    I'm not a fan of price supports or government market propping at all. But this seems like a market (like the defense market) - where we want stability for strategic reasons. Given those circumstances - I don't know what works. I'm usually a pro-private industry with smart regulations sort of guy. Seems inappropriate here.

    As I mentioned elsewhere, in early February I got sick. I had extreme fatigue, dry cough and body aches. No fever, however. Later in March I was talking to someone who works in a hospital lab and this person told me they were getting tons of negatives on flu tests. They even contacted other labs to see if they were getting the same results. They were. I understand there are false negatives in any test...but tons of them? And in other labs too?

    Exciting. I remember reading a lot of these type of articles on the Mueller report. Feels like the opposite side of the media is having its fun now.

    Anybody else notice a pattern in the folk those lawyers choose to represent? Yeah, I noticed too. No people of color.

    @taiwan_girl said in Earth Day Predictions from 1970: @Jolly But Jolly, it goes both ways. There are those on both sides who have positions so far to one side. I am sure there are people on the republic side (and maybe democrat side) who would prefer to eliminate any environmental laws and assume that the market place will put things in teh direction they are supposed to go. When you always ride the middle rail, all you get is a sore butt.

    Yep. As the nuns at St. Francis were fond of pointing out, no money, no mission.

    Humidity 96% is how I remember Louisiana. But I was further south. Glad all is well, if wet.

    A google search found this. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25082478 Most common cause of GGO is pulmonary edema aka fluid in the lungs. Often CHF. Now if you had the breakout of the crew that had GGO you might be on to something more significant. I have no idea if GGO goes away naturally. I guess someone can google that.

    I have no problem with Trump hotels being treated exactly the same as other businesses with a less odious different name on them. But he still should have divested.

    @George-K said in PSA: You can skip RMDs in 2020: Nevertheless, it's nice that you can save a bit extra until you're 72. I have had an inherited IRA since my father died in 2011. So despite being a youngster of 51 this applies to me too.
