V.Arnold:. It is simply the power of compounding!
The only variables are the timing between compounding (i.e. the time interval between catching the virus and becoming infectious) and how many people you infect.
With 400 million Chinese traveling this week, what better conditions could you ask for to spread this virus far and wide?
Raul:. China’s health care system reflects it’s ridgid communist past. The communists promised free health care for all.
However implementing such a massive and “expensive” scheme suddenly required training new health care workers.
The only way to produce the required number of needed health care workers and “keep costs down” was to reduce the standards of what was called a doctor! The same for nurses! Pay was kept at levels similar to average workers!
The fallicy of this system is self evident! Why would any bright person to go to all the trouble of working extra hard in school to excell, then take on more years of schooling just to be a lowly paid doctor?
Now let this disfunctional system fester for 7 decades and what do you think you get? A functioning system?
I worked for 6 months in a Siberian coal mine back in 1983.
A co-worker and room mate, Ken, suddenly developed accute appendicitus and was operated upon that very night. Everything went fine according to Ken, an experienced 3rd world traveler. They gave him the best of what they had.
However the regional health authority, not trusting the locals, none-the-less sent out one of their doctors to check up on Ken to make sure everything was O.K. I remember Ken joking about this!
This illustrates a key point. Even the real good Russian doctors did not think very highly of their community health care doctors!
I suspect many of China’s so called comminity doctors are not trained to the level of what we call nurses. Their best doctors all reside in the big cities just like our doctors do!
One of the take a ways I learned about communists, is they do not like anyone rocking their boat! Trust me I rocked their boat many times!
Who knew that you could create so much oil out of thin air?
Merely moving the decimal point to the right is all the effort that was required!
The Fed knew!
Bosco::. Nice picture of puppets! Looks like maybe Jimmy or Clark?
As for Trump appearing, I believe Obama paved the way with his “Change You Can Believe In” slogan. He failed to deliver any change except to further insitutionalize the corruption, a Chicago style!
Obama was the critical ingredient. Without Obama there could never have been a Trump.
So voters voted for Trump, a disruptor! The status quo is being burnt to the ground daily as we speak!
Now voters have “Change They Can Believe In”, New York style!
Bosco:. You bring up a good point about the kids!
Dam if I can get my kids or my wife to turn off any lights! They seem to think they exist only to be turned on!
Now about recycling! I get shit from my entire family because I won’t throw out good stuff! A button falls off a shirt! No, it is too much trouble to sew on a new button! It is so much easier to just go out and buy a new shirt!
Look I can turn this still good stuff into other useful good stuff! No, No. We can’t have this shit around my house! It clutters up the house and collects dust!
What is wrong with turning my neighbor’s broken Ikea furniture into new furniture or a shelf? And turning my neighbor’s dead battery lawn mower into a regular electric lawn mower? Replacing my neighbor’s burnt out weed whacker motor with another’s used motor? And about that chain saw?
However, I can not hold a candle to what my parents did! Both were children of the depression. Nothing went to waste! I pale in comparison to them!
So as each succeeding generation arrives, they seem to become ever more wasteful!
Maybe this climate shit is just a way to soothe everyone’s feelings about the throw-away world we now live in!
Greta, as Lenin said, is a “useful idiot”!
Now about green solar panels. Adult solar panels don’t produce enough energy to produce baby solar panels! And if they somehow did manage to produce a baby solar panel, the baby would die anyway, not able to produce enough energy to live. Besides the parent solar panels would die before being able to raise their baby!
About those green wind turbines. Adult wind turbines don’t produce enough energy to produce baby wind turbines! And if they somehow did manage to produce a baby wind turbine, the baby would be born still born! It is just as well because, by that time, the parent wind turbines would be in the local landfill anyways.
You see, green energy takes more energy to produce, than it can ever produce! This is of course not sustainable! That is why it needs to be publically subsidized by the poor so the rich can get richer!
Oh, yes, you are wondering about the life expectancy of green energy! Short! Actually very short!
On a side note, last week my 23 year old son, a wind turbine technician, said all of the wind turbines were shutdown last week due to the freezing rain on the blades and towers. They can not go near them because of the risk of falling ice. I don’t expect they will be running this week either. We will have to wait for a warm sunny spell above freezing to melt the ice. It is January, when the sun never shines.
Those green wind turbine blades do not last forever but need to be periodically replaced (7 years ?) and sent to the landfill. Same for the old green solar panels. You were born to die! Offer to the dump you go!
