It's interesting times, when Microsoft become "The good Guys™"...

Wasn't there a joke in Futurama where Fry mentions Bill Gates and someone responds with "The guy who cured HIV"?

Does anyone else want to see donnie and jared's diplomas in these different things? My first degree was physics but even with a bs I had my specialties ... I would be the first one to admit I know fuck all about, oh, biophysics.

Probably as he is into health stuff. He did an interview with the daily show last night where Trevor pointed out he did a ted talk that was pretty exactly about covid-19.

Banks warn of chaotic launch of small business lending program

They're concerned that the expectations the administration has publicly set are unrealistic.

www.politico.com

The lenders complain that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin boxed them in with an unrealistic deadline and that the ground rules they've been given for the program, which is intended to deliver rapid aid to a huge number of ailing businesses, could delay the assistance for weeks or longer.

The banks, which will be responsible for processing loan applications and doling out money, are expecting millions of applications from businesses. Some fear a disaster that could dwarf the failed kickoff of the Obamacare enrollment web site in 2013.

Maybe I’m blind but I didn’t see it mention in there where some of the materials to make the masks come from.

Well, would you expect Agent Orange to know what a supply chain is?

I would not be surprised if Canada in turn forbids exporting technical papers to the US ("We need it for masks")

Oil price too low? No worries, Trump is working on it to make it rise again! (Basically he admitted defeat to protect the fracking oil industry in America which is not profitable with a too low oil price that's the realistic point of view.)


His masters approve:

So for one time - despite being a total moron and utterly selfish - he accidentally does the right thing?

Now donnie refuses to set an example and follow cdc guidance about masks. What ever happened to him hating germs?

 

[Innula Zenovka]

 

[Kara Spengler]

When did donnie start spelling out covid19? At least he did not say one nine for nineteen.

 

[Jolene Benoir]

Says the man who stated that the illness was a "democratic hoax", then that it was just one person from China, then that it was under control, leading people to die due to his inaction.

Unlikely.

It depends on your own point of view... if you are just a consumer and want cheap fuel on gas stations then no.

if you want to protect the American fracking industry because it is unprofitable when the oil price is way too low then yes. If you want to give e-mobility an edge then yes. If you don't want that states which primariliy depend on oil income become instable like Russia and Saudi Arabia then yes. If you don't want to drink in oil because many countries have not decreased their oil production to meet the radical decreased demand then yes.

Overall it makes quite much sense to end this price war, yes.
