Bloomberg is the most unconvincing candidate in American history.....and the biggest failure ever - spending all that money and still losing.
Well we know that Trump and his MAGA minions designed and distributed the coronavirus as part of his trade offensive against China.

A 1000 point drop aginst a base of 28,000 is a lot less momentous than such a drop against a base of 13,000.

I'm pretty sure that's a fake Trump tweet.
I expect that there are already multiple community spreads throughout the US and this is just the beginning of the tank. I think we go sub 20,000 by the beginning of April if we have not seen signs that warmer weather will have a significant effect.

But I feel terrible for giving this legacy to future generations. As we all know the poor and lower middle class end up paying bigger (relatively) for these things. Last Recession wiped out 100% of the net worth of black and hispanic households.
I graduated college during the last recession. I was never really able to get my career going because of it. Well that, and being fired from a government job in 2009 because my boss was homophobic. I've barely kept my head above water in years since. Despite what people on this board say about me, I only lived in my parents' basement for about three months back in 2012. I'm very concerned about what my life will look like in a year if the economy really does get as bad as it could.

There is no need to worry but the press conference was a disaster. Trump contradicted the CDC statements he says Pence has some kind of 'skill' with this but fails to specify what that is ....blah blah.

I felt no more assured it would be okay after Trump talked then I did before he talked.

Nothing he said was reassuring and his concern seems to be more about making sure this does not reflect on his performance...

I'm not overly worried. I don't live in a big city, have the luxury of not having to be in large populated areas, etc.

But the press conference yesterday was a mess.

I'm getting my updates from other countries and the CDC and WHO officials. The White House can't even give us a straight line on who is in charge. Trump says Pence is, Azar says he is, with Pence.....seems there is more concern for who gets the title then getting anything done.

If I lived in LA, New York - or any big city I would be making sure my at home supply of food included some of those pantry items that could be used if we lose some of our supply chains from California.
It was terrible, Trump lied repeatedly in the press conference yesterday. He didn't even tell the truth on how many cases of coronavirus were in the U.S.

This is, unfortunately, a common thread....the Great Recession pretty much did away with the American Dream for a generation. It was already dead for many due to downsizing, offshoring and the like...

The only potential salvation I see is to figure out some sort of a small business and become your own boss....but that's not for everyone. That was how we did it.

No one would ever hire me - then or now, despite the fact that I would be better then a vast majority of applicants for many many jobs.

While not everyone can work for themselves it is the best way to wealth and security, IMHO.

Is it a fake tweet or not? You made the allegation - tell us why you believe it to be fake.

I have no idea.

Being laid off and then fired within a year back in 2008 and 2009 screwed me over, big time. I've been with my current employer going on eight years but I'm at a major disadvantage right now competing against fresh grads for positions that would actually pay equal or more than what I'm making now. I can't afford a pay cut.
