newswars--2020-04-15--Mother Enraged By Face Mask Ad Claiming Her Family Died of COVID-19

Sara Ancich of California felt “ violated ” after she discovered a face mask company used an image of her family in an advertisement claiming they died of COVID-19 .
The company , FilterMax , used an image of Sara , her husband and their three children in a commercial falsely claiming they all died , except for the youngest son , after contracting COVID-19 at a church service .
“ The family didn ’ t wear any face masks which led them to be easily infected in that huge crowd , ” the commercial stated .
“ Who would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a family and type that they had died ?
” Ancich said .
“ It ’ s on the forefront of everybody ’ s mind in the news and everything and how quickly it is taking lives .
It could so , so clearly be true to people.
” A teenage boy shown in the advertisement is said to be the only survivor of the Ancich family , but Sara has no clue who he is .
“ I am curious about the boy in the video , too .
Where ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he ’ s out there ?
” Ancich said .
Sara learned of the ad after family and friends reached out to her on Facebook to make sure she was not dead .
“ It was upsetting .

newswars--2020-04-15--Rachel Dolezal Trolled Into Performing 13 Per Cent/50 Per Cent Shout Out

Trans-racial activist Rachel Dolezal was trolled into performing a 13 per cent/50 per cent shout out by someone who paid Dolezal just $ 13.55 to embarrass herself .
The 13/50 meme refers to crime statistics which show that black people in America are responsible for roughly 50 per cent of homicides despite making up around 13 per cent of the population .
Since her dramatic and very public fall from grace , during which it was revealed that she was born very much white despite claiming to be black for most of her life , Dolezal appears to have reached @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pitiful sum by a user of the Cameo platform , where people can request celebrity shout outs in return for cash .
“ Hi , this is Rachel Dolezal sending congratulations to the 13 per cent crew for hitting 55 per cent this year–that ’ s amazing , ” the former NAACP chapter president said in the clip .
“ When 13 per cent of the company does 55 per cent of the work , you deserve recognition , ” she added .
“ But truth be told , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done .
So , you know who you are ; congratulations on your success , and this message is from your regional manager , ” said Dolezal .
The 6 per cent figure is a reference to the fact that most of the homicides are carried out by black males , who make up around 6 per cent of the U.S. population .
“ That is so fucking funny .
That is literally the funniest thing I ’ ve seen this year .
You were truly the best follow ever , ” remarked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have I seen money better spent , whoever did this should get a medal , ” tweeted another .

newswars--2020-04-15--Small Business Bailout Fund To Run Out Of Money Today

With millions in small business owners still waiting for their bank to get back to them on the status of their business continuity loan/grant application , it appears that some applicants have been more equal than others , and according to the Journal , the small-business loan program also known as the Paycheck Protection Program – which now finds itself at the center of a clash between congressional Democrats and Republicans – is expected to run out of money later Wednesday .
Negotiations between Congress and the White House , which reportedly resumed Wednesday over replenishing the small-business loan program @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus pandemic , will take on a new urgency after the program is expected to exhaust its initial allocation of $ 350 billion as early as the close of business today .
As of Wednesday morning , the Small Business Administration said it had approved about 1.3 million applications , totaling more than $ 289 billion in loans .
While both Democrats and Republicans want to add $ 250 billion to the small-business aid program , the two parties have been sparring for days over whether to add restrictions to the funds .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ expand access to the loans as well as include more money for hospitals , food assistance and state and local governments .
Republicans , on the other hand , said they want to keep the bill focused on increasing small-business aid and defer other funding debates until the next , broader legislation is crafted .
And so the political buck-passing continues : top Senate Democrate Chuck Schumer told reporters he had spoken with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin Wednesday morning and that both House and Senate Democratic staff were expected to meet with officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the day .
“ We see no reason why we can ’ t come to an agreement , ” Mr. Schumer said .

When adult brain cells are injured , they revert to an embryonic state , according to new findings published in the April 15 , 2020 issue of Nature by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine , with colleagues elsewhere .
The scientists report that in their newly adopted immature state , the cells become capable of re-growing new connections that , under the right conditions , can help to restore lost function .
Repairing damage to the brain and spinal cord may be medical science ’ s most daunting challenge .
Until relatively recently , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study lays out a “ transcriptional roadmap of regeneration in the adult brain.
” “ Using the incredible tools of modern neuroscience , molecular genetics , virology and computational power , we were able for the first time to identify how the entire set of genes in an adult brain cell resets itself in order to regenerate .
This gives us fundamental insight into how , at a transcriptional level , regeneration happens , ” said senior author Mark Tuszynski , MD , PhD , professor of neuroscience and director of the Translational @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Medicine .
Using a mouse model , Tuszynski and colleagues discovered that after injury , mature neurons in adult brains revert back to an embryonic state .
“ Who would have thought , ” said Tuszynski .

