    The great thing about congress is they are immune from insider trading laws. That said, @GrandpaSankey saw this coming.

    This board was still in denial that this was a real crisis up until a week ago.
    It's not a real crisis. It's a manufactured crisis that is costing lives so its real in that sense.
    I don’t know. Depends on how you define “crisis.” A viral pandemic with no established vaccine or effective treatment that is particularly harmful to elderly patients sounds like a crisis to me.

    Is that not what this is? I mean, I’ll be fine, I won’t lose my job or any money I can’t recoup, but it sure does stink for those that are affected by it. But I guess they made bad financial decisions not to prepare themselves for this, so it’s not really a crisis.


    You mean like H1N1 in 2009?

    Besides the China virus, we have a flu that infects millions and kills thousands of elderly a year, we have an vaccine and a huge number of the population shrugs their their shoulders and makes up reason why they don’t bother to get the vaccine. The altruistic bullshit by hypocrites I’m seeing is nauseating
    I mean, H1N1 had a morality rate of .02% whereas COVID has one of 2%. That seems like an increase, but that’s me. Apparently H1N1 is also less contagious? But that was just a science article I read. Moreover, herd immunity against H1N1 and the normal flu seems to have been built up prior to 2009 since people did get regular flu vaccines and 2009 wasn’t the first instance of an H1N1 virus.

    Lots of unknowns for COVID so far. But I mean, that’s me.
    That 2% rate is going to go way down as more are tested.

    The hypocrite part is that in 2009 no one gave a shit that millions were getting sick and thousands dying. Business as usual. No for some reason it’s a panic and we need to bankrupt people In an “abundance of caution”. The cure will cost more than the disease.
    Sure, once the tests are available.

    I think people cared but you didn’t hear about it as you do now because the media wasn’t available. Altruism for people affected by this pandemic didn’t just start now, it’s that people are more able to express it because they’re confident it’ll be heard. It’s like Trump’s base.

    Anyway, the good news is that the majority seem not to be turned off by others’ compassionate responses to this. I like that.
    Not one word about the swine flu in the 2010 state of the union address. Why?

    Your emotional and feelings based approach is noted and received. Glad it wasn't a thing in 2009. At least it bought us 10 years of prosperity
    And I suppose your choice to be bothered by it! We are good at compromises.

    Lol, Burr was one of two NO votes: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=2&vote=00014


    Crazy he saw this democrat lead shutdown ahead of everyone else. Did he not realize it's just the flu too?

    how the hell do you think all those bastards come out become millionaires?@YellowSnow

    There is no need to get upset about it- then you would become an anarchist, libertarian, or dread the thought, like the OP

    I'm not upset at all. Just pointing out how this idea that the reaction to the virus is a left wing plot to take down Trump is fucking stupid but of course the Tugtards swallowed it whole.

    Btw, your favorite Fox News blowhard thinks Burr should resign

    Why are you sucking off a Fox News blowhard? You Libs are so confused, you don't even know who's dick to suck.

    Surprising, given your expertise on the subject.

    It's wasn't. And isn't.

    The government shutting down the economy and the media fanning the flames is the crises. Inflicted by the stroke of a government pen and cheered on gleefully by the media.
    So is this a whoosh or what? They aren’t immune. Any Sen who attended briefings and then dumped stock should be prosecuted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act

    This is how fucked the media is. Seconds ago saw this on the CBS Morning Show - I watch that because Dr. Tara Narula gives me a boner but I digress....

    News Bimbo:

    "There is no evidence the Senators traded on insider information".

    WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK?!/?

    They were briefed on a pending national emergency and immediately liquidated their positions. Sure...just a coincidence.

    Fuck off, bitch. Lying cunt.

    Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite are rotating in their crypts..

    Are you implying like the lying cunt on CBS Morning show that the Senators just needed some liquidity? Purely coincidental?

    Keith Jackson wouldn't put up with this shit either.

    I think I need a handie from Julie Haener to show lack of bias by dawg media members. Or Monica Hart. Either works.

    Edit: Holy shit. Found it. Mad Props to our noble savage @Swaye even if he only tapped that in his collegiate fantasies. The pic with her on a horse wearing those tight ass english riding pants and boots with the caption "Can't wait to get back in the saddle again" damned near cause premature ejaculation..... Fuck me.
