    Biden has decided to fill many of the key economic advisory spots with female staffers, all close to either Obama or Hillary Clinton.

    The 277 Policies for Which Biden Need Not Ask Permission
    As president, Joe Biden could take action on hundreds of policies without having to go through Congress. The Biden-Sanders unity task force provides a road map.

    BY MAX MORAN JULY 28, 2020
    FAST FACTS:
    We found 277 policies that can be enacted through executive branch powers in the Biden-Sanders unity task force document.
    48 of the policies, or 17 percent, are rollbacks of Trump-era policy changes.
    Immigration (78 policies), Climate Change (54 policies), and the Economy (54 policies) have the most potential executive actions.
    This story is part of the Prospect’s series on how the next president can make progress without new legislation. Read all of our Day One Agenda articles here.
    If Biden is inaugurated, then by his first hundred days, we should expect him to have made significant progress on many, if not all, of these proposals. Those which he does not adopt and pursue vigorously will speak to his nature as a president.
    In fact, 48 are simply calls to roll back Trump-era policies, or to reinstate Obama-era rules and committees that Trump ended or disbanded. Any remotely competent Democrat ought to be able to implement these immediately, no matter what their particular policy vision.

    ‘Bleak Milestone’: More Than 100,000 Nursing Home Residents and Staff Killed by Pandemic
    Forty percent of all Covid-19 deaths in the United States have occurred in long-term care facilities.
    by Kenny Stancil, staff writer

    “While early action to prevent the spread of coronavirus in long-term care facilities led to strict protocols related to testing, personal protective equipment, and visitor restrictions,” KFF pointed out that “several of these measures have been reversed in recent months, and some long-term care facilities continue to report shortages of PPE and staff.”
    According to physician and public health expert Michael Barnett, 7.7% of the nation’s nursing home residents, or one in 13, have now died as a result of Covid-19. “Things have never really gotten better,” he tweeted. “Testing is a struggle, PPE and staff are daily challenges.”

    I’ve got to repost my questions
    —–
    Will a vaccine reduces serious infections and/or death?

    1. Should everyone take the vaccine for covid19?
    2. Should a person take the covid19 test before getting the covid19 vaccine?
    3. Should a person take the vaccine after getting covid19?
    4. Should a person take the vaccine after getting covid19 after being admitted in the hospital?
    5. Should a person who is over 65 yrs old, who have other issues, (high blood pressure, diabetic, over weight, immune system compromised, etc.) take the vaccine?
    6. Should a person who is in a care home take the vaccine?

    If you answer yes to the above questions, you are wasting your money and endangering your health.
    ——
    Better than a vaccine?
    Recommendation for everyone over 65 who are afraid to die and are richer than me?
    1. Spend your savings to enjoy life
    2. Go south to get your vitamin D from the sunshine
    3. Eat a great non-fattening diet to get your Zinc
    4. Don’t use cheap care workers. Use a live-in nurse
    5. If you lost your partner, Don’t forget that when you are retired, soul mates are attracted by the color of gold not your sexy body
    6. Travel in your own plane with only your entourage.
    7. Continue to avoid the rif-raf
    8. Keep doing virtual meetings and avoid creating demonstrations by any opponents ( Four geoeconomic summits compressed in one week tell the story of where we stand in these supremely dystopian times… The (virtual) signing of RCEP in Vietnam was followed by the equally virtual BRICS meeting hosted by Moscow, the APEC meeting hosted by Malaysia, and the G20 this past weekend hosted by Saudi Arabia.)

    Who paid for the advertising?

    Google, ~80% of its revenue through ads.

    Facebook, over 98% of its revenue derives from advertising.

    That’s how capitalism works. Transferring the cost to you by hidden, shadowy mechanism.

    I believe that covid19 was around before test were around to identify why people were getting sick and dying. China should be given thanks for doing the work and telling us about the danger of covid19.

    By Jop de VriezeNov. 18, 2020

    the number of genetically proven reinfections is orders of magnitude lower than that of suspected reinfections. The Netherlands alone has 50 such cases, Brazil 95, Sweden 150, Mexico 285, and Qatar at least 243.

    Each vaccine aims to use a slightly different approach to prepare your immune system to recognize and fight SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

    However, we can group these technologies into five main types. Some technology is tried and trusted. Some technology has never before been used in a commercial vaccine for humans.
    1. DNA/RNA-based
    2. Virus vectors
    3. Inactivated
    4. Live-attenuated virus

    With COVID Aid Set To Expire By Year-End, Many US Citizens Face Their Own “Fiscal Cliff”

    For example, Bloomberg notes that 12 million people are facing a late-December cutoff from the end of two federal unemployment-insurance programs. Additionally, student loan payments will no longer be frozen and mortgage forbearance, along with eviction moratoriums, will also expire. On top of that, the Fed’s lending facilities for small businesses and local governments will also dry up.
    An estimated 7.3 million workers will see their Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits expire on December 26, and 945,000 will run out of PUA before December.
    An estimated 4.6 million workers will see their PEUC benefits prematurely expire on December 26. There is some hope that Covid relief could come as part of a spending bill needed to avoid a government shutdown, but with most of congress adjourned – and the rest deadlocked – hopes for getting a deal done in 2020 seem dim.

