Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban believes that despite the negative impact the coronavirus outbreak has had on the U.S., it will result in ‘world-changing’ innovation – and possibly his own run at the presidency.

“People aren’t going to just venture outside. They're not going to go to large gatherings. They're not going to feel confident right off the bat. There’s going to be a lot of trepidation. And that concern is going to lead to people holding back on spending money.”

“When the scientists say it’s safe for my employees to come back to work, that’s when I’ll feel confident enough to let them go back to work,” he said.

Cuban’s next venture could potentially put him in a position to lead the national recovery, as he acknowledged a presidential bid could be in his future. While he admitted that this is not a serious thought at the moment, he would not call it an impossibility given the current state of affairs.
“I never would have considered it prior to a month ago, but now things are changing rapidly and dramatically,” he said. Cuban said he is not “actively pursuing” anything just yet, but noted anything could happen, even though the deadline for independent candidates has already passed in some states.
“I’m just keeping the door open,” he said.

I don’t know about your, Mark, but I’m venturing outside every day. If you wait for the “scientists” you’ll never work again for 2 years.
Cuban is a legend in his own mind. You’re not going to be President.
Which scientists?
Yeah, the use of zinc ionophores to counter a corona virus.
Cuban is just another self-serving, self-important, corrupt, POS. Go for it, Mark, you will get your ass handed to you.
Another one who thinks taxing the rich more makes the economy better, no thanks. The more taken from the private sector, the smaller the private sector.
cuban thinks the democrat party is the same party that bill clinton ran back in the 1990’s. its not.
Nobody’s voting for a guy who looks like Lego Frankenstein monster.
And after he has a substantial position in the company that is going to bring us this new revolution ... he will tell us about it.
Death to globalists?
No to globalism
Yes to Liberty
Oh no. . .not him again.
One word:
Bloomberg.
what a colossal dope
Cuban is a legend in his own mind. You’re not going to be President.
Exactly.
Dumb dumb couldn’t even carry Texas.....
Talk about embarrassing.
“And that concern is going to lead to people holding back on spending money.”
Possibly. Certainly if that were true people would go to fewer public events, restaurants, etc. But if people have jobs and income I suspect those people would find other things on which to spend money. I also think there is a lot of pent-up demand that will explode in coming months. So I don’t necessarily accept his premise.
What is with this Cuban guy and why do I not like him so much?
Yes I love Shark Tank but Mark Cuban is in love with himself.
