Fauci mentioned in the House hearing today that there has already been a double blind study of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of Covid-19. The results showed it had no beneficial effect. At present there are only two FDA approved drugs for treatment of Covid-19 infections, one is a Gilead...

Z-Pak is Azithromycin, an antibiotic.

Yes, it was.

After you've read what i posted I will respond. I didn't complain about anything, as you claim.

It would be an under statement to say the placing the President's son-in-law, B.A. Sociology, and a real estate developer, in charge of the U.S. response to the Covid-19 Pandemic has produced a decidedly different result than the U.S. approach to fighting the SARS epidemic of 2003 produced. --...

"Predictions are difficult, especially about the future." --Yogi Berra

Though your opinion is duly noted, I disagree. This decision of the Appeals Court is rare enough, en Banc hearing are uncommon, and of such importance, to warrant its own headline. [Please see my detailed remarks in reply to Here4money immediately above.]

I'm not sure of the legal order here, but I would think that Trump could proceed with a pardon before the en Banc Hearing because of flynn's guilty plea. I don't want anything to interfere with the full en Banc hearing however, because this is such an unusual case that it would be worthwhile to...

As I predicted it would, the D.C. Court of Appeals, in a relatively rare occurrence, has just announced it would re-hear the Flynn case en Banc in which Flynn appealed the decision of District Court Judge Sullivan to hear arguments why the DOJ's belated request to withdraw its prosecution of...

That's strange to me coming from a socialist wage subsidy advocate such as yourself.

That's it exactly. And the $15/hr wage is arguably in the right ballpark most places. Where economists can argue is what should be included in the computation. It is controversial whether savings should be included. I think they should. I favor including savings at 10% of gross income. This...

I did notice COGS. You responded before I could edit. Tips affect the result because in figuring compensation for restaurant workers you must take tips into account. If tips are involved, to get them up to 15/hr you need less then your spread sheet shows. By your estimates prices will have to...

Is this fast food? If not you must figure in tip income when figuring compensation. Food cost is in COGS I assume. Franchise fees? It looks like this business is barely profitable even with 7$ labor. A bad sign.

Oh please. We all know exactly what he has done, and so do all the women whose pussies were grabbed, so do the 72 U.S. Banks he defaulted on, so does Lt. Colonel Vindman, so does Michael Cohen, so do the families whose sons and daughters are serving in Afghanistan, so do the parents deported...

Oh for god fucking sake. Just move it to Moscow where it belongs, and get it over with!

This makes no sense to me. What you are advocating is paying a wage that no one can live on rather than automate to reduce the drudgery of anyone having to do a mind stultifying repetitive task. We should be automating these mindless tasks, wherever and whenever possible. There is so, so...

I haven't actually made that assumption, but let's assume it. This is a far more complex issue than meets the eye. I am only addressing aggregate factors here. One is the aggregate rise in prices due to an increase in the cost of labor at the low margin. Another factor is an aggregate increase...

The common wisdom is that nearly 100% of wage increases will get passed directly to the customer. This has resulted in both defective arithmetic and defective thinking. For most products, a 20% increase in wages will come nowhere near to a 20% increase in production cost. And, of course, the...

This situation highlights the need for higher wages. How absurdly low some wages are!!! And of course we can't use absurdly low wages as an argument for cutting the low, basic, unemployment compensation paid to a substantial number of people. That would of course be absurd! What we must...

So are you supporting planned parenthood?