    After the mainstream press accused the Trump Administration of trying to “sabotage” the Biden Administration by closing out a handful of Fed lending programs that were seeded with money from the Treasury earlier this year, Secretary Mnuchin appeared on CNBC Friday morning for a lengthy phone interview with Jim Cramer. Mnuchin requested the expiration of the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Municipal Lending Facility, the Main Street Lending Program, and the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility by December 31. At the same time, he wants the Commercial Paper Funding Facility, the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, and the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility be kept in place for an additional 90 days.

    What is coming is not what you want.- poverty, hunger, despair, sickness, etc.

    “Treasury Secretary Mnuchin upset the markets yesterday when he announced that a number of the Fed’s special lending facilities should be terminated by the end of the year.”
    ” … the urgency of a new fiscal stimulus package, “unfortunately, Congress goes on vacation next week. Probably tired from doing nothing the past six months, at least when measured in terms of providing additional fiscal stimulus. On top of that, the Treasury Secretary wants his money back from the Fed.”

    In this context of slowing growth, Mnuchin requested the expiration of the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Municipal Lending Facility, the Main Street Lending Program, and the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility by December 31.
    At the same time, he wants the Commercial Paper Funding Facility, the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, and the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility be kept in place for an additional 90 days. (Close to 20 Jan2021)
    Moreover, she adds, terminating the programs on Dec. 31 means they may be tougher to restart under the new Biden Administration 20 days later. New funds will need Congressional authorization, though JPMorgan’s Mike Feroli said the incoming Treasury Secretary could agree to restart the facilities with pre-CARES Act cash available in the department’s Exchange Stabilization Fund, which he puts at just over $70 billion.

    Humans are colonized by many microorganisms; the traditional estimate is that the average human body is inhabited by ten times as many non-human cells as human cells, but more recent studies estimate that ratio as 3:1 or even 1:1.

    @ John Day
    Agree
    What you said is what I was going to say but didn’t know how to say it. 🙂
    Changing the existing systems is very hard to do for the very reasons that you outlined.
    Also, as you noted, creating a new system that will last multi generational is even harder.
    Creating a new system that is satisfactory for those that have the most to loose will only be achieved if they think that they will have the most to gain.
    Heh, you said that too.
    Success depends on secrets and lies.

    Tories put lack of action on Huawei, China in crosshairs with new motion


    Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole spoke ahead of the debate on his party’s motion, which calls for MPs to demand that the government table a decision on whether to allow Huawei to participate in the country’s 5G network as well as a plan for how they will counter Chinese influence in Canada.

    (Bloomberg) — The world is awash with too much savings and central banks don’t have the tools on their own to combat the economic stagnation that’s a result.

    That was one of the conclusions of a high-powered panel at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Monday that included former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and ex-U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers.

    I’ll give my opinion.

    They are lying. Here is the real problem.

    Banks have already spent the saving of people. Its gone. Therefore, if people want to get their savings, the banks cannot give it to the savers without printing more money.
    That is the same problem with all the pension plans. The money is gone. All pension are now paid out from printed money.
    Do you really think that the pension money was invested and producing a return on investment high enough to keep up with your pension income?

    Don’t Blame Covid: The Economy is Imploding from Over-Capacity and Corrupt Cartels
    The way forward is obvious: stop the Fed from blowing ever-larger bubbles and eliminate cartels and monopolies. But that will require ending the absurd farce of pay-to-play “democracy” that enables the debt / asset bubbles and cartels / monopolies.

    Thousands of cars lined up to collect food in Dallas, Texas, over the weekend, stretching as far as the eye can see.

    What about the people who don’t even have a car to get to a food bank. I feel like it’s pretty short-sighted to criticize hungry people for having a means to get food. How many of those folks in line are adding the fear of having their cars repossessed to their list of worries

    ” …. but what do you *think*? I’m all ears.”

    1. I don’t think that anyone has changed/been convinced to change their opinions because of anything that I have said.

    2. I think that TAE helps me see the elephant.

    3. I think that Mother Earth created people to be an intelligent (?), producing factory to improve the spreading of microscopic life.

    Enjoy

    1. Vaccine or drug side effects are not *side* effects. Like a side of fries or a side of coleslaw. They are DIRECT effects of said vaccine/drug.

    2. But we love our euphemisms, don’t we? Despite most of them being nothing other than fraud. Verbal con jobs.

    3. When you die you’ve only departed, lost your battle or passed away. In excruciating pain, your doctor will ask you if you’re experiencing discomfort.

    4. A lockdown is now a firebreak (Wales), circuit breaker (UK), rollback (Texas), or a dimmer switch (from one of the docs in Biden’s Covid task force).

    5. Go against the prevailing political narrative and your outright censorship will be labelled as violation of community standards or violation of terms of service.

    6. Debt creation is termed quantitative easing or stimulus.

    7. The deliberate and systematic destruction of our economy and a decent standard of living goes by the name of the Great Reset/Green New Deal and Build it Back Better. Riiight. As if we’ll see any ACTUAL building in this wreckage of a western civilization.

    8. Lies are bad enough. But you can easily spot and fight most lies. Euphemisms, on the other hand, are extremely insidious and much more dangerous. Euphemisms are the trained Judas goats calmly leading you to slaughter.
