What If the Fed Did Nothing?

Austrians and Libertarians are well-established critics of central banking in general , and emergency monetary stimulus in particular .
There is near universal agreement that Alan Greenspan should not have cut rates following the Dot-Com Bubble , and that Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen should not have quadrupled the monetary base following the Housing Bubble .
Yet if you mention this to someone who is not persuaded of our position , you will likely get a response along the lines of , “ well , what should they have done instead ?
” “ Well then wouldn ’ t things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s this last question that I don ’ t believe we have answered to great effect .
What would the effects have been if Greenspan , Bernanke , and Yellen had simply frozen the monetary base during their respective crises ?
More importantly , what would be the effect today if Powell did so ?
We are currently in a situation in which many business ’ revenues have dried up .

Nonetheless , many of their obligations remain : rent still has to be payed ; loan payments still need to be made ; salaries still need to be paid , etc .
As a result , the demand for loanable funds has gone through the roof .
The Fed has responded to this situation by injecting hundreds of billions of dollars ( if not yet trillions ) into various lending markets such as the markets for repurchase agreements , treasury bills , municipal bonds , and mortgage-backed securities .

All of these various open market operations amount to different versions of the same thing : the Fed is responding to the demand for loanable funds by printing new money and lending it .

As businesses begin to demand short term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the first thing we would begin to see is that interest rates would rise .

For the sake of argument , let ’ s say the short term interest rate shot up to 15 or 20 % on an annualized basis .

We are currently in a situation in which many business’ revenues have dried up. Airlines, retail stores, restaurants and bars, cruise lines, oil companies, and others have seen their cash flow deteriorate over the first quarter of this year. Nonetheless, many of their obligations remain: rent still has to be payed; loan payments still need to be made; salaries still need to be paid, etc. As a result, the demand for loanable funds has gone through the roof. The Fed has responded to this situation by injecting hundreds of billions of dollars (if not yet trillions) into various lending markets such as the markets for repurchase agreements, treasury bills, municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities.

The effect of this rate change would be two-fold: first, it would push the marginal borrower out of the market. This would mean that borrowing for non-essential purposes would be curbed.

This would free up funds that could flow to businesses facing financial distress. Second, those who do keep cash balances would be strongly incentivized to enter the lending market. Those who had sidelined cash, and had been missing out on the excellent returns of the stock market would suddenly have the opportunity to return 10% in six months on a Certificate of Deposit (CD) account while the stock market is in a state of precipitous decline.

So in conclusion, I’ll contrast this dire picture one last time with the question: what would happen if the Fed did nothing? Savers would profit very well over the coming year. Viable businesses would eat the cost of borrowing at higher short-term rates, but would ultimately be able to weather the storm.

It pays to be prepared for a rainy day. And next time, more would be.

The Federal Reserve’s zero interest rate policy and industry bailouts threaten more than just the fragile economy.
The very foundation of the social order risks permanent fracturing under this system of moral hazard.
In Human Action, Ludwig von Mises defined society as “joint action and cooperation in which each participant sees the other partner’s success as a means for the attainment of his own.” Without social trust, there is no society. Private property and the division of labor, the hallmarks of a civilization, arise out of cooperation.
In a strictly economic sense, all the malinvestment and capital destruction the Federal Reserve can muster can be overcome in the medium term. Capital gets restructured. However, in the social realm, bad economic policies can do irreversible harm under certain circumstances, especially when money creation is entrusted to a central bank.

