    The fight and effort of underground basketball did not work. A place I dearly love and have spent many hours in Ohio(Coaching/Reffing/watching my son) is closing their doors. Simply put the fight to get the doors open is just too much for the owners, with the restrictions of capacity they can not keep the lights on. Sad day indeed

    Sorry to hear. Talk about a slippery slope. What started out as "flatten the curve" has turned into flatten the economy, growth, prosperity, and quality of life. Ridiculous.

    Dow is up 7000 in past 2 months. Reminder than what is good for short term Wall Street gains is usually not good for Main Street.

    Good news for most is that in spite of all this, the DJIA suffered it's inevitable 'course correction' during the scamdemic. Roughly sitting at where it was last June.

    If states get back up and running and people get back to work here in the next month or so, we could boom again.

    Thank you, joe taxpayer for the $2.5T infusion.

    Peasants got their cake.

    The story and damage to be done is still amazing. E.G. American laying off management (they cree am agreement to not layoff labor till Sept), Boeing has more cuts yesterday, unemployment for May is 20%, Hertz bankrupt, most service work is irregular (at best), hotel and car rental businesses dead for the foreseeable x weeks/months, more vacation destinations and communities now will start feeling pain post memorial day... That's just a few items from this weeks news.

    sooo....CDC releases actual new figures/models that indicate the likely death rate of those infected with the Wuhan virus will end up around .26% - not 26%, not 2.6%, - 0.26%

    https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

    And the WHO releases new guidance stating there is no reason for healthy individuals to wear masks unless taking care of or otherwise in consistent close inside quarters with someone exhibiting symptoms.

    I am as skeptical of the CDC and WHO as anyone. But can we all agree now that none of these "experts" can get their s4it straight for 5 minutes and get on with our lives?

    Agree, I understand to a point why the story and guidance has changed so much as this has evolved. I think many are waking up to the reality of the situation.

    What's interesting is MSU opening, the President of MSU is an Infections Disease guru. MSU was the first to announce that they will have students.

    Virus news cycle is ending. Apart from the burning of Minneapolis, it's anybody working on the next big thing?

    Impeachment, redux
    Earthquake
    Tsunami
    Anything?

    Don’t tell anyone, but I am a Canadian spy. Payback is coming for the War of 1812 and stealing Gretzky from Edmonton.

    Maybe they will start talking of the impending alien, from outer space, invasion and the lizard people living among us.

    Denver Airport conspiracies anyone? I hears the aliens has them a bunker underneath for when the New World Order takes over if the Illuminati and Masons ever decide to quit doing pancake breakfasts and start WWIII

    I noticed but only bc I'm hoping to hitch a ride out of here. Go see some new places, meet new people? Just generally get out and let the universe or inhabitants of just how woke we are here on Earth.

    Don't panic or so the book says and such.

    Btw side note, I bought a new rifle scope and the illumination knob goes up to 11, so yeah its brighter than others bc it goes up to 11..

    Good luck mansplaining the concepts of safe spaces and gender fluidity to a bunch of extraterrestrials.

    Let's fire up a QAnon thread. That should keep us busy for awhile.

    The quarentine was just to fatten us up for the aliens. The UFO vids were already released too!
