And the businesses will have assets that they will sell off to settle their debts, and store fronts and factory floors will lie vacant, and new entrepreneurs will arise, and start new businesses, using the sold-off assets they purchased cheap, and negotiating terms for the stores and factory floors favorable to them, because the landlords, whether the original or the receivers, don’t want their real estate to sit around generating no income. And they’ll get financing from the banks and speculators that have capital to invest. This is the natural cycle of things, as surely as autumns leaves litter the forest floor and turn into mulch and eventually dirt to nourish new growth. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again.
And as far as Trump’s reelection prospects go, I wouldn’t worry. So long as he is actively engaged in mitigating the damage caused by this epidemic, and helping the country cope with all means at his disposal, he’s a shoe-in. Not least because one of the two grumpy old men is going to be his opposition. Which one? At this point, what difference does it make.
Or it could be Tulsi. Trump doesn’t have cleavage and is not a combat veteran, but so long as he doesn’t make a grab for the former, or make a nasty crack about the latter, he’ll be more than a match for her, because she really doesn’t have the intellectual prowess necessary to beat him. Her main agenda, stopping endless wars, actually dovetails with what he’s doing.
But the main thing is, he’s got to be out, proactively trying to right the ship of state. Nixon did something similar in 1969, and he did some really asinine things, such as imposing price controls and implementing affirmative action in civil service, but the public loved it, and he won reelection in a landslide in ‘72 against a pathetic pinko. That’s when things went sideways.
So the thing for him to do is be very hands-on and on top of things, listen to healthcare experts and follow their advice, and “by his fruits shall ye know him.” And also campaign like a mother-f@#$er as soon as the pandemic ends.
40 years of corrupt, soulless race-baiting and dirty tricks. She's a cancer on the body politic and ousting people like her was a principle motivating factor in the rise of an outsider like Trump.
Thanks for summarizing her book, sure beats buying it and putting money in her pocket.
Don’t tell me you had thought about buying her book?
No matter how bad this pandemic gets, I don't see anybody looking at the challenges we'll face as we emerge from it and decide that an utter moron like Biden is the man to right the ship. He's added dementia to his stupidity and corruption - he's a mess on every level.
Biden's Gettysdog Burger You Know the Thing the Lady Address
So will I, and those that won’t are traitors
No, never. But it’s nice to know what she had to say about the collapse of Hillary. Donna dindu nothin.
I also had my doubts about him when he first ran, but at the end I voted for him, and will do so again on November 3rd.
It takes a few months to open a brand new restaurant and hire workers. Meanwhile you are hiring workers to do the renovations. The recovery will start right away, after the panic is over.
Yeah, she’s corrupt, dishonest, could take Machiavelli back to school. So’s Dick Morris. But they both have insights that can be valuable.
But don’t ever buy their books. Buy second hand. In NYC, when I was there, there was a fellow on the corner of Fulton and Broadway I knew as “Frenchy” who operated a stand of used books that was second to none. These dealers are all over the place, and if you get to be a regular, and are patient, you’ll never have to buy an evil left-wing f@#$’s book at cover price again.
You forgot 1 million or more in liquid capital AND the will to risk all of it.
If this continues much longer we are NOT going to bounce right back in a few months.
The Corporate media will edit every word that comes out of his mouth. You can do amazing things with the right software.
Biden won’t be doing any live appearances now that he’s got the Corona virus at his back. He’ll be too worried about the safety of the ‘folks.’
It will be just like Obama—a media projection of all the wants of his peeps, a benevolent grand-dad smiling down on the masses. Like Roosevelt, like Santa Clause.
At least that seems the smart way to play it, and those people are evil, not stupid.
