    My comments and opinions don’t change anything.
    I foresaw that the virus would mutate to MMT-ViRUS.
    I’m sure that we all see how the virus is hiding all the scams and taking the blame for everything.
    The virus is also, infecting the tropic countries.
    We are seeing the changes of the fall of empires.

    The rich, with the help of their accountants, lawyers, and politicians are battling like pigs, for all dollars from the printing press.

    If I cannot pay my bills, the rich will send the bill collectors to do me harm. There will be nobody to protect me. The protectors will be hired by the rich.

    Canadian Oil prices below $20.00. Are the sellers the same as the buyers?

    @ Dr. D
    My opinion will not change anything.
    Gov. means having rules and regulation so that our social and economic structures can function.
    The enablers, lawyers, accountants, are the right hand men of those politicians.
    Things are changing. However, it wont be to the advantage of the blue collar worker.
    Enablers will be there to make sure that the changes are to their advantage first.

    More countries are also imposing emergency measures across the Middle East, with Syria having days ago shuttered universities and many public spaces – despite not reporting any official confirmed cases, and Jordan Tuesday banning gatherings of more that ten people.

    But Iran has taken the most drastic measures as the virus’ spread has continued unabated, with daily rising numbers. Tehran says it’s now temporarily sent some 85,000 prisoners home to ensure the pandemic doesn’t rip through the nation’s overcrowded prisons and jails.

    Retailers are closing their stores to try to survive because consumers are not buying.
    If closures last past the due date for paying the rent then will the store inventory be seize by the bank, the landlord or …..

    Don’t forget
    All of these problems happened in China.
    Now
    The mfg. in China, are not getting purchase orders from stores that are closed.

    @ oxymoron
    Raul, this is something you wrote in 2008….

    Today is tomorrow

    Here is a simple truth/concept that is complicated when trying to apply it in reality.
    Its not socialism. Its not capitalism. Its not D or R.

    Everyone will need a revenue that is sufficient to be able to eat enough to live for another day and to pay the rent collectors.
    The first part has already started by using MMT.

    The second part will come next.

    There are only two ways for a person to receive a revenue.
    A simple Example

    Edwin Rosskam Shoeshine, 47th Street, Chicago’s main Negro business street 1941

    1. Do something for someone that they cannot do and that they are willing and capable to pay you to do it for them.
    or
    2. Do something for someone that they do not want to do and that they are willing and capable to pay you to do it for them.

    The broom has only swept a couple of years of gambling from the DOW.

    When I see that the airline industry is asking for $50 billion, and that Nancy P. is putting off coming back to vote on changed made by the senate to her bill, which therefore, means A DELAY ON HELPING THE WORKING POOR with no paycheck, I therefore realize her priorities.

    The hotel industry is being ask to tell the gov. the number of vacant room that they can rent for sequestered virus patients. How many millions of $ will they receive for reserving those empty rooms.

    How the system works
    Everyone needs an income to pay for food and to pay the bill collectors who insist on getting his pound of flesh.
    Now is the time for the capitalist to live or die without the gov. aid. Opsss, so now you want to join the communist, the socialist, be first on the corporate welfare list, even before the poor and the street people.

    “… how fast can Walmart restock? Can it?”
    My answer: No
    First Trump made a tariff war.
    Then China stop production due to the virus
    Then the USA stopped the economy. Stopped the purchasing. Then the USA did MMT for the rich and did not help the 70% that are consumers.

    highlighted some point that I also want to highlight.

    The suggestion that mass quarantines of everyone (sick or not) is ludicrous – never going to be feasible.
    there are huge numbers of young people walking around spreading the disease but not feeling particularly sick.

    Let’s remember where all the young people spent their spring break and watch if it will affect their seniors when they go back to their hometown schools.

    how many people in all age groups are taking pharmaceuticals that compromise their immune system? Many people use anti-inflammatory for all kinds of things from sports injuries to headaches.

    I just got information that hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice per day, is just as effective in treating novel coronavirus, maybe even a hair better. This is available, used long term in some forms of arthritis and autoimmune disease, but would only be used short term for this.

    My rant coming up.

    People need cash directly in their hands. For some, it might mean the difference between life and death.
    The Fed. just printed 1.5 billion to make changes that they want to have happen.
    ( Some have called it “doing gods work”)

    Our society is changing. Yep. We here, at TAE, have all noticed. Other blogger have also noticed the changes that are happening.
    We are even noticing that some of those changes might have been caused and maybe even coordinated by someone or a group of people.
    Saying that there are humans involved in creating the changes of our social structures fall into the category of “He said, she said”, because if “they” are capable of doing manipulation on such a large scale, then “they” are smart enough to hide the evidence and smart enough to hire the necessary enablers to make the manipulation happen. ( there is no proof of wrong doing – Biden)

    So now, that we agree that the virus is making changes to our society, look, do you see anybody (groups), taking advantage of the situation to promote their agenda?

    Of course, you see groups taking advantage of the changes to promote their vision of what will be the future.
    I don’t need to remind you that those individuals are promoting a better world for themselves not necessarily a better world for you.
    Do you agree or disagree with their vision of the future? Do you agree with their manipulation methods?
    Changes are coming.
    Therefore, now is your chance to be involved in making changes.
    Join a movement or start your movement.
    Yes, you can smell it.
    Change is in the air. (It isn’t ozone and it isn’t due to lack of TP)

    VANCOUVER — With spring break days away, B.C. health officials say they are now discouraging “all non-essential travel” outside of Canada due to the growing COVID-19 outbreak.

    Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry made the announcement Thursday during her daily virus briefing, and stressed that the advice applies to trips to the United States.

    “It is clear at this time that the evolving situation both in the United States and globally is a risk for all of us, and we are strongly advising people not to travel,” Henry said.

    Anyone who travels abroad will be required to stay home from work or school for 14 days upon their return to the province, according to health officials.
