    You missed my point. I was disagreeing with the assertion that prescription drugs are always used by for it's intended purpose by it's intended party.

    I see issues with both sides.
    Cons: The extent possible language needs some specificity attached.
    Dems: Offering loan forgiveness ONLY if 90% of staff is kept is a tough ask for the hardest hurt. (Think restaurants.)

    You really think epidemiologists and medical doctors are somehow against reality? You think medical experts are sharing unsubstantiated doom in order to attract attention? The "disastrous" decisions being made are based upon information from well-informed experts. Mutz just provided you will a table showing the severity of viral growth. Is that not a matter of straight up reality?

    Gotcha. I think we all agree here. Get the best drugs out as quick as possible. Have Dr's and Rx monitor distribution, trust people like we do with any drugs, knowing that a minority will self destruct.

    That website is apparently wonky during the day. Check back tonight around 11:00 PM EST for the "true" numbers.

    Govt creates crisis, govt argues how to handle said crisis, govt pats themselves on back for glorious bipartisan solution for said crisis. Rinse and repeat, only this time, according to @96Gatorcise link, the IRS can't put the money where their mouth is this time.

    I don't think that it is wonky as much as it is constantly updating its numbers during the day so you see the shifting percentages.

    Nah last night it said the US new deaths for the day was 89 (around 8:00 PM EST), then when all the numbers were finally in it updated those numbers to 46 (around 11:00 PM EST). I really don't know what the purpose is of having a running front page with constantly updated results if those results aren't accurate.

    Truth is we likely don't really have a "smaller IRS". We just eliminated tedious jobs over the years because of digital platforms, eFile, TurboTax, HR block etc do a lot of the work these days. The same amount of fat is just on a smaller pig these days.

    I will say this, People are giving Trump crap for not enacting the NDA yet, but he said yesterday and this is an example. Companies have been voluntarily changing over production to help with what their company can do best. No need to force something id companies are doing it willingly.

    File this under “things that infuriate you”:



    How does a store let someone do this?

    Again I'd be cautious posting these numbers until the end of the day. Just my $.02 though.

    Yeah I would be calling corporate. That is ridiculous. The lady is 100% right that these dickbags are going to go elsewhere and sell it for ridiculous prices.
