2. It's not only old mothers dying. 50% of Covid-19 deaths are under 70.

3. Exactly how many lives is a point on the Dow worth?

7. Some fucked up corporate or insurance actuarian

can probably give you an exact figure...

The Ford Pinto horror PROVED that they actually weighed the cost of not doing anything vs payouts on death lawsuits.....

They look at it as simply a "Cost vs. Benefit" calculation and analysis.......

Unlike many other countries, the federal gov't merely fines the corporation with some token dollar penalty.
In a lot of other countries, they imprison the top management and in some, the even execute them if their actions were particularly horrific like in the case of the pinto.....

11. I love Inslee, but feel like Cuomo is the real President right now.

Thank god for him.

13. Wow, I don't think I've ever gotten so many recs on a thread before.

He is pretty much the closest thing we've got to a president right now.

He would crush the Orange Anus.

But I think he’s off target here. It’s imperative the economy re-open full tilt by Easter. I read that Trump’s top money making businesses are losing $500,000/DAY. That’s unacceptable. So, a few hundred thousand people die. We’ve got to get our priorities straight. Money trumps lives (pun very much intended).

Why wait until Easter? Let’s re-open for business now!

16. I hope this is ...

Explore your smilies, please and thank you.

[hangaleft]

17. Of course it's sarcasm

I just didn’t think a banner was necessary.

My apologies. I’ll add one now.

[pazzyanne]

18. Thank you.

My funny bone is not working as well as it use to and the COVID-19 and tRump are two things that I definitely don't find funny.

[hangaleft]

19. I wasn't making light of the situation

Use of sarcasm doesn’t necessarily mean one is not taking the matter in question seriously. To the contrary, I often use sarcasm to underscore the severity of the situation.

[pazzyanne]

23. As do I, so in "normal times" I would not have questioned your use of it.

Thank you for taking time to explain. I really appreciate your input.

26. FWIW, here's an example of what I find to be inappropriate humor at this time

You needn’t reply. Just felt like sharing this if you haven’t seen it.

I didn’t comment in the thread. But I should have.

Edit — I decided to post after all...

[pazzyanne]

28. Now that is funny, and sadly appropriate!

Thanks for sharing!

20. That's MY GOVERNOR !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nuff' said !!

[Boomerproud]

22. I didn't notice till today how much he sounds like

his father. Stay strong. The truth about trumps perfidy and incompetence will come out.

24. No human life has a price on it. Obviously rump thinks everything has a price ...

And that everyone should immediately get out there and work work work and then buy buy buy!

This is the kind of true scuzzy a&& crowd rump hangs around with in real life, day in / day out.

A true scumbag, if you ask me.

If you want my opinion, we should all (besides needed items), withhold buying anything, and watch how prices go even lower. It'll only help us more.

It's amazing that they (business leaders etc.) never gripe and moan when prices keep going up (like they have been going) and that the markets, in going up and up, never gave the vast majority of us anything (majority of the gains went to the 1%ers). Oh, I know that there were a few who made money on 401Ks, etc., and hopefully they'll cashed out to protect themselves, being that this correction has been due for some time.

I expect soon we'll see rump lash out, order people to get back to work (don't, for health reasons), and if they don't, he'll order some sort of intervention or crap like that. Look at how he's treating the NY governor who desperately needs medical materials.
