to sleep with dirt-poor barmaids are neurotic, mal-adjusted, weirdos who can't succeed with women here. But I'm sure these dirt-poor girls worship you, anyway.
Lol

I hope the demographic FACTS about Trump supporters piss you off, @Orange. Everyone should vote -- that's why Trump's interference with the USPS should be considered an emergency