It is a very good thing, for the social good, that green energy doesn’t have to produce and raise offspring!
Greta, did I forget to tell you that you are a total idiot? Lenin was too kind.
Yup! Trust the plan! Justice is coming! Any day now!
I also have 100 acres of consolidated moose pasture (deep swamp) for sale if you want to save the world!
Oh, by the way Greta, my daughter wants to know how you can afford to travel, first class, all over the world while she can’t?
Yes, Greta, how nice that daddy and the UN are even writing all your social comments for you! I guess being a totally “useful idiot” does have it’s advantages! Lenin would so love you!
Also very nice to be able to travel on an unlimited UN environmental expense account!
Don’t worry, I won’t spoil it for you by telling my daughter how you can afford to trave!l and why she can’t!
Nice picture of real people!
Reality is being in a Tesla, on auto pilot, as it races to bang the rear of a sexy parked red fire truck!
After reading all the above comments, I get it!
The world is going to hell, or the world is already in hell!
Cave men also thought the world was hell too! Fears of sabre tooth tigers comes to mind!
The American deep state is currently in shock that President Trump just blew their joint money laundromat with Iran all to pieces!
They are deeply upset that President Trump blew Obama’s little “understanding with Iran” all to hell!
They are even more upset about President Trump not tipping them off before hand!
The deep state started this mess in the ME. President Trump is just finishing it for them! But just not in the manner that they had expected!
The deep staters should have let the President play golf over the holidays instead of stirring the pot in the ME!
The deep state has forgotten President Trump has had military training!
Dr. D:. Your comment about Mark Carney and “straight up Soviet Central Planning” brings back a umemory of a hilarious interview with the Director of Soviet Central Planning!
After the usual glorious BS from the Director, he invites the camera to walk with him into the department where central planning actually takes place. The camera then follows the Director into a room full of desks but no people! The Director then says maybe they are all attending a meeting that nobody told me about!
Yes I saw first hand how well central planning worked during my 6 months of working in a Siberian coal mine back in 1983!
Since there was plenty of toilet paper in Moscow, there had to be plenty in Siberia too!
When available, the quality of Russian toilet paper, is what put the Russian soldiers in the fighting mood to defeat the Germans in WW2!
Well as for being the “best-educated Constitutional Scholar” president, Obama sure went out of his way to distain and disrepect the said Canonnstitution.
As the world turns, the said Constitution is slowly but surely putting Obama in it’s cross hairs.
The Constitution already has put Obama’s crowning glory, the demise of Obamacare in it’s sights over severability.
The said Constitution may yet put Obama himself, in it cross hairs.
Obama may finally learn respect for the Constitution, something he forgot to learn while at Harvard.
Ims:. I am surprised that you don’t think jobs are very important to people. Most people like to have jobs.
You sound just like all those communists I met in Siberia back in 1983! That place was a hell hole!
I would be only too happy to give you the address so you can move there!
O.K. about this global warming thingy.
I live in cold Canada.
I have been waiting for global warming to arrive for over 40 years now.
Look, I am getting bloody tired of waiting for global warming to arrive.
I want global warming now!
Australia has always been either too dry or too wet. Canada has always been either too dry or too wet too.
Australia has always been too hot. Canada has always been too cold. Care to swap?
Global warming isn’t warming Australia up. Global warming has repeatedly failed to warm Canada up.
Australia is on fire. Canada is on fire too. Guess who’s fires are bigger?
Australia is being flooded. Canada is being flooded too. Guess who’s floods are bigger?
Australia is being flooded with legal immigrants. Canada is being flooded with illegal immigrants. Guess who’s floods of immigrants are bigger than?
Australian PM picking politically incorrect vacation spots just like Canada’s PM, Trudope! Except Canadian taxpayer’s have to pick up the tab.
Australia’s PM, is polite to other world leaders. Canada’s PM, Trudope has successfully insulted every world leader he has ever met!
Australian toilets flush down the drain clockwise. Canadian toilets flush down the drain counter-clockwise.
Still care to swap?
Dr. D Rich & Dr. D:
I read both of your comments concerning Admiral Rogers.
Dr. D your comment, I have had to re-read multiple times to try and fathom your meaning(s). You ask many good thought provoking questions.
Dr. D Rich your comment seems clear. Rogers was a classmate. The good Admiral Rogers isn’t so good!
