You can go outside whenever you want, people who actually stay inside are crazy imo. Fresh air is such a great thing during this crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh air is such a great thing during this crap! It was a play on the words of Jim Morra (the guy in the meme). His words were "Playoffs???" "I just hope we can win a game". Don't worry I go out for the occasional walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 29 minutes ago, Me_ said: Any wish for pro sports to resume this year’s season isn’t at all realistic. I say mid-September training camp is the earliest we see live hockey. The question is what kind of extreme measures is the NHL willing to go to in order to continue the season. Are they willing to play in front of no fans? Are they willing to play in neutral sites in a smaller group of cities? How much are they willing to condense the schedule? Until these questions are answered it’s pointless speculating. I would look to see what the NBA is doing. No doubt Bettman will follow their lead.

The most realistic plan has always been to play playoffs in July and August so that doesn’t really change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way I have heard this thought expressed is it's like when the forest burns. It's ugly but necessary. Old weak trees have to burn so that young strong ones can grow. If you keep propping up and bailing out the weak and stupid eventually you'll end up with what we had in 2008. And of course instead of letting the weak and diseased companies die they propped them up with mountains of debt. They'll have to deal with that mess eventually. Look at Japan they have been propping up the weak and operating a zombie economy for 30 years. When that mess (forest) eventually burns you'll be able to see the flames from this side of the Pacific.

Even for incentivizing new industries - just let them begin with tax breaks. Its not like you're losing anything that way, the taxes weren't there anyway. I still believe strongly in R&D funding as there's no other way for new ideas but thats not the same thing as corporate welfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
