    The news has no more corona virus b.s. to push. So now they will say the economy is crashing and we will be in a recession to further rid the small businesses that were able to survive covid.. Media is in business to make money, they have no obligation or need to ever report the truth. They know that making everyone scared makes them a lot of money... it is the media's new age business model... so why should we ever believe them?

    So all those layoffs are made up.

    The border is closed.

    True story....
    Me and the Hazul got married in Vegas.

    I sat down at the Texas Holdem table, $100 buy in. After 5 hands, I was broke but smiling. They said sorry. I said it was the most fun I'd ever had.
    They gave me a coffee cup.

    So awesome
     
    Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

    The layoffs are real. The quoted numbers are not. 30% of small business closing is a HUGE and unrealistic number.

    You do realize that the job of news organizations nowadays is to get a reaction?

    What makes me happy is having a shred of critical thinking and realizing that everything you hear from the media and your government is meant to steer you in a certain direction and not actually inform you of anything.