However, I am not convinced Dr. D is saying that the good Admiral Rogers is necessarily so hot either! He seems to have ended his comments asking some good questions that remain unanswered! I suspect if truthful answers could be obtained, they might not shine favorable on the good Admiral Rogers.
However both of you have furthered my understanding of the complex role played by Admiral Rogers in the deep state’s coup attempt against President Trump. Sadly for JFK, his own party voted to permanently fire him.
I must confess, I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night. So that is not a good sign!
I must also confess to working in a Siberian coal mine for 6 months back in 1983. Sadly, I never got to experience the affections of any Russian honey pots. My one regret.
Obviously my mission to save communism was a total failure! Maybe that was the real goal of my mission? So yes, there are likely some rather thick files on me!
Oh yes! Merry Christmas to you both!
Zerosum:. Money laundering is perfectly legal when done by members of Congress and their family and friends.
The same for lobbying fees and insider trading. Congress passed laws making all this stuff perfectly legal.
So, not sure what the big deal is.
Dr. D:. What is the endgame for impeachment?
Simple: Destroy Donald Trump!
The impeachment’s immediate endgame is to support the Dems 3 court cases before Fed courts.
As for the two reasons given for impeaching, the legal reason is to provide support for the three Fed court cases to obtain (1) Trump’s tax records before he became President (fishing for evidence), (2) forcing the President’s White House lawyer to testify, and (3) obtaining Mueller’s grand jury documents (Dems already have this evidence via Mueller’ Lawfare gang but need to re-acquire it legally to use).
The Dems have convicted the President on 2nd or 3rd hand hearsay, but now need to find/make up new evidence.
Case (1) is now before SCOTUS
Case (2) is currently before Fed appeal court (Obama judge). 90% chance goes to SCOTUS.
Case (3) is currently before Fed court (Obama judge). 90% chance goes to SCOTUSThese three cases are Lawfare’s attempts to bypass the US Constitution and create new laws.
The two articles put forth in the impeachment, are designed to reinforce the legal arguments being put before the courts for the three cases. Note all the other articles of impeach were dropped but these two!
All three cases are legally very weak. Lawfare has been winning these cases in DC Fed/Fed Appeal courts under biased Obama judges using judge shopping.
Per a retired Harvard lawyer, the President’s chances of winning at SCOTUS are very high due to Lawfare lawyers trying to back date these weak legal cases. Each case has at least one fatal flaw in its construct.
The requests for (1) Trump’s tax returns before he was President and (3) Mueller’s grand jury information are particularly weak.
The impeachment article claiming Obstruction of Congress is very weak because the house alone is not Congress. Second the wrong house committee was used not the house Justice committee (i.e. fatal).
If the President wins any two of these three cases likely the impeachment articles get the legal rug pulled out from under them.
Note that the Mueller grand jury information focuses on Russian collusion not the Ukraine which the Impeachment focuses on. The reason the Dems want this information is so they can leak it during 2020 election to try and hurt the President.
Typical communist activity to destroy your opponents by any means possible. Just like communist taking over a village. First thing they do is kill everyone in a position of authority, like majors, police, judge’s, City officials, etc. so there is no structure left in place.
Also Need to know the Dem Party has been hijacked by its extreme left wing enabling Lawfare to take over. That is why many moderate Dems are walking away. This is not their parent’s Dem party anymore.
Hope this helps.
Zerosum:. Regarding Trudope, he is 100% bought and paid for by China. Check his Family Trust for the payments./s
How do I know this? Simple during the early US/Cdn trade discussions President Trump wanted to increase the North American (US/Cdn/Mexican) content in automobiles.
Guess what Trudope wanted to do? He wanted to greatly reduce the North American content of automobiles so more Chinese made parts could be used!
That is why President Trump simply bypassed Canada and negotiated with Mexico instead! After an agreement was reached, Mexico informed Trudope that they were about to sign the new agreement, in less than 3 days, with the US but without Canada being a party to it.
In a panic, Trudope was forced to sign the agreement in less than 48 hours. The agreed terms were those agreed to by the US and Mexico! Canada had virtually no input of the terms of the trade agreement!
What kind of idiot negotiates like this! Only someone controlled by China!
Trudope doesn’t give a dam about the 2 Canadian detained in China!
But this certainly reveals China’s true character.
This is what you get when communists hijacked the Democratic party. Their goal is to destroy the existing order so they can seize power. Lenin and Stalin would be proud.