“ Our work further radicalizes this concept , ” Tuszynski said .
“ The brain ’ s ability to repair or replace itself is not limited to just two areas .

And in this reverted , far less mature state , it can now regrow axons if it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In my view , this is the most notable feature of the study and is downright shocking.
” To provide an “ encouraging environment for regrowth , ” Tuszynski and colleagues investigated how damaged neurons respond after a spinal cord injury .
In recent years , researchers have significantly advanced the possibility of using grafted neural stem cells to spur spinal cord injury repairs and restore lost function , essentially by inducing neurons to extend axons through and across an injury site , reconnecting severed nerves .
Last year , for example , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , PhD , assistant professor of neuroscience , Tuszynski , and Shaochen Chen , PhD , professor of nanoengineering and a faculty member in the Institute of Engineering in Medicine at UC San Diego , described using 3D printed implants to promote nerve cell growth in spinal cord injuries in rats , restoring connections and lost functions .

Tuszynski ’ s team found that the “ regenerative transcriptome ” — the collection of messenger RNA molecules used by corticospinal neurons — is sustained by the HTT gene .
In mice genetically engineered to lack the HTT gene , spinal cord injuries showed significantly less neuronal sprouting and regeneration .
“ While a lot of work has been done on trying to understand why Huntingtin mutations cause disease , far less is understood about the normal role of Huntingtin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work shows that Huntingtin is essential for promoting repair of brain neurons .
Thus , mutations in this gene would be predicted to result in a loss of the adult neuron to repair itself .

newswars--2020-04-15--Sheriff Rips Elizabeth Warren For Demanding Release of Illegals Due to Coronavirus

A Massachusetts sheriff has slammed Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-Mass . )
for allegedly pressuring him to facilitate the release of illegal alien detainees in his custody .
In a recent letter , Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson unloaded on the failed presidential candidate over her disparaging rhetoric about police and accusations regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) protocols .
“ As someone who has used their legislative position to demonize Sheriffs and our federal partners for enforcing our national immigration laws , and who consistently advocates for criminal illegal aliens , I find it outrageous that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I encourage Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release detainees , ” Sheriff Hodgson wrote .
“ Your record of placing more credibility with lawbreakers rather than those who enforce the laws created by Congress makes clear where your interests truly lie.
” Hodgson asserts Warren cited supposed “ alarming ” conditions in the Bristol County ICE detention facility as justification for an effective jailbreak , and also suggested officials from ICE and his office would “ intentionally not test for COVID-19 to avoid turning up positive results.
” “ Such a suggestion is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States Congress , ” Hodgson wrote .
“ The seriousness of this pandemic has no place for private agendas attempting to influence public policy , ” Hodgson asserted .
“ Particularly , when such uninformed interference raises the risks of harm to those we are dedicated to protect.
” “ I have no intentions of encouraging ICE to release detainees and strongly suggest , based on your lack of information , that you do not either.
” A federal judge subsequently intervened and ordered 45 detainees freed from the Bristol County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue on a ‘ rolling basis.
’ Hodgson said most of the detainees he was ordered to release had criminal histories and were awaiting deportation – however , virtually no restrictions were placed on their movement and no monitoring protocols were established .

newswars--2020-04-15--Government Victims and Entreprenurial Failure: Two Types of Conoranvirus Bankruptcies

