There is either total world economic collapse or we go "the fuck happened the past 3 weeks" and everything returns to normal...
I dont think there is a middle ground personally.
Im SHOCKED, beyond the stock markets, there hasnt already been complete world collapse, but I dont think anybody has missed a paycheck yet, as we just hit the 15th... NOW when the 1st paychecks dont go out...we will have problems...

We got till the end of March before the dust even starts to settle. Then we can see where the issue lies. Talk to you then.
Rich will get even richer than 2008 GFC. More liberties/freedoms lost. More control over the sheeple. World financial bubble bursts due to unsustainable debt, which means that if everyone handed over every single cent they have to pay off national debt there still wouldn't be enough to pay it off. Reserve banks only take what is tangible/worth anything to replace it with monopoly money electronically transferred to governments, no more printing. More people lost to health issues. Those are my thoughts. Call me crazy (my wife does, must be a Canadian thing) but watch this space. Won't get any better for the average Joe or Jane.

Here is one development I think you'll get a interest out of.
I was talking to one of my relatives in Australia that had just traveled a fair ways out of the big city to a smaller town way out in the bush to visit a sick relative in the hospital.
Apparently the local stores have plenty of supplies but are checking IDs and refusing to sell to people from the big cities and saving all their stock for locals. I guess a bunch of city folks started driving out to try to buy the small towns out of food and the locals decided to tell the city folks to go F..K Off, you don't like us and are always looking down on us... well get back to the city and enjoy your shortages you filthy city dwellers.
My relative was able to buy stuff as normal since she had paperwork showing she was there visiting a sick local relative and was born / grew up there, so they said close enough, you can buy stuff..... Including Toilet Paper!

A cashless society is one of their dreams. They will tell the sheeple to abandon cash because cash changing hands can transmit the virus. I'd rather die a free man. If it gets me, it gets me. If not, then life goes on.

It’s Jersey, I expect no less from the Gestapo police forces of that state. The state police uniforms even remind me of the German SS. But fuck ‘em, leftists in that state are getting what they vote for repeatedly.
Trump was a shoo-in for re-election with a booming economy. For socialists to win they have to destroy the economy, oh what luck a virus created in COMMUNIST China was released just in time for the elections. Then the Chinese send thousands of disease ridden, infected tourists all over the world to cough, hack, blow snot and puke all over people in every major country in Europe and North America.
Trying to stop disease ridden Chinese tourists is..........................................................RACIST.
Trying to check disease ridden Chinese tourists is........................................................RACIST.
Demanding the Chinese quarantine disease ridden Chinese citizens........................................RACIST.
No company on the NYSE was in severe financial trouble a month ago. No company on the NYSE was experiencing issues other than teething pains from growth..........................................suddenly they are all worth 60% less than 3 weeks ago because of a virus. Seriously?
So in six weeks, Democrats in league with communists in China have in fact crippled our economy.
Democrats in league with Chinese communists have convinced tens of millions of outright fucking idiots there is a shortage of toilet paper of all things and every jackass in the country is buying it by the ton.
No matter how many tests are produced by medical companies.......................................IT IS NOT ENOUGH for Democrats.
No matter how many people are safely treated and returned home..............................................................ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!
Uneducated asswipe reporters are screaming over actual medical professionals in endless pressers called to calm the masses of idiots sitting in their toilet paper forts worrying.................................no one listens to medical professionals.
This entire thing was contrived to elect Joe Biden. It is bad, but honestly drowning or slipping and falling will kill far more people this year.

I've got 26 weapons, 40k rounds of ammunition and a good 3 months supply of food along with a good stick of medical supplies. I could hold off a company of regulars if I needed to.
My mother is waiting on test results to see if she has the virus. I'm worried. She's 78 and has a host of medical issues including COPD..
Bar worries about family members and a couple of close friends I'm still good. Ireland has more or less shut down. Nearly 400k people have lost their jobs in the last 2_3 weeks. A lot of people very worried. I'm working for the FEDs now so I still have a job thankfully. A lot of scared people out there.
Me. I'm not too worried about catching it. Survived worse. Been shot twice, stabbed and blown up by a VBIED..

