I'll say here what I said on Twitter:
All presidents have used the pardon tool to pardon those who should have stayed in jail. Clinton did it, Obama did it, Bush did it and now Trump is doing it. I disagree with his pardons, but he's not the first to do this. What I'd like to see is the pardon going away completely.

The Acting Director of National Intelligence warned House lawmakers that Russia is interfering with US elections, trying to keep Trump in office, and was promptly fired by Trump for making that information known.

It has begun!
I have always hated the stock market. Companies care more about enriching shareholders then customers.

NOW. They didn't used to. It used to be an accurate reflection of the economy as a whole. It used to be that a company recognized that it had an active interest in promoting the well-being of its workers and the community.
That’s because shareholders care more about enriching shareholders than customers, and that’s the way they tend to vote for board members at the shareholder meetings, which means that executives who prioritize the company over the shareholders tend to get fired.

Maybe it used to be that way, but it has not been that way for a long time now. What I hate most is just the fact how much it all happens based on whims. We could be fine right now, but some investors get spooked by things like the coronavirus, they sell, the market drops, more sell, and it all just starts to collapse. Before you know it thousands are losing their jobs so all those CEOs can keep their yearly bonus.
Honestly, as much as I know it's going to hurt a lot of people right now, I am kind of glad this is hitting NOW. I had a huge fear should Bernie make it out as the front runner and actually win in the general election, that the market was going to crash anyways. All the stock traders and share holders would just dump all their investments, either because of "socialist" economy fears or even forcing a big enough crash to scare people off Bernie's policies. Let's get through some of this now so we can move forward with hopefully a fresh start next year. A guy can dream, right?

I'll repeat myself: There are going to be a lot of deaths.
5% to 20% of people get the flu each year. The mortality rate varies, but generally is about <0.1% And those numbers track for annual flu deaths. 5 - 20% of the US population getting the flu, with 1 in 1,000 dying would give between ~19,000 and ~74,000 deaths per year in the US.
Experts are saying that COVID-19 is much more infectious than the flu, and predict that 40% - 70% of the world population will contract it, and it's deadlier than the flu, too. If only 40% of the US population gets it, and it has only a 0.9% mortality rate.... That's 1,340,000 deaths in the US alone. If we go with the higher range, with 70% infection, and 3.4% mortality... 8,870,000 deaths.
This is NOT the flu.
