RUPERTKBD Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just now, I.Am.Ironman said: Yeah that's not in there I didn't think so. I did some searching and other than a vague reference to "pressure from Trump" without any specifics, I couldn't find any evidence. I thought maybe there was something in the NYT article that I couldn't open, which is why I gave the poster a chance to post an example from his source. BTW: Interesting how the Times is a legit source when it (almost) says something one agrees with, n'est-ce pas? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spread of covid is trumps fault. 2. We should all blindly accept the rules that are being introduced without any thought since we are not experts. The ccp and who did everything in their power to stop the spread of covid. 3. There is no such thing as fear mongering anymore it's just being proactive. 4. The country will only reopen when there is a vaccine. 5. Communism will save us all. 6. Trumps bad. What I have learned from this thread. 1. The lack of preparation in the USA for covid is largely trumps fault and many Canadians and Americas are dumb enough to still support him 2. We should all accept the rules that are being introduced with thought from scientists and experts in the field 2.5 The ccp did very little in their power to stop the spread of covid. 3. There is such thing as fear mongering anymore and its usually Trump and republicans politicing for the next election. Live lost for re-election is sickening. 4. The country will only go back to normal when there is a vaccine but a gradual reopening under strict conditions is inevitable. It will not be business as usual though. 5. Communism nor capitalism will not save us all. If will be people working with people and helping each others that makes us all stronger. 6. Trumps is bad and his supporters only put all of us at risk. I would not elect Trump to pour slurpees at my local 7-11. He is not smart enough for that position.

This is great that you sum it up FOR US. Here's my take though, since I think you missed the mark for some of us. 1. The spread of covid is something that required urgent action and Trump initially thought he could tweet it away. Because greatness. The fact that one of ("the"?) most powerful nations in the world with tools at its disposal to "fight" threats is failing, miserably, to do so speaks volumes. The leader gets the brunt of it because "it's his authority" to do what he wants as President. According to him anyways. But he'd rather blame others when things go awry and take credit if/when they don't. Fence sitting & indecisive except when he's very decisive then he pretends they weren't his ideas and deflects and points fingers elsewhere. We only have to check those Tweets of greatness to remind him of what he's said/done. 2. No one's really blindly accepting things....we are intelligent human beings and have enough information at our disposal to research and decide 3. Fear mongering something that's killing people at a rapid pace when given a path to is probably justified. What's not is poopoo'ing it away and ignoring steps that will prevent it from exploding (even more) down the road. 4. The country reopening is a rather complex deal and you've dumbed it down. Baby steps will eventually lead to a full on return to "normal" (however that may look in the future) when the time is right. It isn't a matter of flipping a sign around on the front door. 5. What will save us (not all, unfortunately) is doing the things to prevent the spread of this virus as much as possible. 6. Correct. Except it's "Trump's".

This will be a waste of my time but sure. What Juwanski has learned from this thread. 1. The spread of covid is trumps fault. -- no body that i recall is placing direct blame for the global spread on trump, in america however he deserves every bit of criticism. Trump was ill prepared, had the most time to react (along with Canada), is getting hit the hardest, minimized/downplayed the virus for a month before taking it seriously. 2. We should all blindly accept the rules that are being introduced without any thought since we are not experts. -- this makes no sense. There is nothing blind about. The thought is simple, flatten the curve by abiding by the rules that experts have set out (you know doctors, virologists, epidemiologists etc). It makes sense. Say a doctor diagnoses you diabetes and tells you to cut down on soda, this would be like you saying "im not going to blindly cut down on soda because i am not an expert". The ccp and who did everything in their power to stop the spread of covid. -- actually the very opposite has been said... repeatedly 3. There is no such thing as fear mongering anymore it's just being proactive. -- there are always going to be some drama queens/kings (on both sides) but more people are being quite rational about this. It is real and should be respected, that's all. 4. The country will only reopen when there is a vaccine. -- has anybody said this? The government certainly hasn't. A vaccine could be a year away. 5. Communism will save us all. -- No. This is ridiculous and gives your position zero credibility. 6. Trumps bad. - see point 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wloutet Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 A couple of questions for you guys and girls. I thought I saw that one of the problems in the US of getting out the payments to people was that some of the computers were still using COBOL and were from the 60's and 70's. Can this be correct? Secondly, with the USA being so good in Nobel Prizes, technology companies, some excellent Universities, and so on, why can it not get an easy way for EVERY eligible voter to get a vote? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but in a world wide pandemic Trump is the leader of a nation that we share a border with so it's relevant to discuss his actions as part of Covid developments as they unfold. I mean, if you watch the news or follow any of this you'll see how Trump/the US ties in to what happens here. Particularly when the borders are set to reopen in weeks and our PM is in negotiations with him. The two are obviously tied together and worthy of discussion. As Trump pushes for decisions that will impact us, there will be some discussion that involves Trump. Please read the rules about mini modding and how to report things rather than address them in thread please/thanks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted an article on this a couple of weeks ago. IIRC, it was Unemployment benefits that were being held up, but it may have caused issues with stimulus checks as well. (Not sure about that) And yes, they are still using COBOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
