It ’ s ‘ time to get one ’ s drink on ’ and ‘ break out the bubbly ’ as Congress has just approved the massive socialist stimulus bill that includes $ 1,200 cash payout “ Trump stacks ” for the nation .
On Capitol Hill , five days of arduous talks produced the bill , creating tensions among Congress ’ top leaders , who each took care to tend to party politics as they maneuvered and battled over crafting the legislation .
But failure was never an option , which permitted both sides to mark big wins .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ news of the likely but elusive agreement had sent the stock market rocketing on Tuesday .
The rescue package would be larger than the 2008 bank bailout and 2009 recovery act combined .
The package would give one-time payments of $ 1,200 per adult and $ 500 per child directly to the public .
A huge cash infusion for hospitals expecting a flood of COVID-19 patients grew during the talks at the insistence of Sen. Chuck Schumer , the Democratic leader , while Republicans pressed for tens of billions of dollars for additional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Emergency Management Agency , the lead federal disaster agency .
Democrats said the package would help replace the salaries of furloughed workers for four months , rather than the three months first proposed .
Furloughed workers would get whatever amount a state usually provides for unemployment , plus a $ 600 per week add-on , with gig workers like Uber drivers covered for the first time .

I think it is reasonable to say that people want the best for each other , including a quick fix to the economy so that people can get back to work .
However , this is not happening , and the people being put out of work largely will likely remain out of work for the foreseeable future .
I do not want to discuss politics in this , but rather to give a quick summary of what is going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happen ) not based on my own estimations , but on monetary policy .
The quick explanation of monetary policy is that more money = less value because value comes from scarcity .
The more dollars , be they in digital or physical form , means less scarcity , and less value .

What this means is that the dollar is going to have a significant decline in value more than what it already has experienced .
A decline in the value of the dollar means an increase in prices and the costs to do business because the actual means of communicating value between people ( money ) is WORTH LESS Note that WORTH + LESS forms ( = ) WORTHLESS , because that is what your money is becoming .
Congress is not “ helping ” people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This was the scandal of TARP in 2007 .
For by socializing losses for corporations , it caused a serious decline in the value of the dollar that while helping stock prices , hurt the common man .

The discussion from a decade ago , while still weaker than what it should have been , is completely gone .
Nobody is talking about principle any more yet this is what matters now more than ever .
Instead , both parties have convinced their adherents that the other side is “ bad ” for not giving out enough money for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that both parties are the same and working towards the same ends , which is socialism .
Now they are openly admitting they are promoting socialism by way of their behaviors , and nobody is debating this at all .
Instead , the trite question asked in response is “ why are you ( insert party ) hurting innocent Americans ?

What will people do when that same cup of coffee is five or six dollars ?
This is not to say that the cup of coffee itself is more expensive , but the means of value is worth less than what it was before .
This is my warning and reason why I have consistently spoken about the diversification of assets , especially into tangible assets such as gold and silver , because one needs to preserve one ’ s value by transferring their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preserve value and due to the fact they are tangible , they can not go to zero ( become worthless ) .
There has been talk that a lot of value is being lost and will continue to be lost in the current decline .
This is very true .
Expect a lot of people to get a lot poorer because either ( a ) the physical currency holdings they have will continue to decline on the basis of the decline in value of the currency itself , or ( b ) their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they lose value significantly .
However , as I have said , there is little that the common man can do .

It’s ‘time to get one’s drink on’ and ‘break out the bubbly’ as Congress has just approved the massive socialist stimulus bill that includes $1,200 cash payout “Trump stacks” for the nation.
On Capitol Hill, five days of arduous talks produced the bill, creating tensions among Congress’ top leaders, who each took care to tend to party politics as they maneuvered and battled over crafting the legislation. But failure was never an option, which permitted both sides to mark big wins. Even before the deal was reached, news of the likely but elusive agreement had sent the stock market rocketing on Tuesday. The rescue package would be larger than the 2008 bank bailout and 2009 recovery act combined. The package would give one-time payments of $1,200 per adult and $500 per child directly to the public. A huge cash infusion for hospitals expecting a flood of COVID-19 patients grew during the talks at the insistence of Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, while Republicans pressed for tens of billions of dollars for additional relief to be delivered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal disaster agency. Democrats said the package would help replace the salaries of furloughed workers for four months, rather than the three months first proposed. Furloughed workers would get whatever amount a state usually provides for unemployment, plus a $600 per week add-on, with gig workers like Uber drivers covered for the first time. “It ensures that all workers are protected whether they work for businesses small, medium or large, along with self-employed and workers in the gig economy,” Schumer said.

