But how are wages?

Median household income in $78.5k. My wife and I make (well, made) well over that and paid well under the current median value years ago. I have no idea how a lot of people are making this work. If I had to guess, a lot of my neighbors are absolutely awash in debt. Lots of single income households up here with three quarter million dollar homes, two $60K+ vehicles in the driveway, and two kids in private school.

you can't really talk about corona without politics since it's been such a massive and historic failure from the executive level. 

the books on this will be incredible. 

It’s fail by the world, not US.  US actually in much better shape than the rest of the world.

Yep, I could buy my house in my hometown of NC all day long for $200k at most and that's with my NC town having boomed in recent years. A few years ago, $150k would've bought it.

We ran models at work to see how this pandemic relates to other financial fallouts and actually  coronavirus pandemic is closely relates to war model than financial crisis.  The good news here is post war models show quick economic boom with very short but powerful recession.

I posted this a few pages back. Pretty incredible. I’m sure the actual infection rate is off the charts in NYC. 
 

I would love to take this test since I had a really strange flu like illness in mid February.

Democrats are constantly complaining and need someone to blame. You are describing yourself. Better look in the mirror. 

In your response you blame someone else.  You are well trained.  About the mirror---I DID.  I was a Republican my entire adult life--in that reflection, I said, "Can I support a con man?  A corrupt failure of a human? Can I force myself to believe the lies?" 

I would be happy to send you that mirror with directions.  Then again, how would a mirror serve a blind person?

That's the biggest thing we have to move past as Americans in politics IMO. Stop the doubling down because you supported someone or voted for someone. Once they're in office, it's time to hold them accountable, period. Whether you voted for them or not. I see way too many people who would rather play the "whataboutism" game than hold their chosen politicians responsible for anything.

I agree that the Democratic option was terrible. How in the hell did trump even get the Republican nomination? It’s the same as how the hell did Clinton get the Democratic nomination? Terrible choices that political appointees are selecting and the American public is none the wiser. 

thats a false equivalency. Trump has been a bad person, a bad business man his whole life. You may not like Clinton, and she has her faults. But not like Trump. Trump goes out of his way to be a dick, lies about everything, and just a bad leader.

Look at my voting history, i was a registered independent voter who voted obama. Since then i see things different. Im a registered republican. Look at my posts, ive said Trump hasn't been great. The fact that you blame him more than China shows me some people just can't look past someone they hate to see the truth. The world is blaming china. Democrats blame Trump. 

There is some blame for Trump but he is for sure not most responsible. 

Tell me. What have the Republicans done?
