Russia announced on Friday it would impose a 10-day non-working period at the beginning of May to stem the virus spread, a departure from the government’s hands-off approach in recent months.

Russia has been hard-hit by Covid-19, with the Rosstat state statistics agency recording more than 224,000 virus-related deaths – more than double the 107,501 that health officials reported as of Friday.

If correct, the Rosstat toll would mean Russia has the third-highest number of coronavirus deaths in the world, after the United States and Brazil.

They were ahead of their time with that technique. It's very surprising how well it worked. It could still be used today to good effect for the low budget film folks.

Well - the market's back today.

Not that I'm a fan of this capital gains tax... but not a big blip in the grand scheme of things.

They realized they need to make an extra 30% to offset what they are about to lose in taxes...

rebirth of something better?

Have you got any examples of something better that is actually succeeding?

Imagine Caitlyn Jenner wins California's Governership, then on to winning the GOP's 2024 Presidential primary with Trump's endorsement ... she might become the nation's first woman President!

You mean first 'Chicks with Dicks' president.

Let me guess, that $75 will go towards some new canvasses and paint? 😀

Exactly. Or maybe a steak dinner for Steve and I. 😄

You get the paint and canvasses, and Steve takes you out for dinner.

I'm 3 for 3 in escaping cops by car. Next time I'm drunk-posting coax the stories out of me.

Lol! I’m just one for one. Gotta up my game.

I’m talking about car chases.

You know what else happened at Minstrel shows? Breathing! People inhaled and exhaled. I suspect it happened in the Antebellum South as well.

The only conclusion to draw is that people that breathe are racist.

Yep.

But, but, but...It's Townhall!

You can discriminate against them,

But you can't hate them
