Oso planning to go pro
If you start giving away all your stuff, can i have your condo?
What is the pathway out of this?
So you would rather take a drug in trials that has ZERO long term data as far as efficacy or side effects, than a drug like Hydroxy that has been around for decades?Seems to be a much riskier proposition, but to each their own.
From the NYT:Corporate leaders are increasingly announcing donations or taking pay cuts to help respond to the pandemic — and, quite probably, to keep the political heat off.Jack Dorsey plans to donate $1 billion of his holdings in Square, or a third of his net worth, to coronavirus relief programs. The L.L.C. he is founding with the money will track its expenditure publicly via this Google Doc. It was the single biggest gift announced by a business leader thus far, but only the latest in a growing list:• Jeff Bezos and the foundations of Michael Dell and of Bill Gates have each pledged $100 million to causes like food banks and vaccine development efforts.• Michael Bloomberg’s philanthropic organization is spending $40 million on rapid-response teams, with a focus on Africa.• In the finance world, Leon Black of Apollo has pledged $20 million to provide New York City health care workers with food and supplies, while Ken Griffin and other executives at Citadel have promised $15 million for vaccines and treatments.Other chiefs are taking pay cuts. A variety of industry figures — such as Oscar Munoz of United Airlines, Arne Sorenson of Marriott, Bob Iger of Disney and Jes Staley of Barclays — are forgoing part of their pay. As top executives learned during the 2008 financial crisis, continuing to earn big bucks while workers take salary cuts or furloughs is a sure way to draw harsh scrutiny.
Dorsey ($ 1billion) is donating 28% of his net worth. He is 168 on the Forbes 400 list. Postpandemic money will go to the girl's health and education, and UBI. All of it will be transparent.
I saw this yesterday. Interesting placement of the apostrophe.
It was a typo because the sentence was originally typed in a different way to say the education and health of girls. It has been fixed. Jack Dorsey is donating $1 billion, or 28% of his net worth to COVID-19, and the health and education of girls, and UBI.
Oh, I'm aware...the typo was actually in Dorsey's original tweet and I noticed it yesterday. I just thought it was kind of an amusing typo. I figured he was probably donating it to that girl who got the Zoom Hamilton performance...she's had a good week.
I suppose I'm more focused on the content of what he is doing, ... a multi billionaire donating 28% of his wealth now, today, to help those specific causes of COVID-19, as well as education and health of girls and UBI. Hopefully we will see more of it elsewhere.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/08/politics/us-intelligence-report-china-coronavirus/index.htmlThis report is weird if true. It would suggest at the time of the first known case of COVID-19, that US intelligence was aware of this disease and warned the Trump administration of the risks. If true, how did we know?And, why weren't we on the phone with China right away, trying to strategize how to trace and deal with this with teams of experts?And given that the reports to the President referred to it as "cataclysmic" risk. Why were we so late on doing something.
Lastly, concurrent to all of this happening, the President was being impeached. Our entire congressional and executive branch were wrapped up in those proceedings.
Lastly, concurrent to all of this happening, the President was being impeached. Our entire congressional and executive branch were wrapped up in those proceedings. Let's not forget, Trump was quickly called "racist" and "xenophobilc," for issuing the China travel ban. Can't have it both ways - can't criticize and rip that decision, and then argue he didn't act soon enough.

400 NYC COVID deaths vs 727 yesterday. Even more very encouraging news out of the epicenter
Let's put to bed the patently false claim that the Republicans concocted Trump was just too busy getting Impeached to deal with the coronavirus and therefore it was Congressional Democrats faults:Jan 8th - First CDC warningJan 9th - Trump campaign rallyJan 14th - Trump campaign rallyJan 18th - Trump golfsJan 19th - Trump golfsJan 20th - first case of corona virus in the US, Washington State.Jan 22nd - “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”Jan 28th - Trump campaign rallyJan 30th - Trump campaign rallyFeb 1st - Trump golfsFeb 2nd - “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China."Feb 10th - Trump campaign rallyFeb 15h - Trump golfsFeb 19th - Trump campaign rallyFeb 20th - Trump campaign rallyFeb 21st - Trump campaign rallyIn addition to Trump's activities putting the lie to the idea that he was too busy, for this excuse to work you'd have to admit that the President of the U.S. is incapable of handling more than one issue at a time. But of course since he has told us he is "like, really smart" and has the biggest brain, this can't possibly be the case.