"This entire thing was contrived to elect Joe Biden."
Not sure I agree; who brought us back from the last economic disaster caused by President O’Shithead? Trump. Who better to bring us back from this one, O’Shithead-Light (Biden)? Or Trump. You could almost argue the opposite, that this was conceived by Trump loyalists to guarantee his re-election.
Take a second and explain why destroying four years worth of economic gains of the Trump administration would benefit Trump?
Or why a massive spike in unemployment in an election year would benefit Trump?
The thing we know for certain, only an idiot/democrat would try and claim this mess will benefit Trump. That logic is right up there with Hillary Clinton collecting $143,000,000 for the Clinton Foundation from various Russian oligarchs with ties to Putin and then Democrats claiming Russians "helped" Trump.

It doesn't benefit Trump, it doesn't benefit anyone which is the point; I seriously doubt this was artificially created to help Joe Biden.
You are out of your fucking mind...
I hate liberals/commies as much as anybody, but to think THE WHOLE WORLD is shutting down and bankrupting their economies just to get Trump from being re-elected... I got some ocean front property in Oklahoma to sell you...
The more plausible scenario is the world bankers having a hand in order to have more control as well as to "disappear" trillions of dollars worth of really really shitty bad debt... that I can get on board with. I think the shakeout in the financial markets and economies around the world is going to blow peoples minds what occurs. I dont think we have scratched the surface of "the fix".
I patrol a major tourist area in the eastern Sierra of California. All the ski resorts are closed, yet the turnout yesterday was crazy. Literally looked like June/July up there. Cali has a shelter in place order, but we aren’t enforcing it, and none of my people seem to relish the idea of enforcing it, or even how we would go about it. Anyway the people seem pretty happy. Stopped by a Raleys on the way home last night. First time in about a month. Looked remarkably normal, nothing like what I was expecting. They were stacked with fresh stuff as well.
It’s gonna take a lot more than this to get our society to descend into chaos. The only thing underperforming more than the stock market is people’s dire predictions for a massive collapse in society.

Everything here normal, save the restaurants. Lots of Ga people here shopping to stock their lake vacation places. Nothing anything like I'm reading in the big liberal shitholes. Everyone has been very polite, then again most around here have always carried, but now even the ones that only kept in in their ride have one on them with the one that was in the car now one them being replaced with much more firepower. Many have also started carrying backup comms as well. Guess it's just a redneck thing?
In terms of sick and dying, I am not sure what will happen. Our demographics, way of life and measures being taken may prevent many deaths but who is to say.
It is a "Novel" virus so we are still learning about it. It supposedly mutates more quickly than other strains so that may also prove difficult to combat.
The real effects of this thing will be economic and political. Not really sure how long the economy will be down because it is being controlled by the statistics. In the short term, it is likely that there will be more aggressive measures taken to keep the virus from spreading quickly. Whether these measures are needed or opportunistic is unknown to me. I see people doing a good job policing themselves and am not sure forced quarantine like in China is necessary or would cause more damage than benefit if implemented here. The long term damage is hard to understand because no one knows how much the government will "help" or what measures will be put in place to stimulate a recovery.
Will this hurt or benefit Trump...I can't see this benefiting Trump. The media and Biden will paint this to be a failure and John Q Public who has nothing to do now but watch the MSM could be brainwashed into believing it. Though many feel that rational thought will prevail, I am not so much a believer in the public's ability to weigh facts and formulate good decisions.
I hope I am wrong

In what context?
The financial markets have lost over 33% so far which is far greater than $2 trillion
Well, watch what gets included and who/what it benefits.
Most agree that following the money tends to shake things out...so lets follow the money once the cards have been placed on the table.
The most effective stimulus will be keeping those without work afloat and those they owe money to operating.
The gov actually needs to knuckle banks in to eating a shit sandwich for awhile.
Honest hard workers are going to be unable to make mortgage, rent, car. credit card, whatever payments have you.
Landlords will be screwed if their renters are not making payments and they have a mortgage to pay.
Its tar and feather time if banks start foreclosing or repo trucks are sent out in this shit.

