  1. The average high on Sat May 9th is 65 degs for Buffalo. We may not make it out of the 30s. That's incredible cold. Sep 30th the average high is 65.
  2. A nice page to show what's going on in Russia. Doesn't look too good over there.
  3. If China's labor force becomes too expensive we will just find another country to supply cheap labor. (Mexico) This is what capitalism does. It's been going on for centuries. I love watching shark tank and the first thing the sharks say when the cost of manufacturing is too high, they say go to China or Mexico. No one ever mentions opening up facilities in the US.
  4. This is a really good point. Same thing can be said with immigrants doing tasks for very low wages that most Americans want nothing to do with. I see loads of it where my uncle lives in south Florida. Not that I agree that it's right, wages should be based on supply and demand.
  5. A security guard is shot and killed after telling customer to put on a face mask https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/us/michigan-security-guard-mask-killing-trnd/index.html
  6. THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC DECLINE https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3855327/
  7. I honestly don't know enough about the trade wars to make a comment aside from us needing to do something about literally everything being made in China. I want our country to start making more products instead of relying entirely on the servicing industry.
  8. Think about this. Canadas GDP is 1.7 trillion, Californias is 2.75 trillion. Canada is giving their unemployed workers $2k a month for 6 months. USA can go into debt because we still have the safest debt in the world. If the USA fails the entire world fails. China desperately wants to change that fact. They want to be number 1 badly. I love what Trump did to them these last few years.
  9. The $600 is taxable my wife gets it. She gets $525 with tax taken out. Stimulus I believe is untaxed.
  10. All income is taxable except HSAs used for health expenses and social security income if you make under a certain amount each year. I think these are the only 2? Are there any other sources of income that aren't taxed?
  11. If I'm not allowed to travel all year I plan to remodel my kitchen, bathroom, and fix my fence. I'll be helping the local contractors, lowes, home depot, and walmarts of the world. All of the money will be reinvested back into the market.
  12. Exactly. The major factor in allowing the USA to have such a great economy is the fact that none of us save any money and spend spend spend. It helps drive corporate earnings higher and higher and then they increase dividends and reinvest in new tech and on and on we go.
  13. Maybe our national debt means very little in the grand scheme of things? Since we are the most powerful country in the world. The weakening of our dollar won't occur when the entire globe is also experiencing a weakening of their own currency. The USA GDP is so large that when we do bad the world does bad and vice versa. We are on our own little shielded island.
  14. There are not rent/mortgage cancellations. Mortgage payments are allowed to be added on to the end of the loan. Rent I am not sure about. What are the laws for this in NYS? My dads tenants are not paying, I know that. Do they get added on to the end of the lease?
  15. It looks like it only has democratic support, doubt it gets passed.
  16. This is the type of thing to jump start the economy. Americans love to spend. The recession will be short lived if something like this passes. Corporate earnings will come back stronger then ever. The only negative is an increase in national debt.
  17. In the last 10 years I've never had the flu in the summer. I think I caught the common cold 1-2 times though.
  18. I guess the same way in which the flu season exists all year, but really only emanates itself in winter. Maybe that's due to more people inside in winter, more close contact, or the virus having a tough time surviving outside in comparison to indoors. However it may be Australia has 95 deaths in the last 3 months, while New York with a population of 19.5 million has almost 25,000.