The Political Fallout of the New Bailouts
Central banks, however, often work to undermine this cooperation. The latest round of social disruption is seen in the recent surprise decision by the Federal Reserve to not only lower interest rates to zero but also enact unlimited QE — in order to purchase immense amounts of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, among other assets.
The purchase of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities amounts to a bailout to investment bankers and the U.S. government, while the rate drop undercuts vulnerable Americans dependent on savings.
If that sounds familiar, it should be noted that the glaring difference between this drastic move and the last comparable one in 2008, is that 12 years ago a recession was already well underway.
During the phone call news conference for the emergency announcement, Fed chairman Jerome Powell assured reporters that negative interest rates aren’t anticipated to be “appropriate” in the future. Even if that is true — which it probably isn’t — much damage has already been done in the form of asset price inflation which has made housing unaffordable to many while mostly inflating the portfolios of the wealthy.
Many see this and will also see how large influential lobbying groups and huge corporations benefit most from the bailouts.
Undermining Social Trust
Here is when social trust will get hit the hardest. If it’s already plain to see that the top of the financial food chain can’t be trusted, it can be expected that some Americans will see only degrees of difference between the ones responsible for inflation and those they perceive to be unfair beneficiaries of it.
Consider the late 2018 Pew Research Center survey that found 26 percent of American adults feel they’ve been disadvantaged compared to others their own age. The poll found that the lower the household income and education level, the more likely someone would answer that they themselves were disadvantaged compared to their peers.
While this sentiment might be founded in some truth, the survey also concluded that “low trusters,” those who exhibited low social trust levels, said they had fewer advantages in life 37 percent of the time. The higher the social trust level, the more likely the person answered that they had either equal or more advantages than their peers.
Bailouts will contribute to the disintegration of social trust, to the extent that moral hazard is institutionalized. If it weren’t for the state “rescuing” the market, bankruptcies would open up opportunities to competitors and entrepreneurs eager to serve consumers in pursuit of profits. Instead, how well will consumers be served when business losses are paid back by the force of government?
Moral hazard also extends to the individual level, and in this election year, the Trump administration is fearlessly diving headlong in that direction. It’s currently working out specifics of how to send roughly $2,000 to every taxpayer, as relief to the economic slowdown brought on by governments at all levels in the country. These so-called “covid checks” won’t be disseminated in accordance with new value created or any goods or services brought to market. They’ll simply encourage the behavior that preceded the giveaway: social distancing and idleness. Moreover, the covid checks will contribute to price inflation as more dollars chase a tepidly growing — or even decreasing — number of goods.1
The Economics of Central-Bank Fueled Inequality
As increasing wages fail to keep up with the cost of living — whether due to asset-price inflation (i.e., housing) of consumer-price inflation — economic populism and social division will increase.
Even if everyone chose to put off their spending for the next crisis, the Fed’s zero interest rate policy will do them no favors. Those with little time to save up would be even worse off.
As conservative and safe methods of saving are closed off by ultra-low interest rates, “Society’s most vulnerable now must enter the stock market or take other kinds of risks just to hold on to their wealth,” Tom Woods writes in his book The Church and the Market.
With the institutionalized moral hazard and political favoritism created by bailouts comes a culture fo division that undermines the common good and the prospects of children and their posterity.
Samuel Gregg writes at the Acton Institute blog about why culture matters for the economy, citing David C. Rose’s book “Why Culture Matters Most.” Rose stresses the importance of “the inculcation of duty-based moral restraint” above other moralistic calls for altruism and the like, because restraint from certain behaviors is what earns social trust. “Restraint,” however is more or less the opposite of what we’ll see from central bankers and government officials in the coming years.

newswars--2020-04-01--Japanese VP: The WHO Should be Renamed the ‘Chinese Health Organization’

The deputy prime minister of Japan says that the WHO should be renamed the ‘ Chinese Health Organization ’ for its role in helping Beijing cover-up the severity of the coronavirus outbreak .

“ People think the World Health Organization should change its name .
It shouldn ’ t be called the WHO , it should be renamed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This appeal is truly resonating with the people , ” said Aso .

Throughout January , the WHO praised China for its open and “ speedy ” response to COVID-19 , even as Beijing authorities were silencing and disappearing doctors like Ai Fen who tried to warn the world that China was engaged in a cover-up .