They hate the fact President Trump is standing in their way of seizing power from the American people. They hate that their efforts to disarm the American people is being blunted.
Their hatred of free people justifies their efforts to imprison the American people.
Their hatred justifies attacking and destroying everyone with different beliefs than their own.
Their hatred justifies destroying all institutions of a civilized society.
Their hatred blinds them to reality.
Their hatred requires them to ignore certain inconvenient truths.
Their hatred justifies their behavior.
Their hatred justifies killing all their perceived opponents.
Their hatred justifies all they do.Rafal Granowicz: A Polish mercenary. Was asked what it was like to take human life? “I wouldn’t know, I have only killed communists.”
Raul:. Your Ukraine money laundering graph is 100% correct!
The only thing wrong with the graph, is it does not show the billions of other dollars laundered to the rest of the political elites in the US, both Republican and Democrats.
As for galore above, he has to work very hard at wilfully not knowing inconvient facts!
I hope nobody is expecting justice to occur for those exposed in the deep states coup of President Trump.
With the appointment of AG Barr, the deep state’s Gang of 8 has ensured no one will be held accountable.
Now we are told by Barr to expect a report from Durham by next summer! That means no indictments!
See how that works!
I once lived in northern Labrador. My Father was a mining engineer working in the iron ore mines there.
One day he was called to the pit. A shovel operator had uncovered a large amount of petrified wood.
It was from tropical trees and plants. I remember as a kid spraying shelack on the samples in my Father’s office so they wouldn’t dry out. One sample was a very pretty fern leaf.
Winter lasts 9 months there. It is just south of the tree line.
And to think at one time it was a tropical paradise!
It is very interesting how the global warming crowd conveniently ignores the history of the earth stored in it’s rocks. As my Father always said. The earth has warmed and cooled millions of times in it’s billion year plus history!
Some towns in northern Canada, like Churchill, require everyone to leave their front doors unlocked just in case someone suddenly needs a place to escape into upon seeing a polar bear walking down the street!
I see Britain’s Labour party is reaping their just reward for trying to sell more communism to Brits.
In 198, I got to see communism first hand while working in a Siberian coal mine.
All I saw everywhere was the total lack of hope for the future. All their energy went towards surviving. They couldn’t talk to me but I could clearly see it in their eyes before they looked away.
Everyone was too busy drinking, so they could at least temporarily escape from the reality of their worker’s paradise!
My construction crew were always under the influence. I would watch my crew as they flowed off the steps of their business to see what kind of day I was going to have. The sobriety test for my crane operator was, could he crawl up upon the crawler and into the driver’s seat. If he couldn’t, we directed him to a nearby wooden crate to sleep.
These were ordinary people just like you and me. Good solid people.
Their mistake was being born into a country with a corrupt system that no matter what they did made them all look bad. It was a system designed to make good people fail!
Nobody deserves this kind of fate.
I was quite happy to leave that hell hole!
I am also very pleased that my efforts to help save such a miserable system from itself was an utter failure!
Raul: When I read Warren’s statements, this what I read.
I, Warren, as president, will faithfully restore all the corrupt foreign practices of the State Dept to ensure all members of Congress receive their fair share of all taxpayer money sent overseas as foreign aid that President Trump has so rudely been trying to cut.
Any questions?
Very interesting comment by ex-FBI Jeff Cortese. Lone Wolf jury members refusing to convict anyone investigated by FBI even if defendant is guilty!
I have read many people saying that if they were on a jury they would not convict based upon FBI evidence either, because they no longer trust the FBI. I had always taken these statements with a grain of salt. But I guess some little people really does have principles! My! My!
A little judge storyline.
My late Father was on a jury. The defense and prosecutor both agreed that the defendant had killed the victim. The jury was to decide whether it was 2nd degree or manslaughter. A simple verdict to reach.
The trial started Monday. Tuesday the judge causually mentioned he was planning on going fishing on the weekend. The trial wrapped up Thursday morning.
Instead of the jury starting deliberations after lunch, the judge dismissed the jury for the rest of the day. The jury would begin deliberations Friday morning instead.
This royally pissed my Father off as he didn’t appreciate his valuable time being wasted! An engineer by profession, he didn’t suffer fools very well!
All day Friday, my Father hung the jury! Friday evening the hung jury was dismissed until Saturday morning!
At 9:05 AM Saturday the jury promptly convicted the defendant of the lessor charge of manslaughter!
