Something i just read. Pennsylvania Is able to use cellphone tracking data. They can see a 52 percent drop in people traveling to work by road. 100 percent drop in movie goers. 57 percent drop in morning rail travel. they can tell if people are visiting closed parks. All this from a cellphone and internet use.

Got news for ya - there are numerous companies that have access to phone-GPS data and are actively using it for a variety of purposes. One outfit in Columbia, Md. did a time-lapse of the Florida spring-breakers after the beaches were closed. Within five days they lit up nearly every major city east of the Mississippi.

Wonder how that correlates with case numbers in those cities?

Nothing to worry about with the trillions of dollars we go further into debt. As long as the people continue to buy all the useless crap from China they will bail us out. Or buy us out.

What difference does it make now. Like I said as long as the American people continue to buy from China they will continue to bail us out. But I don't know what will happen if we stop buying from China.

What difference? They already own us. Buying their products (because we don't make anything....) just pours money into their economy.

If we stop......well, 1st try that and see if you even can do that......and then they stop buying whatever we were selling....and they can outlast us on that game. We implode.

Off to work now........moving one pile of electrons to the next pile.....Oompa Loompa doompadee doo!

Well then we are up $hit creek without a paddle.

But I am sure we can find a way to blame it on TRUMP.

He gets part of the blame, but it goes back to a collective 3+ decades of mismanagement and failure to plan long term, pandering to banks and insurance companies, etc. and a generally corrupt Gov't. that pockets every bit of loose change it can get away with while lying to its constituents that it's the other guys doing wrong. Sad thing is that they are believed.

When was the last time we had a balanced budget and/or a surplus.....

Bigger question might be when will congress pay back the money they took from the social security surplus.

I think you already know the answer to that one! Anyway, anyone that counts on SS needs medication. You can only rely on yourself.
