    Someone probably mentioned to him that the Roaring 20s followed the 1918 Pandemic while neglecting to mention to him that little thing that followed the Roaring 20s.

    Had 4 bark scorpions in the house when we first moved in in October. Haven’t seen one since, but I guess they are not active in winter. Coyotes, bobcats, javelina’s, scorpions, rattlesnakes...it’s been an adjustment. Really enjoying experiencing a new ecosystem though.

    The issue, I think, is that you have to go to a hospital first to be evaluated. If they determine you don’t have COVID or one of the other 48 conditions, then you can, possibly, go to the ship. However, there is a heightened chance you caught COVID at the hospital.

    Any "essential employees" on here that have regular interaction with coworkers/customers but not in the medical profession? How do you disinfect before going back into your place? What about those of you that are in the medical profession?

    and for the record he will not count as a coronavirus death because the UK didn’t test him and he died at home. Both of those are groups that get squeezed out of the “official” numbers.

    I think most are shipping a lot of freight. That’s what makes us money. Tickets for passengers cover fuel, drinks, snacks, labor. Most the profits come from cargo. And these days were shipping a lot of medical supplies, blood, tests, anything that needs to get somewhere really.

    Masks and PPE are still regular coming in from suppliers

    The PPE company I work for got N95’s last week, we are getting an absurd amount of disposable gloves in two weeks.

    We have marked a percentage for donation to the medical field but the rest will go to our customers in our normal supply chain which serves the construction market.

    I guess in theory the government could seize our products, pay us market prices, and distribute out 100% to the medical field.

    Id prefer this, I’m hating getting calls from my construction distributors looking for products for XYZ hospital.

    yesterday it was lots of first responders requests, I guess city of Columbus police have nothing left or very little in terms of ppe. Which between Covid and Fentanyl is a bad combo

    this is unfortunately what needs to happen at this point. It’s clear that there isn’t another workable way (with this government at least) to get this done.

    the distributors who are price gouging though should be removed from the process and publicly shamed. Not saying your company but there are companies who are price gouging during an emergency which is completely unacceptable even by our countries low standard of corporate ethics.

    Private equity funds lobbied for the original $500B bailout fund but none of it will go directly to them. They will indirectly benefit when companies they invested in get access to those funds. Not the smoking gun that the first tweet implies.

    its basically saying we fucked up, can you please fix it for us. I work in asset management and whilst id love for every single company i invest in to get a huge ass bailout id be hardpressed to find any solid justification unless every retail, food industry, lodging/hotels/resorts/etc, nail salons, hair dressers etc all get a cut before that

    It’s still early in the process. They will investigate before they charge anyone with anything.

    For example, if she is going to claim her investment advisor did it without her knowledge, they will subpoena and review her/husband phone records, emails, etc to see if calls were made.

    Common Cause already filed ethics complaints, which typically trigger a duty to investigate.

    It's not just that one
    According to her latest financial disclosure, which the senator provided to the AJC, her largest transaction involved the sale of $18.7 million in Intercontinental Exchange stock in three separate deals dated February 26 and March 11. Intercontinental Exchange operates global exchanges for several financial and commodity markets — and since Loeffler made her first sale, its stock has fallen by 16 percent.

    Raising questions, however, is the fact that beyond Intercontinental Exchange, the couple also sold stock from other companies ultimately affected by the coronavirus, including a combined $155,000 or so from retailers Ross Stores, TJX Cos. (the parent corporation for T.J. Maxx and Marshalls), and upscale athletic-apparel company Lululemon over the same period of time.

    And as Loeffler and Sprecher made those sales, a number of stocks added to their portfolio have seen gains as the Covid-19 crisis deepens. For instance, the couple obtained $206,777 in shares of chemical giant Dupont, which produces critical protective gear to combat transmission of the virus, in four separate transactions in late February and early March. They also acquired shares in telecommuting company Citrix on January 24 — again, the same day the Senate Health Committee held a private meeting about the coronavirus.

    Intercontinental Exchange stock is a wholly different issue, because she and her husband are deemed insiders with regard to those trades regardless of her Senate position because her husband is CEO.

    Federal securities laws provide automatic disgorgement of any profits if they traded on inside nonpublic info.

    Most executives take fairly elaborate steps to set up preschedule sales in advance of actual sales to cash any stock option payments and avoid disgorgement. For example, you set s date beyond the statutory period in advance and state you will sell on that date.

    But then again, that whole party is a den of thieves and grifters, so maybe they are that stupid or brazen.

    I have done my best to stay apart from them best I can when at a job site. Then hand sanitizer right after and then wash my hands when I get to the office. In the office we are wiping things down after anyone comes in, which we have tried to severely limit.