“People think the World Health Organization should change its name. It shouldn’t be called the WHO, it should be renamed the Chinese Health Organization (CHO). This appeal is truly resonating with the people,” said Aso.
“Early on, if the WHO had not insisted to the world that China had no pneumonia epidemic, then everybody would have taken precautions,” he added, noting that Taiwan had to face coronavirus on its own because it was excluded from the WHO.
Indeed, as we have highlighted, the World Health Organization repeatedly amplified Chinese propaganda that the coronavirus outbreak was under control, including a January 14th tweet which falsely claimed there was no human to human transmission of the disease, despite this having occurred in December.

Daily reminder that China is to blame for coronavirus. It originated in China. China lied about human to human transmission. The WHO amplified this lie. China disappeared doctors who tried to warn the world. Yet our media still suggests it’s racist to talk about any of this. — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) April 1, 2020

newswars--2020-04-01--University Issue Decree To Students: Do not use terms such as ‘Chinese Virus’

The University of California has issued a decree to students , ordering them not to use the term ‘ Chinese virus ’ and not to let anyone else use the term , reasoning that it is ‘ racist ’ .
The orders come from the Council of Chief Diversity Officers at the University ( yes that really is a thing ) .
Administrators sent out what they describe as a “ guidance document ” to help “ supportive positive and inclusive campus climates during the COVID-19 crisis.
” The order mandates that students “ reject racism , sexism , xenophobia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both in person and online , ” and to “ Be an ‘ up-stander , ’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior.
” Pray tell , what constitutes such hateful speech ?
“ Do not use terms such as ‘ Chinese Virus ’ or other terms which cast either intentional or unintentional projections of hatred toward Asian communities , and do not allow the use of these terms by others , ” the documents urges .
Students and faculty members should only refer to the virus as “ COVID-19 ” OR @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and written communications , ” the decree adds .
Related : University Of Wisconsin : Claiming Coronavirus Is From China Is “ Racist ” London reporter Paul Joseph Watson reports on how Democrats were pushing people to socialize during COVID-19 pandemic .
That ’ s not social distancing !
Not all students are following the ‘ guidelines ’ , however .
“ While certain concerns of bigotry directed towards persons of Asian descent might be warranted , this UC policy implicitly attributes a malicious motive to those who refer to the coronavirus as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is laughable , ” External VP of the UC Berkeley College Republicans Rudra Reddy told Campus Reform .
“ The Chinese government has actively contributed to the spread of this deadly virus by obscuring information about the outbreak and spreading devious rumors trying to assign blame to the American military , ” Reddy added .
“ They deserve to be called out for their role in this crisis and the UC system should not play along with their propaganda campaign to designate calls for accountability as racism.
” Reddy further urged .
Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a UC graduate student who wished to remain anonymous said “ the fact that the UC system found it a reasonable expenditure of time to put together a ‘ guidance document ’ is a waste .
This pandering to the CCP [ Chinese Communist Party ] is an attack on the mission and values of the University.

“ Although this may be a ‘ guidance document , ’ how many people on campus will know that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they do , do they truly believe they won ’ t be punished ?
Quite obviously , this guidance is intended to ‘ chill ’ certain speech… ” commented Nicole Neily , president of First Amendment group Speech First .

newswars--2020-04-01--Tucker Carlson: The WHO Helped China Cover-Up Coronavirus

Tucker Carlson exposed during a powerful monologue last night how the World Health Organization helped China cover-up the severity of coronavirus and how the U.S. media turned a blind eye .

