So ... The US Should Hit the 1 Million Mark Today

I don't know what to say about that. I wonder why no one is doing anything about 'the cause' of this plague.

Bunches of us have reported to ATS that we suspect we were infected. Most of us would say we went undiagnosed. I wonder if maybe a few absent members were taken from us. Without real numbers ... we don't know anything about the true severity of the pandemic.

But it feels like there's something bigger that's yet to emerge from all of this. Our economy is in tatters (actually has been for quite some time)..

Do ya think President Trump might declare Jubilee? ... Simply erase all debt? End taxes on Income and Property? Retaliating against the Chinese doesn't look like it's in the cards for this President. He's gonna have to do something drastic as he leads us into Depression 2.0.

It 'feels' like he's lost any chance to succeed at re-election. I've got no desire to go to the polls and vote for him. If I stay home, my wife stays home ... nobody will motivate my kids to vote ... That's exactly how 0bama got elected (twice). The Dems own 2020 at this point. It is only theirs to lose. I might have to vote 'against' their candidate ... so Creepy Joe better choose wisely.

Two big swathes ... Am I off in my thinking?

1 million what? Can you be specific?

I'm assuming "tested" cases, which is about 1/10th or 20'th of the real cases.

But it's a big number, the news will run it hard and use it to lock down most of the country til July, suffocating most rural areas into submission and hoping to swing plebes into welcoming massive gov over reach and hopefully removing trump from office, for all our own good of course.

Great. But you are assuming. I asked the op to be specific so we do not have to assume or guess what he is talking about.

Sorry. A million COVID-19 confirmed cases.

Regardless of the initial cause, the progression of the epidemic in the US had nothing to do with any other country.

Several test have shown large amounts of urban populations to have antibodies.

Testing is only confirming people on a test by test basis, testing would never be proactive in a case count, only ever attempting to catch up to the logical infection rate.

I'm not assuming much. A pinch of logic and rationality, vs a tub of lard(stupidity) when it comes to a reactionary protocol.

I'm sure your mileage may vary.....

I can grant you that. What happened in America is academic.

I would like to get to the initial cause though. Don't know if we can without jumping to a common sense conclusion. If that conclusion is reached, we may see extremely grave repercussions.

Stop it with being rational in a doom porn thread.

I was personally trying to figure out the flavor that induced the OP....

If it was me it would be either be a cheap bourbon or...

A Bacardi product.

That stuff always makes me kray-kray.

So a Jubilee and a Biden win and Depression 2.0 would be right there.

I'm enjoying a Belgian beer and glass of Knob Creek (neat).

It's late. Am wondering what direction this thread's gonna go. LOL

a reply to: ZapBrannigan3030

K? Without sources to numbers all I see is blah blah blah. The op mentioned "real numbers". "Bunches", "most", "few" doesn't cut it for me. You assuming what he meant (you said it)...1/10th 1/20th...nobody really knows the "real" numbers or a big number as your said...I need more than assumptions.

Stop it

I'm pretty close, if not right there. I just don't care anymore.

I'm full on Darwinism/Nihilism on the whole ordeal at this point.

Everyone has their corner, everyone has chosen their fate. Just don't expect me to share my BBQ peppered squirrel with your ignorant ass(not you, metaphorically) when this all comes crashing down.

How about thinking for yourself, it's the hardest one to find.

Is a jubillee even possible in this place and time? I need to research this. Only thing I know about the conceot is something the Israelites did every seven years or something like that.

So you are just pulling numbers out of your butt. Great.

a reply to: ZapBrannigan3030

I'm kinda right their with ya. I've picked my mountain, and I'll probably die on it, but all this talking about food and beer has got me hungry.

I think I'm going to pick up my favorite nut brown ale. Squirrel sounds pretty good too now that you mention it. I'm more of a lemon pepper guy myself though.

a reply to: Blueracer

It's not that, but it's about a lineage.

I can't lay out for you, months of knowledge that a intelligent person would digest. It's dozens, hundreds of sources, talking points, counter points, attempted exploits and disinfo being dissected over weeks if not months.

I don't have a time machine, i can't take you back in time and walk you down the path while explaining every step to you.

Sorry, I don't have a single link to give you all the answers. Most of us have had to read hundreds and piece it together over not just months, but years.

I wish you had done that, but since you haven't, I'm not going to go back and do it for you. I certainly can't just give you one link in hopes of you catching up on years of info.

Sorry, but as a door prize, I will go back on what I said and give you a piece of this peppered BBQ squirrel I have just cooked up.

I'd clear the neighborhood trees when I was a kid and my mom would make a huge pot of Brunswick Stew. They call it Burgoo around here, and they Do know how to cook!!

Well by the time they use a COVID-19 infected test kit we may easily surpass the one million mark ! (kinda sarc)

Snarl this might be our first disagreement but I can not see Biden winning even if he picks (never been proud of America) Michelle Obama as his V.P.

I am not even sure Biden can make it to election time before he starts crapping his pants and forgetting how to swallow during eating.

The Dems might have something in the woodwork that will surprise us all, but with people like Pelosi, Schiff, and other burned out bulbs of the Democratic party I would not bet on them winning anything but maybe the Darwin award.

We will see one way or the other come election time if not before; in the meantime have one on me....