All joking aside, this really is not funny.
I think it is reasonable to say that people want the best for each other, including a quick fix to the economy so that people can get back to work. However, this is not happening, and the people being put out of work largely will likely remain out of work for the foreseeable future.
I do not want to discuss politics in this, but rather to give a quick summary of what is going to happen (yes, going to happen) not based on my own estimations, but on monetary policy.
The quick explanation of monetary policy is that more money = less value because value comes from scarcity. The more dollars, be they in digital or physical form, means less scarcity, and less value. Sand is less valuable than gold because sand is everywhere and gold is in short supply. The particular vehicle of value can change by culture, but the fact is that the principle is the same in any culture.
Congress is printing money- be it electronic or physical paper -to help people. What this means is that the dollar is going to have a significant decline in value more than what it already has experienced.
A decline in the value of the dollar means an increase in prices and the costs to do business because the actual means of communicating value between people (money) is WORTH LESS
Note that WORTH + LESS forms (=) WORTHLESS, because that is what your money is becoming.
Congress is not “helping” people, but making the currency worthless.
This was the scandal of TARP in 2007. For by socializing losses for corporations, it caused a serious decline in the value of the dollar that while helping stock prices, hurt the common man.
What this “Trump stack” bailout will do is to likely cause significant stock gains and increase value on paper for corporations and even individuals, but it will cause a decrease in the value of the money itself.
This is the great deception, and both parties and their supporters are not fighting over this principle (such as what one heard in 2007 about the nature of socializing irresponsible corporate behavior), but rather about who is for “the people”, as Trump said himself.
The discussion from a decade ago, while still weaker than what it should have been, is completely gone. Nobody is talking about principle any more yet this is what matters now more than ever. Instead, both parties have convinced their adherents that the other side is “bad” for not giving out enough money for the “proper” purposes.
Shoebat.com has said that both parties are the same and working towards the same ends, which is socialism. Now they are openly admitting they are promoting socialism by way of their behaviors, and nobody is debating this at all. Instead, the trite question asked in response is “why are you (insert party) hurting innocent Americans?”
If one thinks this virus is bad, wait until the next shipment of products come in and prices have to be adjusted to reflect the changes in market value. Does one think that three dollars for a cup of coffee is bad now? What will people do when that same cup of coffee is five or six dollars? This is not to say that the cup of coffee itself is more expensive, but the means of value is worth less than what it was before.
This is my warning and reason why I have consistently spoken about the diversification of assets, especially into tangible assets such as gold and silver, because one needs to preserve one’s value by transferring their value into time-tested and historical vehicles that preserve value and due to the fact they are tangible, they cannot go to zero (become worthless).
There has been talk that a lot of value is being lost and will continue to be lost in the current decline. This is very true. Expect a lot of people to get a lot poorer because either (a) the physical currency holdings they have will continue to decline on the basis of the decline in value of the currency itself, or (b) their investments will decline to the point that they lose value significantly.
However, as I have said, there is little that the common man can do. The fact is that certain things have been set in motion, and they are not going to be changed.
So break out the bubbly, and get your drink on- enjoy the “Trump stack,” but remember that this party is going to be over soon. And to that, while one is buying the ‘bubbly’, consider picking up a shovel, wheelbarrow, pick, and a bag of manure with a pack of seeds, because as the value of one’s currency continues to decline, the price of food is going to increase, and the taste of alcohol is very short-lived when compared to the pangs of hunger.

shoebat--2020-04-17--Islamic Leaders In Pakistan Beg For Muslim Cooperation To Stop The Spread Of Disease

Disease knows no race or religion .
It is not only Christians and church attendance in its current form ( and which has been practiced before in times of serious pandemics ) , but other groups that need to be very careful about social contact to minimize viral spread .
Many Orthodox Jews have been intentionally flouting the rules and the spread of COVID-19 has drastically increased among them .
Now Muslim leaders in Pakistan according to Reuters are trying to get people to work with social contact rules to prevent further spread of disease .
Durrani , 52 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pakistan government orders issued late last month banning religious congregations of five or more people to stem the spread of the coronavirus .
The disease has so far infected more than 5,300 people and killed 93 in the world ’ s second-most populous Muslim country .
“ Our prayer leader told us that the virus can ’ t infect us the way it does Western people , ” Durrani told Reuters .
“ He said we wash our hands and we wash our face five times a day before we say our prayers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so we need not worry .
God is with us.
” The Islamic lobby holds immense clout in Pakistan , a country of over 200 million people .
Religious parties have not been successful in electoral politics but they are able to whip up large , often violent , crowds on matters pertaining to religion , such as in support of the country ’ s harsh blasphemy law .
“ Religion and prayers are an emotional issue for many people in Pakistan , and the government has to be sensitive to that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ special assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan , told Reuters .
More than 60 % of the coronavirus cases in Pakistan have so far been linked to Muslims returning from pilgrimages in the Middle East and followers of the Tablighi Jamaat , an orthodox proselytizing group .
But the worry is of a big spike coming from the congregational prayers held in mosques , especially on Fridays , the Islamic sabbath .