Tucker Carlson exposed during a powerful monologue last night how the World Health Organization helped China cover-up the severity of coronavirus and how the U.S. media turned a blind eye.
The Fox News host noted how World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom “got his job with Chinese support after he covered up cholera outbreaks in his home country” of Egypt.
Tedros has denied the allegation, which centered around claims he had downplayed cholera epidemics in Ethiopia in 2006, 2009 and 2011 by passing them off as “acute watery diarrhea,” a symptom of cholera.
The United Nations later said that more lives could have been saved if the epidemic had been accurately labeled as cholera.
Carlson then accused Adhanom of setting the standard for corruption within the WHO by congratulating China for its “speedy” response to coronavirus in late January despite widespread evidence that China covered up the outbreak for over a month, lied about its severity and then silenced whistleblowers who tried to warn the world.
“Everything you just heard him say there was a lie,” said Carlson, highlighting an Australian 60 Minutes piece which features an expert explaining how China knew human to human transmission of COVID-19 had happened back in December.
Indeed, as we previously highlighted, on January 14th, the WHO was amplifying Chinese fake news that no human to human transmission of coronavirus had occurred.

“So the World Health Organization’s leadership tells you that China ‘set the standard’ for the response to the outbreak, apparently that standard includes disappearing doctors who tell the truth about it,” said the Fox News host.
Ai Fen, a doctor at the head of emergency at Wuhan central hospital, asserted that Beijing stopped her from warning the world and subsequently disappeared with her whereabouts being completely unknown.
Pointing out that the U.S. media has completely failed to properly document China’s cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak, Tucker noted how even as late as mid-February officials were seemingly more concerned with political correctness than the spread of the virus.
“In early February, the director of the World Health Organization was still lecturing the public that using terms like ‘Wuhan virus’ was racist,” said Carlson before playing a clip of Adhanom from February 11 in which he asserted that using the wrong name for coronavirus was “stigmatizing.”
“You might think that the World Health Organization, a group that got $58 million of your tax dollars last year might care that a government arrests doctors and lies about deadly new diseases, but no, like so many other organizations they are lapdogs for the powerful and that means their real job is sucking up to the Chinese government,” concluded Carlson.

newswars--2020-04-01--As The U.S. Economy Collapses, Authorities Warn That The Unthinkable May Soon Become Reality

