I'm in sales. I'll have to admit, I stereotype Asians. Oh, and East Indians, as well. Oh, and Arabs, as well.

Are you talking about the act that Pence in all his wisdom opposed prolifically? Yeah, what a brilliant idea, let's put Pence in charge.

Yes, Lanny. I know. We have a lot of Asian friends....most of them are Cambodian. My wife has been there two times. I'm planning to go with her, probably next year. For the record, when I use the term, "stereotype", I'm speaking of cultural differences, and not discrimination in any way. I certainly hope we can discuss - even celebrate - those without being classified as racist, or otherwise.

That would cripple this country if we were to do something like this. No way parents could afford daycare (if it would be even available) or to take that much time off from work.
 
Don't worry this guy has it under control.

Trump was shocked that people die from flu. Lots of people. Which makes him the only American over age 10 who didn't know that.

Actually, I think he was more surprised/shocked by the number of US flu-related deaths each year (upwards of 70,000) than anything else.

Dow has rebounded since this morning's lows...but it's safe to say that the virus will have a global effect on the markets/economy.

That depends on how long this virus takes to play out across the planet. China is much of the worlds supply line, and they have slowed manufacturing over this outbreak. There will be a recession at some point, how big it will be all depends on how long it takes to get these supply lines up and running again, as well as getting the workers, who will use them down the supply lines, back to work.

I am hoping that the worlds first pandemic will wake people up to how fragile our world truly is.
 
Wow, Dow Jones down almost 11% in the last week...gotta believe that online shopping will sky rocket.
