    Take your optimism to the HARBAUGH!!! thread where it has justifiable purchase.

    Let me and AA wallow in the fact that LSU will be last ever CFB national champion.

        We don't have leverage with China for a couple of reasons: 1) They have a whole bunch of the US debt, 2) They make a lot of stuff that Americans use.

        There is not a whole lot that you can do about the first part. China is free to buy whatever debt they want to with their own money. On the second point to get American manufacturing back to making stuff (and expanding it) is going to take at least a decade and maybe more.

        Even using our big stick (the military) is of limited value here, because of their sheer numbers would help blunt the tactical advantage that we have over them.


        DeSantis not shutting down the beaches was really, really stupid on his part. That stay in place order was really really late in coming.

            Yeah, China is heavily invested in the dollar that they would take a huge hit if it tanked.

              And how long do you think the American consumer, who has been trained to want the lowest price no matter what, would be willing to tolerate not getting the cheap from China?

              Numbers certainly do matter. Air power can only do so much if there was a serious hot war (assuming no nukes are used of course) eventually you have to put boots on the ground. Terrain can really cut down on the technological edge that the US does have.

                      Veterans' home in Holyoke, Massachusetts the site of a brewing coverup and scandal...as far as the Mayor and the state knew, only one person in the home was infected with COVID-19. In fact, it's looking like 11 people have died from it, another dozen or so are infected, and at least 5 staff members have caught it as well.

                        This is what I hate: the unrealistic bitching. David Chang a famous chef/restauranteur in Los Angeles complained that to keep his restaurant open, he needed the following:

                          Brit Hume pushing hard the notion that if you have asthma, catch COVID-19, and then die, you died from your underlying condition of asthma and shouldn't be counted towards COVID-19 death totals. Only perfectly healthy people who catch COVID-19 and then die truly died from it. Jesus.

                          I really really don't get why so many rightwing folks are pushing arguments like this and insisting fear of COVID-19 is way overhyped.

                            Sad local story. Grove City woman has lost her brother and both parents since Sunday. Her husband is now on a ventilator. They all appear to have gotten sick after a family get-together the first weekend of March.