With each passing day , it seems like the forecasts for the rest of 2020 are just getting worse .
Initially , most of the “ economic experts ” on television were warning that the coronavirus pandemic may push our country into a recession , but now we are being warned that we could soon see economic numbers that we haven ’ t seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s .
And initially we were told that the death toll in the United States would probably not be that high , but now that the death toll has already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on 9/11 the message has changed .
Short on time , but still want to stay informed ?
The War Room Highlights covers clips from all 3 hours of the broadcast !
At this point , our national officials are warning us that up to 240,000 Americans could die “ by the end of the year ” … As I write this article , the U.S. death toll is closing in on the 4,000 mark .
That means that the number of dead bodies in the U.S. could get almost 60 times higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that projection is anywhere close to accurate , do you think that there is any possibility that America will “ reopen for business ” any time soon ?
This is a national crisis unlike anything that any of us have ever experienced before , and we all need to work together to try to defeat this virus .
Fortunately , our national health authorities are finally realizing that if everyone was wearing masks that it may greatly reduce the spread of COVID-19 .
On Tuesday , Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asking all Americans to wear masks when they are out in public… Of course this would represent a 100 percent reversal from earlier this year when our national health leaders and the mainstream media were openly discouraging everyone from wearing masks .
If everyone would have been wearing masks from the beginning , we could have saved a lot of lives , but at least they are finally realizing their mistake .
Yes , having everyone wear a mask would raise the level of fear among the general public , but it would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this pandemic under control .
Every day we hesitate , the longer this pandemic is likely to persist , and one of China ’ s top health officials says that the fact that we have waited this long to make a move is a “ big mistake ” … Without a doubt , wearing masks is inconvenient and they look awkward .
But if everyone is doing it nobody will stand out , and as President Trump has noted , it will hopefully only be “ for a short period of time ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it would have been crazy to suggest that most people in America would be wearing masks by the middle of 2020 because of a horrible pandemic , but now we are on the verge of that actually happening .
Of course the big problem with asking everyone to wear masks is that we still have a national shortage .
The following comes from Tucker Carlson… And even though this mask shortage has now been glaringly apparent for many weeks , the problem still has not been fixed .
In fact , mask shortages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation… Meanwhile , the U.S. economy continues to collapse at a speed that is absolutely breathtaking .
U.S. stocks just closed out their worst first quarter ever .
During the months of January , February and March , an all-time record 19.6 trillion dollars of stock market wealth was wiped out , and many believe that the worst is still yet to come .
Currently , approximately 75 percent of the country is under some sort of a “ shelter-in-place order ” and this has brought economic activity to a crashing halt .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the current state of the U.S. economy… When even CNN starts sounding like The Economic Collapse Blog , then you know that things have gotten really , really bad .
All Across America , retailers are boarding up stores , and Bloomberg is reporting that some areas of the nation are seeing a “ barter economy ” start to emerge… It is crazy how much things have changed in just a matter of weeks .
At the beginning of the year the mainstream media was full of reports about how well the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is projecting that the U.S. economy will shrink at an annualized rate of 34 percent in the second quarter… Of course many industries will see a decline far greater than 34 percent during the second quarter .
At this point , we are being told that there are “ basically no U.S. auto sales right now ” … Have you seen the new car commercials where they are promising to take care of your car payments if you lose your job because of the coronavirus ?
Well , I hope that they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans are losing their jobs right now .
And just like we have seen during every other economic downturn , some Americans will respond to economic misfortune by taking their own lives… This should never happen , and we need to try to get people to understand that there is always hope .
No matter how bad things get , God can take the broken pieces of your life and turn them into a beautiful thing .
There is always hope if you know Jesus , and this is a time when we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cross with as many people as we possibly can .
Right now things look really bleak to most people , and we are seeing things that we have never seen before .
For example , the top of the Empire State Building has been made to look like a “ spinning ” red siren light… So many people are going to fall into depression and despair in the weeks ahead , and what we have experienced so far is just the beginning .
But it is critical to remember that God knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He is in control , and He has a plan to bring us through this .
It is during times of great crisis that we find out who we really are .
The past several weeks have been very challenging , and President Trump is warning that we are heading into “ a hell of a bad two weeks ” … It will be very interesting to watch how the American people respond to this nightmare .
Will we respond with humility and brokenness , or will we stubbornly remain on the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this pandemic started ?
This is one of the most critical junctures in our history , and nothing will be the same from this point forward .