It is like a domino train....working man aside...I am friends with a lot of small business owners of many types including tradesmen, restaurants and taverns, etc. They are really hurting and they have to pay for tools, buildings, etc. Even professional people are worried about the eventual layoffs that will occur, especially since they have been watching their retirement accounts get depleted
That is why I have said many times that the human toll in an economic sense will far exceed everything else.
The chemo-therapy is often worse than the cancer. Worth it when it works but never administered when unnecessary.
Met a chick going into DD the other day.
Making small talk it was "How you doing?
Her reply was she had just been laid off from one of her two jobs.
Hows this chick that has to work two service jobs going to stay afloat? Likely she will lose the other one, unsure how big a crew D'Angelo's has to run in this mess.
Im fortunate being in a career path that keeps me employed until the life boat has water up to the rails and we are all screwed anyway.
I was able to pay for her order which turned out to be one chocolate frosted donut.
Im having a feeling she will be relishing that donut as a fond memory of luxury if things dont change soon.
I think we are still wayyyy to early in this mess to know if this will help/hurt trump.
In some ways our unpreparedness fits squarely into what trump is selling.
Meaning US manufacturing and more self reliance with fair trade deals.
TBH, our being unprepared doesnt have much to do with Trump, or obama, or bush. Its more aggregared complatency and arrogance which carries over time. IMO, you really cant blame a single person, that just makes no sense at all.
Sure, leftists and their dnc proxy media will spin anyway they can. And there are likely legitimate criticisms as well.
However, I am actually starting to believe that you avg citizen has been forced to realize that such a heavy reliance on china is a bad thing. Will it change their habits...some, but enough...nope.
Govt will likely step in with mandates and incentives especially for what is deemed of national interest.
I know this bothers many, @pmclaine.

I know lots of service people in CA that work three jobs to make ends meet. Not a way I could live
I salute them.
Go getters.
The type that should be rewarded for their work.
I dont know what life choices they made that has them oriented to that path rather than in a 'career' path but thats kind of douchy to question.
Perhaps education, perhaps poor life choices they are working back from, perhaps no fault of their own.
Perhaps they are on the career path and just over extended their lifestyle - no sympathy from me there.
Its one reason Im a big proponent of trade training.
If the water starts coming over the rails my electrical wiring high school certificate still provides me skills that should allow me live on one job not three.
There are a shit-load of places hiring right now. Warehouses, stock people, drivers, checkout clerks, etc.
Not enough to offset, but there is employment to be had.
For example. Aldi's has 5000 openings right now. Even the entry level pays decent with ok benefits.
They end up in that role generally because of poor life choices. However, a common denominator that I have also seen is poor or no parental influence whether because the parents were not amounting to much or because they came from a broken home and left at an early age to get away.
Not much more to it than that.
I will say that they are some of the most genuine friends that I have.
If they make it to the big leagues like Morton's or an equivalent place, they can make an excellent living.

3M needs to fire up that 95N mask plant.
Word is distillers are switching to production of hand sanitizer/distilled cleaning products.
If this country mobilizes for this shit in an effort to make a buck, its always about the Benjamins, we will be dumping ventilators into the ocean in three weeks just to keep the prices up on the ventilators that are actually needed.

Amen and TBH it cant be faulted to profit at the same time. 3M could have made hand over fist if they could have even 1/2 way kept the supply up with the demand.
Another interesting aspect is how some companies will rethink inventories...and how the govt may play a role here as well. Perhaps offset some of cost of holding minimum inventory.
They fired half the company I work for on Friday. Well....just shy of half. It'll take two weeks to get their unemployment started and their health care insurance now doubles on COBRA. More than half of America lives paycheck to paycheck.
I'm standing by for shit to get real. Soon. My buddy in Italy tells me they are with holding treatment for those over 80 and hauling the bodies to the crematorium in convoys of military trucks. This is going to change the world like WWII and The Great Depression changed the world.
It won't go back the way it used to be. We'll be fine eventually but the next few months will lead to years worth of damage repair with a lot of companies done for good.
VooDoo
Looking at everything to-date,... to me this classifies as just another keystone event. There have been many thru out history, an nothing good has ever came from any of them.
Use HEPA filters and make your own mask out of coat hangars and HEPA filters...you can buy the filters everywhere
means to an end but not the endgame
shit will eventually start cascading from multiple directions until heads spin
until the world cries for peace and safety
shit will eventually start cascading from multiple directions until heads spin

