Well thanks for confirming the asshole troll part of your motivations. At least that's clear to everyone now if it wasn't already.

You hold an opinion, apparently that social distancing and masks are either unnecessary or ineffective. That's a minority opinion here in the U.S. by far (https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/508727-75-percent-of-americans-support-mask), but that doesn't mean you...

You win the prize for the most information free post on ET today! Why bother to engage in a discussion when you're going in at the 3 year old level? What exactly do you think you're accomplishing?

Any time you go with the whole "why are you worried about X people dying, after all 140,000 people die every day" you're basically saying that any number of deaths less than 140,000 per day is something trivial we shouldn't care about. The number of people who die in the world every day has...

This is the most maddening train of logic to me. If you applied this logic to everything else in life then.....Oh, 2,996 people died in the 9/11 attacks? Well 140k people die daily in the world, even without a 9/11 attack. What, 193 people died in the Madrid train bombings? Well 140k people die...

You're a reasonable person. And without knowing myself about the situation in France in the Spring I won't dispute your assertion regarding France without more research on my part. That in no way changes the fact that what @misterkel posted about Dr. Ezike's statements was a complete and total...

So now you're completely making shit up (and @luisHK you're buying into it apparently?). Dr. Ngozi Ezike is actually on the record saying the exact opposite "Ezike said that the state is being careful to make sure to weed out deaths where the patient had COVID-19, but died in a manner...

I'm pretty sure everyone on both sides would be pretty disappointed if Pelosi said "yes, let's throw out carefully crafted legislation with months of negotiation on all sides and go with 3 lines from a tweet instead without any further thought or negotiation." I can't imagine there's anyone with...

Why would it get him any more votes? All the people with the "I vote for tough man" mentality are already firmly in his camp. The rest of us vote based on a number of other factors, maybe policy maybe morality and those can lead us to vote for or against him, but "toughness" isn't really a...

It's interesting that when he can't defend his bullshit ideas on the merits and has to completely ignore things like excess deaths he pivots to the old "a number of smart people are saying" strategy. Which is itself complete and utter bullshit. The overwhelming consensus among epidemiologist is...

Seriously, even if you think this is a good move, if this is the "greatest political move you've seen" then you're either 14 and haven't seen much or have become a full on cult member lacking any critical thinking skills. Of course as John Rodgers said, "There are two novels that can change a...

There's where you're being intellectually dishonest. We didn't have 200,000+ extra people die in the past 6 months who were dying of cancer and Covid finished them off a few days early. That's complete and utter bullshit, as evidenced by the excess mortality rate that closely tracks the COVID...

WTF does this have to do with a FTT again?

Again, if you believe in this whole big bad government thing, then the same big bad government simply continues to enforce the existing ban on spread betting for Americans.

Ever try to trade options on exchanges outside the U.S. as an American? If you buy into the whole big bad gubmnt thing then you have to acknowledge that it's trivially easy for the U.S. government to restrict trading in offshore exchanges by U.S. citizens. Once you throw in something commonly...

You've been trying so very hard to ignore the fact that so many of us have been repeating to you....over 100 million Americans have at least one of those contributing conditions! That's 1/3 of the country. So again, what exactly is your point? It seems to be "don't worry, almost everyone who...

There are reasons other than leverage or gambling that daily options would be nice for those of us who trade expiration strategies. The fact that you're not aware of them just means you probably trade different products or a different style. An open minded person might try to discover if there's...

He definitely won't say anything controversial or make any mistakes/gaffes. He also won't change a single vote one way or the other with his performance. That's not a terrible thing if you're clearly ahead, and might not even be bad if you're tied, but when you're significantly behind in a race...

I hope they do too. Thing is that you and I have far more beliefs in common than either you and the enthusiastic Trump voters or me and the enthusiastic Sanders voters. Yet we claim different parties. Hmmm.....

Fortunately most of them have to do disclosures as well because nepotism and them all now having gubmnt jobs. So it wouldn't be too hard to track down theirs to see if anything was transferred to them. Of course that all assumes that any of them are honest on the disclosures, not sure why they...