With each passing day, it seems like the forecasts for the rest of 2020 are just getting worse.
Initially, most of the “economic experts” on television were warning that the coronavirus pandemic may push our country into a recession, but now we are being warned that we could soon see economic numbers that we haven’t seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
And initially we were told that the death toll in the United States would probably not be that high, but now that the death toll has already surpassed the number of Americans that died on 9/11 the message has changed.
Short on time, but still want to stay informed? The War Room Highlights covers clips from all 3 hours of the broadcast!
At this point, our national officials are warning us that up to 240,000 Americans could die “by the end of the year”…
Members of President Donald Trump’s administration laid out dire estimates Tuesday to underscore the potential impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, a grim prediction they said was at the center of the president’s decision to extend strict social distancing guidelines through the end of April. Federal public health officials said that between 100,000 and 240,000 could succumb to the virus by the end of the year – making it one of the nation’s worst public health crises – said Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator.
As I write this article, the U.S. death toll is closing in on the 4,000 mark.
That means that the number of dead bodies in the U.S. could get almost 60 times higher by the end of 2020.
If that projection is anywhere close to accurate, do you think that there is any possibility that America will “reopen for business” any time soon?
This is a national crisis unlike anything that any of us have ever experienced before, and we all need to work together to try to defeat this virus.
Fortunately, our national health authorities are finally realizing that if everyone was wearing masks that it may greatly reduce the spread of COVID-19. On Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that the coronavirus task force is “seriously considering” asking all Americans to wear masks when they are out in public…
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed on Tuesday that the White House coronavirus task force is seriously considering guidance that Americans wear masks to help thwart the rapid spread of COVID-19. But the country’s top infectious disease expert also acknowledged that such a directive has been complicated by the nationwide dearth of personal protective equipment.
Of course this would represent a 100 percent reversal from earlier this year when our national health leaders and the mainstream media were openly discouraging everyone from wearing masks.
If everyone would have been wearing masks from the beginning, we could have saved a lot of lives, but at least they are finally realizing their mistake.
Yes, having everyone wear a mask would raise the level of fear among the general public, but it would also be a big step in getting this pandemic under control.
Every day we hesitate, the longer this pandemic is likely to persist, and one of China’s top health officials says that the fact that we have waited this long to make a move is a “big mistake”…
A prominent public health leader in China also argues for widespread use of masks in public. The director general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, George Gao, told Science that the U.S. and Europe are making a “big mistake” with people not wearing masks during this pandemic. Specifically, he said, mask use helps tamp down the risk presented by people who may be infected but aren’t yet showing symptoms. If those people wear masks, “it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others,” Gao told Science.
Without a doubt, wearing masks is inconvenient and they look awkward.
But if everyone is doing it nobody will stand out, and as President Trump has noted, it will hopefully only be “for a short period of time”…
“We are not going to be wearing masks forever, but it could be for a short period of time after we get back into gear. I could see something like that happening for a period of time,” President Trump said during Monday’s White House briefing.
A couple of months ago, it would have been crazy to suggest that most people in America would be wearing masks by the middle of 2020 because of a horrible pandemic, but now we are on the verge of that actually happening.
Of course the big problem with asking everyone to wear masks is that we still have a national shortage. The following comes from Tucker Carlson…
From the beginning of the Chinese coronavirus epidemic, mask shortages have been a major problem. Some people hoarded hundreds or thousands of them. Manufacturers couldn’t keep up. In some cases, apparently, they were sent overseas. The foreign countries who we outsourced our factories to prudently decided to keep the masks for themselves. Nationalism is real in a crisis. And of course, here in the United States, our own government didn’t have nearly enough mass stockpiled to cope with what has happened.
And even though this mask shortage has now been glaringly apparent for many weeks, the problem still has not been fixed.
In fact, mask shortages are still being reported all over the nation…
