This popped up on Twitter the other day. It’s from “Rick Wilson”, who lists himself as an “apostate GOP media guy”, which means he’s a pretty over the top Never-Trumper.
Comeuppance was delivered fast and hot. Wilson pretty well doggoned it:
What are we looking at, here?:
- A heat map of people who sniff down their noses at Fox News?
- An overlay of Covid deaths at this point?
Answer: Why choose?
I suspect it’s really more a matter of population density than intellectual density – densely-packed, transit-dependent people have always been more susceptible, at least initially, to pandemics (and they also develop immunity faster). Nobody knows what that map’ll look like in a year.
The only thing we know for sure?
Rick Wilson is going to have a hard time earning a living from seriousl people.
This idiot is no more a Republican than Bernie Sanders. He’s a useful idiot left winger and Don Lemon’s best white buddy.
I did a quick and dirty compilation of the incidence of reported cases in the states, using the 2016 electoral college results as a divider. The Clinton states had way more cases and deaths (26,749/315) than Trump states (7606/103). Trump states had slightly higher death rates 1.35 percent vs 1.17 percent. Not sure if it’s statistically significant. In summary, the virus doesn’t give a hoot about your political views. And I have to get my life back.
The implication is Fox News viewers are getting incorrect virus information, which will kill them. He should be GLAD those deplorable gun-clinging, Bible-toting Trump supporters will be dying off. Not only serves them right for being wrong-thinkers, but also paves the way for enlightened leadership from Hillary. Or, no, Bernie. I mean, Biden. Kamela. Whoever, as long is it’s not Trump.
If degenerate Governor Cuomo really cared about saving lives, he’d string concertina wire around a perimeter that covers the NYC metro area, and let bat flu run it’s course. Newsome should do the same in SF bay area, LA, San Diego and Sacramento as should the Gov of Washington state for Seattle. The lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few.
On a related note, degenerates are squirting tears because Rand Paul spent 6 days in session while carrying bat flu. The man is an American Hero, and Drumpf should waste NO TIME awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Bosshoss is correct, these people have been calling themselves Republicans so they could get jobs as “the token conservative.” Rick Wilson is an especially vile, yet incredibly un-serious pos.
Its generally annoying to me how the lefties prattle on about Fox, but look at the bright side: it keeps them from doing harm in other ways.
I’m glad fiscally conservative Republicans are in charge or else our national debt would explode.

Somebody get Snake Plisskin on the phone.
Degenerate NY Gov Cuomo is on TV demanding the lion’s share of the Trumpbux. I fell his pain; he’s got a lot of crooked people up there waiting to get their beaks wet.
After Drumpf publicly punked Cuomo real hard yesterday, the little bitch is holding daddy’s belt-loop today…. Now it’s “No one could have ever forseen the need for so many ventilators. The White House has been very helpful.”
Pfffft.
DJIA ^570 points so far.
DRINK!

Could we be headed for a second historic comeback in two days? Hard to say, the Senate Degenerates could still tank things, but low IQ degenerates are better safe than sorry. Put your fetid muzzles into the liquid crap pond and…
…DRINK!

