(73,530 posts)he bet 8-10k. i bet 1m.
he took it as further proof that i am an insane commie pinko.
of course, he lost the second week. but being a fair person, i told him that we should have had a time limit. it was assumed to be a bet for the duration. i suggested 1 yr.
as a further gesture, i said that i didnt win until i split the difference.
i did the exact same calculation as you, based on the numbers i was seeing from italy and france.
he is a smart fellow, but has little math or science background, where i have a 2 yr science degree, and am a lifelong geek. i have been grateful for the ability to gloat, and gloat i do. on fb.
it's a funny thing about numbers. i think the traitors are making a serious mistake w their cherry picked data and made up numbers. they take a different route in the brain. they arent subject to the usual filters.
i read about a guy who broke out of scientology by studying science. i have been taking similar advantage of his complete ignorance here. he believes a lot of stupid things, including ear candles, ac vinegar, you name it.
i have been able to steer him toward reality when his cures fail a couple of times. there i dont gloat.
as the projections become concrete, a lot of veils will fall, imho.
advice to those of you w trumpkins in your life- rub their noses in those numbers. fucker carlson et al are making big hay out of failed projections, and minor issues w the numbers, like when was patient zero.
today we surpass twitlers 'good job' marker. rub their noses in that number at every opportunity.