But there is still a big concern about mask shortages in the United States. A survey released Friday from the U.S. Conference of Mayors finds that about 92% of 213 cities did not have an adequate supply of face masks for first responders and medical personnel. At this point, experts emphasize that the general public needs to leave the supply of N95 medical masks to health care workers who are at risk every day when they go to work.
Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continues to collapse at a speed that is absolutely breathtaking.
U.S. stocks just closed out their worst first quarter ever. During the months of January, February and March, an all-time record 19.6 trillion dollars of stock market wealth was wiped out, and many believe that the worst is still yet to come.
Currently, approximately 75 percent of the country is under some sort of a “shelter-in-place order” and this has brought economic activity to a crashing halt. The following is how CNN is describing the current state of the U.S. economy…
The economy is cratering deeper than we have seen in our lifetimes. Layoffs are coming so quickly, the state unemployment offices can’t keep up. Banks are flooded with calls about upcoming mortgage and loan payments. Downtowns are deserted, malls are closed, bars are empty, and airplanes are grounded.
When even CNN starts sounding like The Economic Collapse Blog, then you know that things have gotten really, really bad.
All Across America, retailers are boarding up stores, and Bloomberg is reporting that some areas of the nation are seeing a “barter economy” start to emerge…
Barter, the trade system prevalent in the Middle Ages, is back in the time of coronavirus pandemic, with a modern twist. Social networks Facebook and Nextdoor are flooded with posts from neighbors and friends seeking to swap eggs for toilet paper. Small and midsized businesses, whose cash trade has dried up from the economic fallout of shelter-in-place orders, are turning to online barter exchanges.
It is crazy how much things have changed in just a matter of weeks.
At the beginning of the year the mainstream media was full of reports about how well the economy was doing, but now Goldman Sachs is projecting that the U.S. economy will shrink at an annualized rate of 34 percent in the second quarter…
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. expects the U.S. economy to experience a far deeper slump than previously anticipated as the coronavirus pandemic hammers businesses, causing a wave of mass unemployment. The world’s largest economy will shrink an annualized 34% in the second quarter, compared with an earlier estimate of 24%, economists led by Jan Hatzius wrote in a report. Unemployment will soar to 15% by mid-year, up from a previous forecast of 9%, they wrote.
Of course many industries will see a decline far greater than 34 percent during the second quarter.
At this point, we are being told that there are “basically no U.S. auto sales right now”…
The coronavirus lockdowns across the nation will also put a damper on April, which is traditionally a good month for auto sales. Ford is all but shutting down and names like Fiat and GM are expected to release extremely weak numbers later this week. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas put it simply: “There are basically no U.S. auto sales right now. Investors have fully embraced the reality that the U.S. auto industry may be shut down for one or two full months. We’re now being asked to run scenarios of six-month or nine-month shutdowns.”
Have you seen the new car commercials where they are promising to take care of your car payments if you lose your job because of the coronavirus?
Well, I hope that they have really big pockets, because millions of Americans are losing their jobs right now.
And just like we have seen during every other economic downturn, some Americans will respond to economic misfortune by taking their own lives…
Wilson police say a man shot his longtime girlfriend and killed himself because he was extremely upset about the coronavirus pandemic and losing his job. Police say 38-year-old Roderick Bliss IV shot his longtime girlfriend in the back before turning the gun on himself. Police say officers responded to a resident on North 17th Street in Wilson Borough for shots fired and found Bliss unresponsive and not breathing. A semi-automatic pistol was near his body.
This should never happen, and we need to try to get people to understand that there is always hope.
No matter how bad things get, God can take the broken pieces of your life and turn them into a beautiful thing. There is always hope if you know Jesus, and this is a time when we should all be sharing the message of the cross with as many people as we possibly can.
Right now things look really bleak to most people, and we are seeing things that we have never seen before.
For example, the top of the Empire State Building has been made to look like a “spinning” red siren light…
The Empire State Building debuted what appeared to be a spinning red ‘siren’ light atop the iconic structure in what many observers saw as a dystopian sign of the times. Scientist Rita J. King explained that the light was not actually spinning but was made to look that way.

