Ironic thing is this coronavirus would've been a perfect scapegoat for him had he handled it even marginally better than he has. Economy was humming along before the pandemic. He could've gotten a pass from a lot of people for simply being another casualty of the pandemic "What could Trump do about the economy? He did all he could!" but nah... he fucked things up royally from day one. He would've sailed into a second term no problem if the economy wasn't tanking. For all the bullshit he's pulled over the past 3+ years, his base has been unshakeable, and a lot of his less loyal supporters would've voted for him again this coming election if he did nothing remarkable to show how incompetent he is. Then boom - Covid. His base will stand by him as always, but those who were not 100% all-in on Trump... he's losing some of those for sure. Still an uphill battle for Biden. Can't trust the polls.

wolfy42 08/01/20 3:15:59 AM #32:	Actually it's amazing more viruses have not been released, and to be honest there are MANY countries who could have released it, or none of them did. It actually doesn't make sense for China to release it though, so those assumptions/accusations don't really make sense. The virus has done nothing but hurt them, so it actually makes sense for countries that dislike china to have released it instead. China has been doing VERY well for quite awhile, and doesn't need any help. It doesn't need a war, it's winning economically. It caught up to the world technologically as well in a very short time (comparatively), and it's owed significant amounts of money, owns land many places etc. It has nothing to gain from a strong world wide economic collapse, and more to loose than many. --- Agatha "Your naked and they are nuns, it's not your eyes they're not looking at."

_AdjI_ 08/01/20 10:00:29 PM #44:	zebatov posted... Its insane that our dollar is still so low then. I would expect 2008-levels of buying-power in the US if its economy was doing that poorly. Have you not noticed that Canada has shut down to roughly the same extent as the US? More, even, since we've actually been taking it seriously on a national scale. Canada's been responding to Covid on roughly the same timeline as the US, and while our stats are looking much better (largely thanks to better compliance and lower population density), we're still just gradually reopening now. There's really no reason to expect the Canadian economy to be particularly soaring relative to the American one right now. Maybe in a few months when most provinces have been able to get up and running and half of America has died, but not just yet. The Canadian dollar is also pretty closely tied to the price of oil. The ~2008 dollar was largely thanks to high oil prices at the time, and it dropping to the 0.70-0.75 range was largely due to them dropping. We're not exactly in a period of high oil prices at the moment. Gas prices aren't a conclusive indicator of crude prices, certainly, but when gas was dropping below 0.70/L a few months ago and is still ~25-30% lower than it usually is at this time of year, that doesn't exactly suggest that oil's in good shape (which is intuitively consistent with global behavioural changes). <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:942879635] in The U.S. e...