The judge did not get to leave early Friday morning to go fishing! In fact he didn’t go fishing at all!
As a retiree, what has been happening to me is a direct result of the actions of these central bankers.
Nothing in my life’s experiences, could ever have prepared me for what has happened since 2008.
Before 2008, if you had mentioned negative interest rates, I would have said you were “NUTS!”
Well savings now produce no income because central bankers have made the value of savings worthless.
So I have had no choice but eat what is left of my savings to survive.
I stopped investing over 10 years ago because the markets are dead.
Without price discovery, there are no longer any reference horizons to tell you where you really are.
So I hold the only thing left that is worth holding.
I sure hope you weren’t expecting I would create a job for you with my life’s savings.
I can’t, even if I wanted too. I am too busy just trying to survive, to worry about you.
You are completely on your own.
You may get to work but you will not be allowed to save for your future.
At least I had the illusion, while working, that I could save for my future.
I had the power of positive compounding working for me, for a little while.
You have the power of negative compounding working against you.
The more you try to save, the more you loose.
You face an uncertain future because you can’t easily save.
Sadly, I don’t envy your situation in life.
II have a young son and daughter just entering the work force.
They are in the same boat as you are. I am very unsure what is the right path for them to follow.
Yes, I have lived in a place mostly devoid of hope for the future.
That place was Siberia in 1983. I sincerely hope you can avoid living in a place like that.
I hope you can figure this out. Good luck!
It is interesting who is spinning the latest leak from Horowitz report due out December 9th. This particular leak is by the Washington Post. So who leaks via the Washington Post? Why yes, the CIA!
Your leaking guide:
(CIA = Washington Post)
(FBI = New York Times)
(State Dept = CNN)Nice CIA twist!
So Horowitz who is IG for Department of Justice and can only investigate DoJ employees is somehow supposed to be in disagreement with AG Barr because he isn’t investigating the CIA? Really? Not his job!
I guess it doesn’t really matter because most people are too stupid to notice this slight twist!
So I wonder who’s turn to leak is up next, to shape the narative? State Dept. or the FBI?
For better word ecomony, are you saying the trapped Carbon in a gallon of gas, escapes when burnt in a gasoline engine by catching a free ride with Oxygen, until both are captured by a tree, and then the Carbon is re-trapped as wood, thus setting Oxygen free again?
President Trump recently said he had caught the swamp. Also he keeps saying his call to the President of the Ukariane was “perfect”. Why would he keep saying that over and over again?
Then he releases the second phone call transcripts.
Now he is going to release the first phone call transcripts by end of this week.
Nancy has been rather quiet lately.
Do you think President Trump might have set up a sting?
Maybe Vindman, a useful idiot, is feeling that he has been setup and used by someone smarter than himself?
Is Nancy leaving Schiff holding the bag?
Canada is a cold country. We could use some global warming here. I have been waiting for over six decades for it to warm up!
Quite frankly I am getting dam tired of waiting! I want it to warm up now! Not tomorrow! Tomorrow may never come!
Now, I have done more than my fair share to create global warming! I helped the cause by working in coal mines on every continent in the world to greatly increase coal production.
Now in my old age, I want the global warming folks to begin delivering on their promises that Canada will warm up!
I am getting rather cold waiting!
Just a comment if I may about Miss Lindsey Graham’s and Miss Mitch McConnell’s desire that a SC be appointed to investigate ……. nothing.
Many are not aware of the legal construct of SC. It is really a very brilliant set-up to ensure no one, who remains a member in good standing of the swamp’s Uniparty, ever gets legally prosecuted.
The construct of a SC and it’s time tested result, allows the swamp’s congressional critters to confidently stand in front of a TV cameria and publically appear to be tough on crime, while knowing full well the opposite will occur.
The only goal of this SC game is to publicaly score browny points against the opposing party! Never mind the inconvenient turth that the Democrats and Republicans are two faces of the same party! Or the inconvenient part that they cooperate in the backroom, away from sunlight. This is how the Uniparty works. It is a fake two party system. That is why frustrated American voters get the same result no matter which party they vote for! 1984 was invented long before 1984!
The strange part of appointing a SC, is that not one in million Americans has ever caught on to Congress’s SC scam! The SC is congress’s endless wash, rinse, & repeat game! If you are a politician it is a fun game!
So what Miss Lindsey and Miss Mitch are really saying is they do want any of their Uniparty swamp friends to be harmed!