3M is making money hand over fist sucky thing is China is deciding where it will come from and China is probably 51% owner of their China operations.
If the government has a National Inventory it needs to be a long the lines of the pre positioned ships the mil uses becuase other wise I see an inefficient operation rife with theft and it will fail when needed.
OR a parents poor life choice put these youth in a place where opportunities ran out, and the youth stay because they dont know how to leave the only comfort zone/safe place THEY recognize, and start over from scratch.
You or somebody said they couldnt live "that way", working 3 jobs.
If you had to choose btw the cardboard box under the bridge, vs 3 jobs, I'd work 4 shit jobs to avoid the box, and be proud of it.
Matter of perspective.
Fair points.
But 3M still did "miss out". Unless you can go purchase a n95 mask today...
Agree with much of the rest, which is why US govt will step-in like or not.
To answer the c-19 end game question,
The end of ANY game is to win. The size of the win depends on what you value most and how much you risk.
Your end game might be different from mine, in anything but surviving this shit.
Asking end game predictions of a world class event is gonna give a couple billion opinions. Most of them not going to benefit anybody.
Might as well bet on the slow horse at the track or spend your whole salary on lottery tickets, trying to guess the end game.
Wrap your hand in the strap, tell the gate man ready, spur the shoulders when the beast goes out, and hold on for the ride. It's a long 8 seconds to the win. Go motherfucker go!

Who knows, plan for the worst hope for the best. Don't take what you read on the inter-web seriously this is entertainment and an escape for most. We will get through this at home, in our community, where we CAN make a difference, if and when we choose.
Some of it is a crap shoot...the average person and their finances are not prepared for shit. I fly for FedEx so we are coming through this on top, my brother is a pilot for Delta...he might be furloughed here soon. We have a new hire class starting in a few weeks. At United they had a class show up last week that just quit their jobs and were told to go home they cancelled the class to bad so sad.
Tighten the belts its not even close to being over. Unlike 9/11 when we were punched in the nose this will be long, slow, painful, and uncertain for most. Take care of those around you. This will show your character, how you react and help those in need when the time comes.

In a near future 'cashless' dystopia, the barter system will once again become a chief form of exchange between those who share similar disdain for all-electronic transactions and the dangers that go with it...
As both the developed east and the west becomes more dystopian through the proliferation of technology, I see the Middle East and Africa easily becoming the new frontier for those who want to live freely, criminals on the run from the east or the west, smugglers, con artists, mercenaries, and businessmen who like to make side bucks... Just like the planet Tatooine from Star Wars.
Thoughts on this whole weak ass virus:
I was contemplating elitism and Trump's role against certain forms of it.
A plausible scenario came to mind. What if Trump's "deep state" initiatives finally pissed off the elitist system. As a measure to bring him more in-line with their control mechanisms, these groups initiated this sickness and the following hysteria.
These groups have nothing to lose and can only reinvest/ reinvent the system at their own will.
What if it's all a way to flex on/warn him to get him to tow-the-line. The next step, if this fails would be 'suicide' or, if they're mad enough, assination.
Let's face it... The power control structure in this world is not an overt one.... So there's my what-if.
If I never post again and die by 'suicide'. Then you'll know I was right ?.

I think the virus is just a chapter in a larger story. That isn't to say I'm dismissing the virus as inconsequential or "just the flu". The actual story is where does humanity as a whole go from here?
The virus is like a big wave hitting an elaborate sand castle constructed on the beach. The sand castle was already falling apart, albeit slowly enough that many of children playing around it never considered it anything but permanent. Those who could see the sand castle for what it was knew it would eventual collapse or be washed away; but perhaps given how large it is the structure could last a long time. Now that at it got hit by the wave, even if it survives the initial blow, the time line for its likely continued existence has been reduced greatly, and even the children are recognizing that reality. The sand castle is obviously the world financial/economic system, but also by extension the political and social systems in which we live.
So behind the scenes there is almost certainly a desperate attempt to delay the collapse of the sand castle, to kick the can just a little further. Or failing savior and delay, blaming the whole collapse on the virus, which was in reality no more than an accelerant. The end game is the shaping of the new system and utilizing the crisis to guide people to the shaper's desired end. Primarily I suspect a battle between those who want centralized control in a totalitarian system and those who want self determination for localized people and individual liberty.
Hopefully this will be a wake up call.
My father was 87 when he passed away a few years ago.
He often said bad stuff was ahead because we didn't make stuff here
He also constantly bitched about there not being enough skilled people left.
How our country's leaders sold our country's soul for a few bucks.
Bottom line, if we were ever to get into another war like WWII we would lose.
For one we don't have the manufacturing capacity like we did before the 70's.
It would take us YEARS to spool up our manufacturing engine, time that we don't have today or tomorrow.