In our present dire economic situation , lots of businesses are expected to go bankrupt .
The question nobody seems to ask is , why do they fail ?
There are two issues at play here that are very different , have different causes , and should require different solutions .
The first is failure because businesses are prohibited from continuing operations , their customers are curfewed , etc .
This is not an entrepreneurial failure , but one that has been imposed on these businesses .
For these failures , the government is to blame .
These businesses go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do business .
But the goods are wanted and there are ( presumably ) customers willing and able to buy them .
For example , restaurants are not allowed to serve guests but can only offer curbside or home delivery .
This lowers the value of their offering and potential customers are therefore less likely to buy .
This is simple economics : a lower value might not be high enough to warrant paying the previous price .
Restaurant owners would be smart to lower their prices and update their menus for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do or do not , blaming entrepreneurs for this fall in demand and their inability to cover costs is like blaming a chained dog for not roaming free .
This is not primarily an entrepreneurial error .
Regardless of the reason , this is a cost imposed on these business , and they should demand that government compensate them for the damage caused .
The other type is an entrepreneurial failure to foresee and thus inability to satisfy consumer wants .
When consumers change their minds , which entrepreneurs are painfully aware that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business that is not positioned for the new situation or is too slow to adapt to it *should* go out of business .
It matters not what the reason for this change is—a sudden change in tastes , a new fashion trend , a pandemic , war , etc .
To the degree that consumers no longer want what a firm offers , that firm should either adapt or go out of business .
Because they do not serve consumers if they keep doing what they ’ re doing .
This is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name of the game .
Entrepreneurs , and thus businesses , make money because and do so to the degree that they are able to satisfy consumers ’ wants .
If they do not , they should stop doing what they are doing .
The resources that they are using in production can be used in better ways ( from consumers ’ point of view ) elsewhere .
The sooner this correction takes place , the better .
This seems straightforward , but it is not .
First , we should see many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic has changed consumer behavior .
This is expected and , in fact , beneficial .
But also : much of the production undertaken in our economy lately has been structurally out of sync with consumers ’ wants .
This is what happens when the central bank and the banking system increase the supply of money .
This money must always enter the economy in specific place ( s ) , where it artificially boosts demand and therefore increases prices for those specific goods before prices elsewhere have adjusted .
In other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the new money first , which is always banks and often “ Wall Street , ” are enriched at the expense of those getting the new money last ( whose incomes increase later than the prices they pay for goods ) .
The Federal Reserve system has increased the money supply enormously since the financial crisis in an attempt to hide the needed correction ( readjustment of production to what consumers are most eager to buy ) with an artificial bubble .
As a result , many businesses were already not serving consumers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy .
Whether they knew it or not ( likely not ) , they were making money on the ongoing redistribution through money ’ s uneven flow through the economy ( so-called Cantillon effects ) .
On top of this structurally unsound production economy ( from the perspective of consumers ) , there is the pandemic , radically changing consumer behavior .
Both of these are actually entrepreneurial errors , and these businesses should fail because they do not properly serve consumers .
These failures are tragic for the owners , managers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these businesses are in fact inefficient and wasteful—the resources that they are/were using would serve us ( consumers ) better elsewhere .
Thus , the sooner they go under the better : it means that those resources are freed up and made available for investments more in line with consumers ’ wants .
Now , imagine the outcomes of large-scale loan programs by the government to “ save ” business .
There is no way that the government can tell the reason a business is struggling .
Should this one be saved or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differently , is this business struggling because the government made its value creation for consumers impossible—or because it is not producing what consumers truly want ?

In this situation , the question to ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to quickly and masterfully jump through the hoops and cut through the red tape to secure loans ?
And , further , what does this mean for the economy ?