So many people are going to fall into depression and despair in the weeks ahead, and what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.
But it is critical to remember that God knew about all of this in advance, He is in control, and He has a plan to bring us through this.
It is during times of great crisis that we find out who we really are.
The past several weeks have been very challenging, and President Trump is warning that we are heading into “a hell of a bad two weeks”…
President Donald Trump prepared Americans for a coming surge in coronavirus cases, calling COVID-19 a plague and saying the U.S. is facing a “very, very painful two weeks.” “This could be a hell of a bad two weeks. This is going to be a very bad two, and maybe three weeks. This is going to be three weeks like we’ve never seen before,” Trump said at a White House press conference Tuesday. White House officials are projecting between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths in the U.S. with coronavirus fatalities peaking over the next two weeks. “When you look at night, the kind of death that has been caused by this invisible enemy, it’s incredible.”
It will be very interesting to watch how the American people respond to this nightmare.
Will we respond with humility and brokenness, or will we stubbornly remain on the same path that we were going down before this pandemic started?
This is one of the most critical junctures in our history, and nothing will be the same from this point forward.

The global coronavirus lockdown is a ‘misguided social experiment’ which threatens to do far more long term damage than the disease itself. We need to get back to work.
So argue two professors — one of public affairs, the other of economics — in a trenchant editorial for Jerusalem Post.
They claim:
Citizens of many countries throughout the world have recently become human subjects in a grand social science experiment that is being conducted without our informed consent.
The unintended consequences of current lockdown policies may include a surge in domestic violence and suicide and a ‘self-inflicted economic and psychological depression, hoisted upon us by an unholy triumvirate of public health officials, the media and politicians.’
The authors of the piece are Donald S Siegel, foundation professor and director at the School of Public Affairs, Arizona State University; and Robert M Sauer, professor of economics at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Italy ’ s 10 % mortality rate has been one of the most disturbing mysteries of the global pandemic .

newswars--2020-04-01--Report: China’s Wet Markets Are Still Selling Bats, Dogs And Cats

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday highlighted a report from the Daily Mail revealing how Chinese wet markets are still selling bats , cats and dogs for people to eat .
From The Daily Caller , “ Tucker Carlson : ‘ China Continues To Threaten The Rest Of Us With Wet Markets ’ ” Chinese wet markets , where all sorts of unusual animals — from bats to cats to scorpions — are sold to consumers as food , have long been considered a breeding ground for exotic viruses .
Despite the fact that such markets were consideredground zero @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emerged over the weekend that wet markets have been reopened in major cities across China .
“ Well , we still don ’ t know where the coronavirus came from originally in Wuhan , and anyone who tells you we are certain of that is lying to you , ” Carlson said .
“ But many people believe it could have originated in the wet market in Wuhan .
That ’ s a place where consumers buy the meat of wild animals to eat including bats .
Wild animal wet markets have long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday highlighted a report from the Daily Mail revealing how Chinese wet markets are still selling bats, cats and dogs for people to eat.
Half the world is sheltering in place, yet thousands of Chinese flock back to the country’s wet markets to eat bats, cats, dogs, and scorpions. What in the world is wrong with that picture? Tucker Carlson hammers down:https://t.co/KCrBT3SS65 pic.twitter.com/35PKNKoVLq — Scott Morefield (@SKMorefield) March 31, 2020
From The Daily Caller, “Tucker Carlson: ‘China Continues To Threaten The Rest Of Us With Wet Markets’”
Chinese wet markets, where all sorts of unusual animals — from bats to cats to scorpions — are sold to consumers as food, have long been considered a breeding ground for exotic viruses. Despite the fact that such markets were consideredground zero for the novel coronavirus outbreak, reports emerged over the weekend that wet markets have been reopened in major cities across China. “Well, we still don’t know where the coronavirus came from originally in Wuhan, and anyone who tells you we are certain of that is lying to you,” Carlson said. “But many people believe it could have originated in the wet market in Wuhan. That’s a place where consumers buy the meat of wild animals to eat including bats. Wild animal wet markets have long been recognized as a major pandemic threat. As coronavirus spread, China announced it would crack down on them, obviously, but it looks like the crackdown didn’t last long. According to Daily Mail, across China, wet markets are reopening and selling the same animals that they did before.” The Fox News host listed two major cities, one where “dogs and cats are both for sale as food” and another with “a stand selling traditional Chinese medicines advertises things like lizards, scorpions, and, yes, bats.”
Jeff Nyquist joins The Alex Jones Show to expose the biological war started by China launched against the West, and what else is expected in the future.
“The markets have gone back to operating in exactly the same way as they did before coronavirus. The only difference is that security guards try to stop anyone taking pictures which would never have happened before.” https://t.co/zOCRFntiCh — Mike (@Doranimated) March 31, 2020

This appeal is truly resonating with the people , ” the vice PM said .
“ Early on , if the WHO had not insisted to the world that China had no pneumonia epidemic , then everybody would have taken precautions .
The WHO , which is a global organization , does not even include Taiwan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a member of the WHO , it becomes a world leader in fighting the epidemic , ” Taro Aso continued .
