That's a lot of amenities. Must be palatial inside, like Paul Allen's yacht.


We were in St. Bart a few years ago during yacht week. Our ship was tendered there, as was Allen's and that HUGE one from Russia.


The day before New Year's Eve, the Russian had the Rolling Stones play live on his ship. Then, on New Year's Eve, U2 played. We could hear them from our ship. Unreal, some of the money that's out there.

It is unreal. And it's unreal how many of them there actually are with that sort of money. Very few people if any should honestly have that kind of money. Sad thing is most of the people with that kind of money in this country now do nothing to actually earn it through creating new and innovating products. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs- guys like that are incredibly rare birds. For every one of them that acquired extreme wealth through doing something truly unique and innovative and changing the world- there are idiots that became a billionaire like Jamie Dimon just by working at a bank.

Most guys nowadays that have stupid money have that money because they play games with money and stocks. You can include executives and CEO's of large multinationals in that lot. All they did the last decade was buyback shares of their own companies in record fashion. And why? To inflate the share price of their companies stock. Why? Because their compensation is directly tied to the stock price. Brilliant idea there! Tie executive compensation to share price! The deregulation and finacialization of the economy has had disastrous effects for the middle class of this country. There really isn't a middle class anymore. Common folk just keep getting wiped out while the rich become richer.

Google Steven A. Cohen, SAC Capital. He's worth oh, only $14 billion- and that's after he was fined $2 billion by the federal gov't. This dude built a hedge fund empire through manipulation of stocks and insider trading. I knew his brother in passing, he's a big CPA for medical Dr.'s. Anyway, back to Steven A. Cohen- dude is a straight up criminal and all he got was a slap on the wrist from the federal gov't. He was fined just under $2 billion and the mf'er is STILL worth $14 billion and never served a day in jail. He was barred from the feds from handling money for outsiders again.

The government of this country has failed it's people in just about every single way from the 1980's to 2020. And the people in this country today are nothing but a bunch of whining snowflakes with zero backbone.

If I could kick him as hard as I possibly can in the dick I would. I would pay good money for that.

I'll chip in a benjamin to watch you kick him 

That doesn't surprise me in the least.  Just matter of factly.

Tell me how I'm wrong, don't just get pissy about it.

not believing this a tall
many of the green areas out west, there isn't a grocery store or toilet paper outlet in 10 miles

Here's the story

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/02/us/coronavirus-social-distancing.html

The map is when "average miles traveled per day" dropped below 2.

It's aggregate. So if some people still have to go to an office, or they have to drive 6 miles to the grocery store, but most people comply with the stay at home order and the one who drives to the grocery store only does it once a week and combines it with all their other weekly errands instead of going out every day, the average can come down even if you live more than 2 miles from the store.

As mentioned, my wife has to with every day and her office is 12 miles away. So our average, as a couple, is well over 2 miles per day. But our average is far lower than it typically would be, because outside of the necessary trips we've cut out the unnecessary ones.

It is unreal. And it's unreal how many of them there actually are with that sort of money. Very few people if any should honestly have that kind of money. Sad thing is most of the people with that kind of money in this country now do nothing to actually earn it through creating new and innovating products. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs- guys like that are incredibly rare birds.

Projections of when COVID will peak in the US (midmonth).  The height of the peak is subject to ... um, some uncertainty.

It could be quite bad, really bad, really really bad, or historically awful.

There have been quite a few articles on MSM that seek to discredit the IHME model. They even cite experts.

All models are wrong, some models are useful.  I don't know of a better model even if this one is off.

I dashed out to Kroger, they are OUT of the usual stuff that comes from Central America, out.  They were running low on other stuff as well.  This was during the hour reserved for old folks and most shoppers were 30ish.

About half were wearing masks or scarves of some sort.
