Don't post stuff that you don't stand behind and misunderstandings won't happen.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
What, we can't discuss things that we don't fully agree or disagree on because it hits your ideological sore spot? And now you can't own up to your part of a misunderstanding?
Rather than shit up this thread, which I find interesting as KIKI has gone and done the work to bring the stats here, I'm simply going to ignore your posts and focus instead on relevant information.

Because it sure as fuck sounds like it's what you want.
I think you need a time out from the News. You're turning into a lunatic.

Yeah. I am.
UBI is certainly a lot better way of dispersing cash than 1.5 Trillion Dollar Wall Street Bailouts, and would be a much more fair system of distribution than any and all of the existing programs out there.
UBI is NOT brainwashing generations of future adults via a Federally Mandated Curriculum that must be adhered to or else you don't get the tax dollars.
UBI is NOT a centralized health care system which will ration off healthcare at its own whims and expect us all to be alright with the criminals in office holding the futures of all of our well beings in their hands.
You've got politicians talking about a temporary UBI right now during the virus. What do you think is going to happen when half of the existing jobs are automated and nobody will ever be able to go back to working them? It's really not that far off until that happens.
Major false equivalency there. Several in one post, in fact.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
Just to be clear that I didn't miss this post, I'm not going to respond to it or anything else you post here.

Honestly, I could give two shits what Kiki thinks right now.
She called me "Kevin" because she seems to think that is my name after Nilbog said it and she was being a bitch. She also brought up the fact that Trump's odds are down when that wasn't even related to our conversation because she knew I wouldn't like that and she was being a bitch.
I've asked her what her beef was several times and she plays games until she goes insane? Not my problem.
If anybody should be apologizing, it's her.
But I'm not asking for it.
Man up, Kiki.
No hard feelings here if you're going to start behaving like a human being again.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

US halts deployment & recalls troops from NATO’s biggest drill ‘Defender Europe 2020’ due to coronavirus threat
I have mentioned before that the USA has to think about all of its troops, and all of its bases, on foreign soil: Japan. Germany. Mideast. South Korea. Places where the coronavirus could be steadily infiltrating our troops' quarters.
Like the well-heeled, well-traveled, well-connected elites, our troops are also a risk.
*****
If this thing is as disruptive as China and Italy seem to indicate, then the way the world does business will have to change. If nations refuse to take effective measures, then they will probably suffer like China and Italy and their economies will suffer with them, along with a lot of people dying. If the DO take effective action, fewer people will die but economies will suffer anyway: frivolous consumption reduces, supply chains are broken, companies that depend on revenue to service their debt will falter.
Now, I know what will happen, at least here in the USA: The Fed will shit trillions at banks and big corporations, and the government maybe $330 billion to us peons. (That's $1000 for every person in the USA, including children, which sounds like a lot of money but is probably two or three orders of magnitude LESS than what's going to the wealthy elite.)
There will be sporadic and unccordinated quarantines, partial shudowns, random "shelter in place" orders, but we will only know of they're going to be effective in the bellweather states of Washington, California, New York and Connecticut (where the rich people of NYC live). Other states, which are far behind the experience, will hopefully take a lesson.
Testing is STILL constrained. Trump will try to control the bad news instead of facing it head-on, just like he and the Fed goosed the stock market instead of addressing the economy. The everything-bubble, which the Fed blew under Obama AND Trump, will pop. They will blame the coronavirus instead of the massive debt that they all took on.
EVERYONE will try to spin this to their advantage. The deep state would like total control on how people move and where they get their information. Pharmaceuticals would LOVE to be the company that comes up with the winning antivirals and vaccines. Hospital corporations and insurances (of all kinds, not just health insurances) are trying to figure out how to keep the ax from falling. All affected small businesses are going to want government handouts, and a lot of people are going to want paid vacations. Hedge funds, banks, and stock funds are going to use the virus as an excuse for their irresponsible borrowing/lending practices, and of course all of the banks and major corps are going to want handouts, too. Amazon, UPS and Fedex are going to do a booming business. So are the makers of sanitizing products.
*****
So, as I see it, there are three possible policy reactions to the virus:
Do nothing. Let it kill off 5% of your oldest and sickest, and a few of your younger productive people, let "herd immunity" develop, and get over the economic pain quickly. People will be pissed off. They will (rightly) feel that the government doesn't care about them. Governments may fall.
Devote a LOT of resources to testing, contact tracing, and isolation. Drive-thru testing, like S Korea. Involves a lot of resources for the testing and some pain for the quarantine part, but avoids both massive deaths with concommittant strain on medical care and government instability due to citizen dissatisfaction. It WOULD require a change in how medical care, or at leat medical testing, is delivered.
Rely on "social distancing" and untargted/uninformed lockdowns which are hugely disruptive economically. However, this may have the benefit of keeping the healthcare system functional, and also slow things down until more thorough testing can be implemented. It limits our personal free

Here 6ix. Instead of LOL'ing you to dismiss your lunacy, I'll just post this instead whenever you post something as stupid as you are.
YOU LIED ABOUT ME. I'm still waiting for an apology.

And I think you're right, instead of admitting that the asset bubbles were blown up with fake money, they'll just pretend it was all the fault of SARS-COV-2, and everything was just fine if only ...

It will be an interesting time. I'll put my thinking cap on.

Happy New Year, WISHY. I edited out your psychopathic screed!
But debt will be magically ignored, the chasms in how the economy 'functions' will be covered over with paper mâché, and eventually they way things are now will be restored.
And we're expendable.
I don't think things will change until there are literally too few people to keep the system running.
Just imo, of course.

I think, KIKI, that you're forgetting that China and Russia are subtly trying to topple the USA petrodollar at a time when we are at our most vulnerable (everything bubble, coronvirus, and now oil price war).
The Fed's only possible response (and I mean "only possible", the Fed literally doesn't have any other mode of action in its arsenal) is to pump even more debt into the economy. And while the government (Trump) has a lot more modes of action, it won't take them because Trump is unwilling or incapable of perceiving anything other than throwing more dollars into the bonfire.

People loosing their shit and we're basically on day 3 of what will likely be a many months national lock down.
That's oddly hi-larious.
