Shit. Here's hoping it doesn't become bad. :pray:
March 22, 2020 at 21:09
Case numbers for the Netherlands are meaningless. They only test hospital employees and hospital patients.
March 22, 2020 at 08:20
The Dutch are not sufficiently sticking to the social distancing rules so I expect a lock down soon enough. A shame people don't take it seriously eno...
March 22, 2020 at 06:34
No, that's just arrogance.
March 21, 2020 at 14:35
Btw, I have no clue how we're avoiding lock down in the Netherlands.
March 21, 2020 at 09:47
I sincerely doubt it but we'll never know. It's just interesting to me that approaches are discussed in terms of economics and its long term effects. ...
March 21, 2020 at 09:43
Yes, I'm sure his work is bad but I guess my point was that even if he was right it still didn't matter. So the whole discussion becomes a distraction...
March 21, 2020 at 09:39
The fatality rate is actually not even that important at the moment. It's the fact nobody has immunity and enough are sick enough that they require ho...
March 21, 2020 at 09:08
Disinformation isn't optimism. Optimism sounds like this: Things look bad, but I'm convinced we'll get together as a country and take care of each oth...
March 21, 2020 at 08:03
LOL.
March 20, 2020 at 21:26
Outdated model. They've been pumping money into the economy for years. It doesn't necessarily mean inflation as people actually started to save more. ...

If you mention this one, why not also include the law of identity and the law of the excluded middle? If not, why not?
March 20, 2020 at 13:09
except the lancet article clearly states this was already done on January 2. I'll trust the peer reviewed journal specialised in medicine thank you. E...
March 19, 2020 at 22:26
First, that's article was written by someone from the Brookings Institute which is just establishment shit as usual. https://www.thelancet.com/journal...

If that's his excuse then the Chinese claiming it was the US was entirely fine in reaction to Tom Cotton's bullshit from January 30.
March 19, 2020 at 21:09
I'm not blaming anyone. I'm informing you they tried it the last time a virus jumped from animals to humans in China. It didn't work. So next time you...
March 19, 2020 at 21:06
Yeah, funny how all the right wing newspapers in the US wrote these stories yet not a single European newspaper of note wrote anything about it. As us...
March 19, 2020 at 21:04
That was right after a certain American member of the US government claimed it was manufactured by the Chinese. Tit for tat, methinks. Just stupid pol...
March 19, 2020 at 20:29
They tried. It went underground. So much for that great idea.
March 19, 2020 at 20:26
You mistake local government action to not look bad in the eyes of the Party with a policy by the Party to cover it up.

Chinese doctors are advising European doctors and sharing test results. The Chinese are donating face masks to Italy and the Netherlands that I know o...

It's old news so I didn't take any notice. This was reported in the news a month ago. Google translate this: Chloroquine
March 19, 2020 at 19:13
It's not a flu. Different strain of virus. But I suppose your job demands you to parrot Trump.
March 19, 2020 at 17:39
I'm pretty sure he meant intelligent.
March 18, 2020 at 19:12
There are plenty of tools available. The problem is that solutions are based on stochastic models for a global economy that is too complex to be caugh...

Why would he sell at a lower price than the at market price? But yes, depending on the stock exchange rules either the highest bid price will be the n...
March 17, 2020 at 09:32
Let's hope not. We had a pretty decent speech yesterday from the Prime Minister. The goal is maximum control so that our health system can cope. They ...
March 17, 2020 at 08:00
All sellers and buyers make a market. They all put in orders to buy or sell at a certain price. The price you see on the stock market is the last pric...

Tim, it is easier to arbitrage in a digital world because price information is more readily accessible. Shawn, arbitrage does nothing for bubbles. Bub...

1800+ as of yesterday. I can't find if there's a separate number for triage deaths though.

Tell every zombie ever.
March 16, 2020 at 07:02
So Whoopi is secretly a fan of Trump?
March 15, 2020 at 09:22
I get it. I can get tired of certain subjects as well. Cheers.
March 15, 2020 at 09:20
How?
March 15, 2020 at 09:14
Isn't that what Medicare did already? And you've noted it but I'm not sure what your ethical position is in it. From a pure numbers game, the greater ...

The modern welfare state was introduced, by and large, by religious conservatives in reaction to the growing power of unions and socialist parties who...
March 15, 2020 at 06:05
Oh boy. Here we go again. What liberal institutions are you talking about?
March 14, 2020 at 22:32
If people were used to voting based on policy, Hillary would've won. Your what-ifs don't relate to reality enough to be plausible I'm afraid.
March 14, 2020 at 08:46
I can't do anything about whether you trust it or not. However, I think it's quite clear it looks at averages so I'm not sure the reasons you offer re...

There's a psychological problem. There are Bernie voters, regardless, eg. Bernie or bust. But there are a lot of people not core supporters. They will...

this one.
March 14, 2020 at 05:55
A Trump win of course. Even so, that may result in an actual shift to the left in the Democratic Party, which in the long run could be good.
March 14, 2020 at 05:28
The investopedia link I sent does not paint such a black and white picture for Obamacare. It might be worth a read.
March 14, 2020 at 05:25
Damn. I should've asked this question pages ago because this fear I can understand, given the system you have.
March 14, 2020 at 00:16
Do you think the type of welfare State like the Netherlands is better or worse than the USA? And why? Feel free to shoot questions at me about aspects...
March 14, 2020 at 00:03
Close but no fish. You do recall I don't take you seriously don't you? If this is your trying to get under my skin, please try harder. Maybe some more...
March 14, 2020 at 00:01
Nice spin of what I actually didn't say and without the context. Remind me again how deep your tongue is in Trump's ass.
March 13, 2020 at 23:58
This is too rosy. They are also motivated to lobby. To externalise costs, cutting corners and basically arbitraging legal, tax and economic difference...
March 13, 2020 at 23:55
Yes, it's telling you that your "positive take" is propaganda and nobody here is falling for it.
