[quote=FlyerInHi]All the signs point to a recession coming.
Since it takes 2 quarters of negative growth before a recession is declared, I’m thinking one will be announced sometimes in 2020. We will see….[/quote]

Well, I for one think you should be congratulated. We certainly seem to be on track for a recession in 2020.

You didn’t nail the reason, but then again who could?

It certainly could be that folks were looking for a reason to sell, thinking like you did that it was about time for a dip, and the coronavirus gave them the perfect excuse.

You went on record with a well-defined prediction and it appears you’re on track.

Well played, FIH.

[quote=flu]Looks like Sleepy Joe is romping Bernie in Michigan. Good.

Whomp! There it is!

I feel tad better now. For awhile I was thinking the Dems had joined the Reps in going off the deep end.

But it looks like there are enough moderates who felt they were gonna get Berned so they got out to vote to put things on the right course.

The sun is shining again.

How did we all miss this gem? You post a few dozen times nearly every single day for over 10 years and you don’t have time to read your old stuff?[/quote]

You just beat me to it. I was about to say the same thing.

[quote=flu][quote=svelte]I saw a video where some asians, korean I think, were starting to click the sides of their shoes together as a greeting. It looked kinda fun actually![/quote]

yup. retarded imho. but I guess if it floats their boat.[/quote]

Eh, might as well have a lil fun with the situation…can’t change it, might as well lighten the mood!

[quote=FlyerInHi]Svelte, you forgot to say “please move forthwith and stay away. I’m sure some of us will help you pack.”

I’m being facetious.[/quote]

I don’t really care if s/he stays or goes.

I’m just wondering why someone would put themselves in a situation where they are so bitter and unhappy.

Facetious – is that your new favorite word? You’ve used it in at least two threads in the last 24 hours.

[quote=NeetaT]OK, so I guess the people writing these articles should also leave CA. All they are doing is calling out an avaricious / profligate government. The California Policy Center is assessing CA in real time.[/quote]

I didn’t say you should leave, I asked why you live here.

The fact is there are 49 other states and surely one of them is closer to your ideals. Why don’t you live there?

I know a family right now who is not happy with CA so they are moving to the Texas coast. They are taking action on their dissatisfaction. Personally I think they’ll find a whole nuther set of things to be unhappy about, but maybe not.

I think it was Will Rogers who said most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be.

You may not be aware of this, but Gavin Newsom very likely doesn’t read Piggington.

You’d be better off emailing him or his office directly. Or better yet, the California Attorney General because what Gavin actually said was that he would request that the Attorney General look into it.

Why in the hell do you live in California? You never have anything good to say about it that I can recall.

My buddy in Tokyo sent me pics today of people on the streets of Tokyo wearing masks….and walking their dogs who also had masks on.

[quote=FlyerInHi]spdrun, maybe you should be for UBI instead of expanding the social safety net.
You could take your UBI and spend it in Prague.
However, i’m sure UBI would for US residents only and there would be a limit on how long you could be away.
People who manage their money well could save the UBI and invest it to grow their wealth.

With automation and AI, UBI will become necessary at some point. Or some kind of paid national service, perhaps. Andrew Yang will be seen as a visionary.

What is so funny about your whole approach to things Brian is that you really express Ayn Rand’s objectivist point of view. What’s good for me is good for society.

Yet you profess to be a Democrat.

[svelte]

Then we agree on this point, Brian.

And as a society we do need to agree on what the public pays for. We’ll never totally agree of course, but that’s life.

[quote=FlyerInHi]Luxembourg is the first country to make public transport free. That’s really good.

Misnomer. It’s not free. Someone is paying for that infrastructure and service.

I’m thinking of heading to Home Depot to pick up a couple day laborers.

Think about how much can go wrong removing a 60 ft tree.

It could fall through your house, your neighbor’s house, cars, people walking by.

A worker could get hurt and sue you.

Penny wise and pound foolish on this one.

i second gzz.

Tree maintenance folks are the flakiest I’ve seen. If you get one, hold on to them.