In our present dire economic situation, lots of businesses are expected to go bankrupt.
The question nobody seems to ask is, why do they fail? There are two issues at play here that are very different, have different causes, and should require different solutions.
The first is failure because businesses are prohibited from continuing operations, their customers are curfewed, etc. This is not an entrepreneurial failure, but one that has been imposed on these businesses. For these failures, the government is to blame. These businesses go bankrupt because they are simply not allowed to do business. But the goods are wanted and there are (presumably) customers willing and able to buy them.
For example, restaurants are not allowed to serve guests but can only offer curbside or home delivery. This lowers the value of their offering and potential customers are therefore less likely to buy. This is simple economics: a lower value might not be high enough to warrant paying the previous price. Restaurant owners would be smart to lower their prices and update their menus for this new situation. But whether they do or do not, blaming entrepreneurs for this fall in demand and their inability to cover costs is like blaming a chained dog for not roaming free.
This is not primarily an entrepreneurial error.
Regardless of the reason, this is a cost imposed on these business, and they should demand that government compensate them for the damage caused.
The other type is an entrepreneurial failure to foresee and thus inability to satisfy consumer wants. When consumers change their minds, which entrepreneurs are painfully aware that do often and without warning, a business that is not positioned for the new situation or is too slow to adapt to it *should* go out of business. It matters not what the reason for this change is—a sudden change in tastes, a new fashion trend, a pandemic, war, etc. To the degree that consumers no longer want what a firm offers, that firm should either adapt or go out of business.
Why?
Because they do not serve consumers if they keep doing what they’re doing. This is not me being crass; it is the name of the game. Entrepreneurs, and thus businesses, make money because and do so to the degree that they are able to satisfy consumers’ wants. If they do not, they should stop doing what they are doing. The resources that they are using in production can be used in better ways (from consumers’ point of view) elsewhere. The sooner this correction takes place, the better.
This seems straightforward, but it is not.
First, we should see many businesses suffer or go bankrupt, because the pandemic has changed consumer behavior. This is expected and, in fact, beneficial. But also: much of the production undertaken in our economy lately has been structurally out of sync with consumers’ wants. This is what happens when the central bank and the banking system increase the supply of money. This money must always enter the economy in specific place(s), where it artificially boosts demand and therefore increases prices for those specific goods before prices elsewhere have adjusted.
In other words, whoever gets their hands on the new money first, which is always banks and often “Wall Street,” are enriched at the expense of those getting the new money last (whose incomes increase later than the prices they pay for goods). The Federal Reserve system has increased the money supply enormously since the financial crisis in an attempt to hide the needed correction (readjustment of production to what consumers are most eager to buy) with an artificial bubble.
As a result, many businesses were already not serving consumers’ actual wants but rather the new-money economy. Whether they knew it or not (likely not), they were making money on the ongoing redistribution through money’s uneven flow through the economy (so-called Cantillon effects).
On top of this structurally unsound production economy (from the perspective of consumers), there is the pandemic, radically changing consumer behavior. Both of these are actually entrepreneurial errors, and these businesses should fail because they do not properly serve consumers. These failures are tragic for the owners, managers, workers, and other stakeholders. But these businesses are in fact inefficient and wasteful—the resources that they are/were using would serve us (consumers) better elsewhere. Thus, the sooner they go under the better: it means that those resources are freed up and made available for investments more in line with consumers’ wants.
Now, imagine the outcomes of large-scale loan programs by the government to “save” business.
There is no way that the government can tell the reason a business is struggling. Should this one be saved or should it not? Or, put differently, is this business struggling because the government made its value creation for consumers impossible—or because it is not producing what consumers truly want?
Add to this the fact that some businesses have been focused on serving the consumer while others have been focused on government favors, cronyism, and using the system. The former group includes both businesses that “should” fail and businesses that were penalized by government. (The latter group scarcely serves consumers.)
In this situation, the question to ask is: which firms would be more likely to quickly and masterfully jump through the hoops and cut through the red tape to secure loans? And, further, what does this mean for the economy?


newswars--2020-04-15--Thanks to Lockdowns, State and Local Tax Revenues Are Plummeting

