Withholding testing kits is the right decision because?

I never claimed it was the right decision. I’m just having a laugh with your ridiculous “genocide” claims. I’m simply making fun of you bud. You’re hilariously over the top with your butt-hurtedness. You’ve reached cartoon character status.

The scary part is that people believe this shit. They also believe that Trump wants a cure just for Americans.

A lot of people are going to miss financial payments and run short, especially those paycheck to paycheck.

It's going to be terrible.

I work with people that have had the ability to make six figures for years that live paycheck to paycheck.....luckily for them they hit big on the slots a couple of times so they made ends meet.

Apparently they think I'm too dumb to realize that to hit it big on slots twice in one year they had to be addicted to these machines. I guess I should feel sorry for them.

My (step) grandma and Grandpa lived in Vegas and for years they would ask us to come down and they were at casino’s hours every single day. I cant fathom how much money they spent...

Before we moved to Vegas the wife and I went to Spirit Mountain a few times. I couldn't believe the elderly people with stacks of cash feeding the machines. Wife and I actually won a few bucks most times we went. Play 40 bucks and cashout 60 or 80 and be happy. We played the slots on New Years day and each put in 20 bucks and it was gone in a second. It isn't even fun now.
 
Germany confirms that Trump tried to buy firm working on coronavirus vaccine


CureVac boss was at the White House last week to discuss its vaccines plans.

The Donald Trump administration offered “large sums of money” to get exclusive access to a coronavirus vaccine being developed by a German company, Die Welt reported Sunday.

According to the article, Trump was trying to get the Tübingen-based CureVac company — which also has sites in Frankfurt and Boston — to move its research wing to the United States and develop the vaccine “for the U.S. only.”

A spokesperson for Germany’s Health Ministry quoted in the article appeared to acknowledge the U.S. approach and said that Berlin was “very interested in ensuring that vaccines and active substances against the new coronavirus are also developed in Germany and Europe.”

On Sunday afternoon, Germany’s Health Ministry told Reuters that its spokesperson had been quoted correctly in the newspaper article, confirming that Washington had attempted to take over the biopharmaceutical company. Government sources indicated that Berlin was now offering CureVac financial incentives to remain in Germany.

German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said at a press conference Sunday that he had heard about the CureVac reports and that it would be discussed at a crisis team meeting Monday.

Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, said on Twitter that the Welt report was “wrong.”

Last week CureVac CEO Daniel Menichella was among the pharmaceutical representatives invited to the White House to discuss coronavirus vaccine development with Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and members of the president’s Coronavirus Task Force.

In a press release, the company said that Menichella had told U.S. officials about the vaccines it had in development, and revealed its hope to have an experimental vaccine ready by early summer.

The news prompted angry reactions from German politicians who demanded that Berlin do everything possible to prevent the U.S. from controlling access to an eventual coronavirus vaccine.

“The American regime has committed an extremely unfriendly act,” said Social Democrat MP Karl Lauterbach, who said that German health workers on the front lines — as well as people around the world — needed to have access to something developed in Germany, and that no country should be able to purchase exclusive access to the vaccine.

“Capitalism has limits,” he said.

I can’t get into gambling at all. Which is odd coming from a long line of gamblers, whether professional or degenerate. My wife and I go to Deadwood occasionally and have way more fun bar hopping, listening to live music and meeting people. They give out free $20 credits at most of the casinos when you walk in (to try and get you hooked), we’ll put it in a machine and hit buttons til it’s gone, then go find something more exciting to do.

“In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be QUITE apparent if we under reacted or did too little.”