/“This is something I am asked about often, especially when the market moves in big chunks as it has this month. That is, how returns add up from one day to the next. For example, if your account was down 10% heading into yesterday, and your account gained 10% on the day, you are not even because you don’t add returns to get the total. It’s compounding daily. You would actually need a gain of 11.11% to get even after a 10% loss. And the larger the loss, the more you need to make to get even.
The obvious example is, if you were down 50%, how much would you have to make to get even? The answer is 100%, so you see that adding them up doesn’t work.
-50% + 100% doesn’t equal +50%, it equals 0%. If you started with $100 and lost $50 you are down 50%. Now you have to double the $50 you have (make another $50) to get even, which would be a 100% gain. “/
It looks like the people most concerned with “sustainability” were focused on the entirely hypothetical issue of global warming & not the historically well known issue of pandemics. Yet another gut-punch to the expert class!
And Emery seems to have discovered that if you lose 50% of your money, you need to increase the amount that remains by 100% to get even.
Lol.
“I’m glad fiscally conservative Republicans are in charge or else our national debt would explode.”
Yea, Emery, because it’s the fiscally illiterate DemocRATs that are loading over a trillion dollars in pork to pander to their useful idiot followers, like you.
Woolly: In your case, let’s use a -30% loss
To get even you would need a +42.85% gain
Or maybe you only managed a -25% loss
To get even you would need a +33.33% gain.
It’s similar to the Laffer curve which works best at 0. Because math…
I already explained the math to you, Emery.
Your “insight” is trivial.
“The enemy sneak attack has destroyed half our battleships! That means that we’ll need to double the number of battleships we have just to replace the destroyed battleships! No matter how few battleships the enemy destroys, we’ll have to replace more than those battleships! Gack!
“It is mathematically impossible for us to win!
“We surrender!”
MP, it’s going to be a sad day when Low IQ Emery Takes Those GAiNS and starts bouncing checks 16 months after he that early retirement. I can’t imagine who depends on the moron, but damn, their future looks bleak.
Hope they like ramen and government cheese.
^^ Meantime, in the real world, production is collapsing and consumption is evaporating. Unemployment is skyrocketing, entire business eco systems are disappearing (check Amazon). The damage to the global economy is substantial and will last a long time — hard to believe that in this context, investors think equity markets with multiples of 14 to 19 are a bargain.
Computer trading algorithms on cruise control still doing what they do. This isn’t close to being over.
“I started a savings account today with $100; they took $5.00 for maintenance fees and now, Emery says I’ll need to put in $194.26 more before I get any sweet gains….Guess I’ll withdraw $99 and start closer to gains territory tomorrow.”
“Meantime, in the real world…”
Low IQ Emery just stuck his head into the liquid crap bucket and took some epic gulps!
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!
DJIA holding steady around +1200 for the day.
Time for another BIG DRINK!!
Emery’s IQ is similar to the Laffer curve which works best at 0.
Lmao!
golfdoc50…might be better to break it down by major cities. I think it would change the numbers significantly towards ‘blue’.
I have $25. I lose five bucks. That’s 20% of my money!
But to make the five backs back, I’ll have to increase my remaining fortune by 25% to make up that 20% loss! Oh noes!
Trivial. I wonder if Emery gets short changed much?
MP, low IQ knobs like Emery have been bread and butter for loan sharks since Biblical times. After they’ve extracted every dollar available, and busted out his remaining assets, Emery doesn’t hold a grudge…..because, Vig!
Emery,
Have you EVER checked any of your drivel before you post it?
Amazon, InstaCart, ShopIt and most retailers are hiring like mad. If your company’s business model is to deliver stuff, it’s booming right now.
Not speaking of Emery, here, but many people, on the right & left, seize on to silly arguments because the silly argument supports their position. To the people who sell gold, it is always a good time to buy gold.

Somewhere in here is the perfect day to buy. It may have been last Friday, it may be in a few weeks, but there will be a lot of “I wish I had bought then” when all this is over.

Who thinks that ” fiscally conservative Republicans are in charge”?
Not Republicans.
Not Democrats.
Not people in academia or media. Not regular main street Americans or businessmen.
The only people I have ever met who believe that the GOP is full of close-fisted fiscal conservatives are college students and homeless people.
Do you believe that the government is in the hands of fiscally conservative republicans, Emery?
I come at it from a different perspective. If Trump is going to send everybody back to work in the middle of a pandemic, then why does he need a $2 trillion bailout bill?
Is it still a war, or no big deal?

Low IQ Emery 1 week ago: “Seriously—I’m very fortunate to with having gotten out in January and booked all of 2019’s gains.
My existing exposure consists of Municipal Bonds and two REIT funds. I’m setup for retirement. Will the market be higher in five years — I would say that is nearly a certainty.”
Low IQ Emery today: “Somewhere in here is the perfect day to buy. It may have been last Friday, it may be in a few weeks, but there will be a lot of “I wish I had bought then” when all this is over.”
Oh noez! Missed out on booking all them sweet Gains?
Bwaaaahahahahahaaaa!
U poor thing, your ignorant ass is as exposed today as ever it was.
Stock market doesn’t follow reality. If you can’t handle the volatility then go home.
The market will go down hard in the next two weeks as the virus peaks in the US. Wish I was wrong, but common sense tells me I’m right.