Unlike the federal government , state and local governments in America can ’ t just create money out of thin air .
So when tax revenues go down , that money is simply not available to the state legislatures and city councils anymore .
These governments either have to borrow the money , or raise taxes and hope the tax hike itself doesn ’ t cause total revenue to fall .
The taxes in these states and cities and counties rely heavily on economy activity for their tax revenue .
That is , sales must take place for sales tax @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earned for state income taxes to be collected .
Thanks to government-coerced economic shutdowns—on top of the severe recession currently brewing—tax revenues are plummeting .
And many government are already expecting the hit to be larger than it was during the Great Recession .
These realities will put pressure on politicians to relax their social distancing rules and hope that local taxpayers can again earn money and generate sales taxes in their jurisdictions .
A failure to do so will mean layoffs for government employees large cuts to government budgets .
Politicians may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether you have a job .
But they care deeply about their government budgets and jobs for their friends .
This , perhaps more than anything else , will hasten moves by state and local politicians toward allowing the US economy to function again .
In Ohio , for example , “ Gov .
Mike DeWine called last month for the directors in his Cabinet to prepare for cuts as large as 20 % to their agency budgets for the next 15 months , as the state prepared for the expected downturn in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy research group is warning state lawmakers to prepare for a ‘ dramatic collapse ’ in state revenue , estimating a tax revenue shortfall of $ 1.8 billion to $ 3 billion over the next 15 months.
” In Washington State , “ a presentation last week by the Republican leaders in the state legislature forecast a $ 3 billion to $ 6 billion fall in tax revenue because of business closures related to COVID-19 ” That represents about a ten-percent cut to the budget .
Colorado is looking at a 10 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Arizona predicts a 20 percent cut to revenue .
California ’ s budget reserves will soon disappear , and it fears “ significant spending cuts.
” And these are all just preliminary numbers .
In Ohio , city governments are beginning to realize that “ Soaring job losses statewide due to the coronavirus pandemic will hit city budgets hard.
” Meanwhile in Denver , the city is admitting that the impact this time will be worse than the Great Recession .
City departments are being asked to shave $ 180 million off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ budget .
And these are just anticipated losses so far .
Demand for Welfare Programs Will Grow as Americans Are Impoverished State and local governments have yet to feel the strain of massive growth in the demand for poverty-relief programs now that millions of Americans are out of work .
As political scientist Raymond Scheppach points out , Medicaid spending—which makes up over 28 percent of state spending now— ” will explode , ” especially since many states have been busy expanding Medicaid over the past decade .
With millions of households taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expect more demand for housing assistance and more applications for Medicaid .
Expect more homelessness and all the local spending that entails .
Expect more strain on budgets in general .
As the need for welfare increases—and as revenues decline overall—cities and states will nonetheless need to cut somewhere .
In many cases this will mean cuts to “ public safety ” programs .
Denver , for instance , is already looking at cutting police budgets .
The city of Boulder has furloughed seven hundred city employees for more than two months .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed to be ready to arrest and prosecute you for violating social distancing violations ?
Many of them are looking at pay cuts .
Some will be lucky to have a job by year ’ s end .
While some budget hawks might think this is all to the good , the cuts to public safety won ’ t look quite as charming if thousands of desperate , unemployed workers turn to civil unrest .
Naturally , calls for federal bailouts of state and local governments are intensifying .
Governments in New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state .
The Brookings Institution wants “ massive and immediate ” bailouts for state and local governments , including a quarter-trillion dollars just for the CDBG block grant program .
Naturally , Brookings wants the feds to start pouring more money into Medicaid as well .
And that ’ s just “ initially.
” More bailouts are assumed to be needed later .
After all , this is not a one-quarter or one-year problem .
After the Great Recession in 2009 , for instance , the Denver city government was “ still cutting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State and Local Politicians to Ignore Local Taxpayers Federal bailouts certainly offer dollars for filling in budget holes .
But using federal dollars to replace state and local revenues offers a political solution for state and local politicians as well .
If state and local governments rely on state and local taxes to keep their governments up and running , this means economy-crushing policies like the COVID-19 lockdowns bring with them their own consequences for politicians : state and local politicians may not care if scores of local businesses declare bankruptcy and disappear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revenues from within their own jurisdictions , destruction of the private sector will also destroy government budgets .
That means at least some discipline is built in to the local regulatory state which must be careful to not kill the golden goose .
But the federal bailouts offer a way out : the more state and local governments rely on federal “ assistance , ” bailouts , and grants , the less state and local governments have to care about what the local taxpayers think .
State governments already receive on average about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grants and other spending .
The larger this number becomes , the more these governments can afford to impose high costs on the local taxpayers with little regard as to whether these taxpayers can actually produce anything or earn a living .
Local tax revenue plummets ?
Just go the federal governments and its mountains of freshly created money .
Then go back to the taxpayers and claim “ look , we can keep paying for all these programs and we didn ’ t raise your taxes !
” What these politicians don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to continue imposing draconian regulations and wealth-killing taxes on the locals because the politicians don ’ t have to care if the locals are economically successful .
The money now comes from somewhere outside the state or outside the city .
Fortunately , there are limits to how much the federal government can fund every state , county , and city in America .
This is true even in our world where the US government blithely increases its debt by trillions of dollars in just a couple of weeks .
So , states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in part—ensure they don ’ t completely destroy their local economies .
This is no doubt a significant factor in why even states like California and New York have stopped talking about locking down their economies for a year or more until there are “ no new cases , no deaths for a period of time ” or “ until there ’ s a vaccine.
” This is pure fantasy unless one is prepared to send state , county , and municipal governments into bankruptcy and budgetary collapse .
We ’ ll soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are willing to do that .

Tax Revenues Are Hit by Economic Stagnation
In Ohio, for example, “Gov. Mike DeWine called last month for the directors in his Cabinet to prepare for cuts as large as 20% to their agency budgets for the next 15 months, as the state prepared for the expected downturn in revenue.”

Naturally, calls for federal bailouts of state and local governments are intensifying. Governments in New York want US taxpayers to bail out the state. The Brookings Institution wants “massive and immediate” bailouts for state and local governments, including a quarter-trillion dollars just for the CDBG block grant program. Naturally, Brookings wants the feds to start pouring more money into Medicaid as well.
And that’s just “initially.” More bailouts are assumed to be needed later. After all, this is not a one-quarter or one-year problem. After the Great Recession in 2009, for instance, the Denver city government was “still cutting budgets in 2013.”

We’ll soon find out how many governors and mayors are willing to do that.