Disease knows no race or religion. It is not only Christians and church attendance in its current form (and which has been practiced before in times of serious pandemics), but other groups that need to be very careful about social contact to minimize viral spread. Many Orthodox Jews have been intentionally flouting the rules and the spread of COVID-19 has drastically increased among them. Now Muslim leaders in Pakistan according to Reuters are trying to get people to work with social contact rules to prevent further spread of disease.
Durrani, 52, is among thousands of devout Muslims flouting Pakistan government orders issued late last month banning religious congregations of five or more people to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The disease has so far infected more than 5,300 people and killed 93 in the world’s second-most populous Muslim country. “Our prayer leader told us that the virus can’t infect us the way it does Western people,” Durrani told Reuters. “He said we wash our hands and we wash our face five times a day before we say our prayers, and the infidels don’t, so we need not worry. God is with us.” The Islamic lobby holds immense clout in Pakistan, a country of over 200 million people. Religious parties have not been successful in electoral politics but they are able to whip up large, often violent, crowds on matters pertaining to religion, such as in support of the country’s harsh blasphemy law. “Religion and prayers are an emotional issue for many people in Pakistan, and the government has to be sensitive to that,” Mirza Shahzad Akbar, a special assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan, told Reuters. More than 60% of the coronavirus cases in Pakistan have so far been linked to Muslims returning from pilgrimages in the Middle East and followers of the Tablighi Jamaat, an orthodox proselytizing group. But the worry is of a big spike coming from the congregational prayers held in mosques, especially on Fridays, the Islamic sabbath. The numbers in attendance at prayers are likely to increase with the onset of the holy month of Ramadan within two weeks, and authorities are struggling to cope. (source)

Will The ‘Big Re-Open’ Become What “Mission Accomplished” and ‘The Economy Has Recovered’ Was For Bush II and Obama?

In 2003 , President Bush famously declared “ mission accomplished ” over the murdering of Saddam Hussein and the invasion of the sovereign nation of Iraq .

Both things never happened .
The Iraq war continues , and the economy is worse now than ever .

President Donald Trump gave governors a road map Thursday for recovering from the economic pain of the coronavirus pandemic , laying out “ a phased and deliberate approach ” to restoring normal activity in places that have strong testing and are seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases .

They make clear that the return to normalcy will be a far longer process than Trump initially envisioned , with federal officials warning that some social distancing measures may need to remain in place through the end of the year to prevent a new outbreak .
And they largely reinforce plans already in the works by governors , who have primary responsibility for public health in their states .
“ You ’ re going to call your own shots , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a conference call , according to an audio recording obtained by The Associated Press .
“ We ’ re going to be standing alongside of you.

“They fought, and fought; some were even injured,” Prophète said. “In the moment we are speaking, we do not have a church. … Only the walls are standing.”
Patrick Durandis, director of the National Heritage Preservation Institute, told the South Florida Caribbean News Tuesday that he was told by someone in site that the fire started at around 3 a.m. in an annex building.
“We were waiting for the firefighters who were there but who unfortunately could not intervene for various reasons. It is difficult for us to have clear ideas to intervene suitably on this building, especially since we are caught elsewhere by the epidemic of coronavirus,” Durandis said. (source)

As COVID-19 spreads around the world, it has been threatening the integrity of the medical systems in countries around the world. This has already been seen in the US, where hospital systems have been strained gravely and states are rushing to secure federal help and prepare for an influx of sick patients. In the nation of Japan, AP News reports that the rise of COVID-19 infections is threatening to collapse the Japanese hospital system.
Medical workers are now reusing N95 masks and making their own face shields. The major city of Osaka has sought contributions of unused plastic raincoats for use as hazmat gowns. Abe has appealed to manufacturers to step up production of masks and gowns, ventilators and other supplies.
A government virus task force has warned that, in a worst-case scenario where no preventive measures were taken, more than 400,000 could die due to shortages of ventilators and other intensive care equipment.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said the government has secured 15,000 ventilators and is getting support of Sony and Toyota Motor Corp. to produce more.
Japanese hospitals also lack ICUs, with only five per 100,000 people, compared to about 30 in Germany, 35 in the U.S. and 12 in Italy, said Osamu Nishida, head of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine.
Italy’s 10% mortality rate, compared to Germany’s 1%, is partly due to the shortage of ICU facilities, Nishida said. “Japan, with ICUs not even half of Italy’s, is expected to face a fatality overshoot very quickly,” he said.
Japan has been limiting testing for the coronavirus mainly because of rules requiring any patients to be hospitalized. Surging infections have prompted the Health Ministry to loosen those rules and move patients with milder symptoms to hotels to free up beds for those requiring more care. (source)
