The incentive for everyone is to live beyond our means, but none of that could've possibly taken into account a global pandemic that brings the world to a dead stop, whether it's the business or the individual. I agree with you about a lot TNT, but Libertarian economic policy just has very few solutions during a global pandemic.

You're out of your mind if you think most businesses in the US could operate successfully with with literal months of operating costs/salaries saved up in case their revenue plummet to near 0 for extended periods of time.

May 18, 20205 yr A new study from Canada suggests that cannabis extracts containing THC and CBD could prevent the novel coronavirus from infecting human cells. The study, published online at Preprints, was conducted by a team of biologists licensed to grow marijuana and hemp under a Health Canada research license. Using 13 different cannabis oils extracted from newly developed strains, the team discovered that certain oils containing the cannabinoids CBD and THC could lower human cell production of two key proteins that serve as gateways for COVID-19 virus to enter the body and cause infection. https://merryjane.com/news/cannabis-may-stop-coronavirus-from-infecting-people-study-finds

May 18, 20205 yr It's not zero profits. It's zero REVENUE. Companies can deal with flat profits, but they have fixed expenses. Zero revenues means massively negative profits. No one plans for zero revenue.

May 18, 20205 yr Still at my kitchen table desk. Week #10. Mr. Di has lived long enough to see his 1st SSDI check. I am grateful to still have an income and it's a great help to not have to use savings to pay the bills. Also thankful we learned the hard way over the years to not live beyond our means. I'm not sure how I will live when he's gone, but I can worry about that later. I know I'll be Ok for a while anyway. Not sure about years though. Will definitely be on a strict budget. I went out to the store this weekend. Everyone wearing masks, just some with it not over the noses. I have one of those cloth fabric things you pull over you head and can wear it 10 different ways, so I put it over my N95 to look a bit more fashionable. I am doing my best to take care of myself. I'm feeling good but not great. Not exercising except for chores. Planted the garden (with help from sister and brother in law) We stayed outside except for a brief "how ya doing" w/Mr. Did carry a couple of 5 gal. buckets of water down across the lawn. Will be doing that again later. It's something. Tired of all the misinformation and trying to keep things in perspective (and stay sane) as we learn more. I'm getting old and one of those people under medical surveillance, my 6 mos. is in June and getting anxious about if it will happen or not. At least all my imaging was done before all this started. Again, painful to not be with Mr. Di and waiting in the car, but at least he's being seen and we can talk to them through the phone and patient portal.
May 18, 20205 yr The "medicinal" effects of weed are so overhyped it drives me nuts. And this is coming from someone who thinks it sound be legal and studied extensively.

The parents of kids with the very small subset of seizures that respond to weed yes. The vast majority of others most just get disappointed when the miracle cure they've been promised doesn't pan out. Again it has effects and should be studied aggressively, and morally I think it should be legal. But it's proponents badly overreach when talking about medical effects of weed. Pet peeve of mine.

My wife gets great relief from her migraines thanks to CBD oil. her alternative before that ? tons of scripts that did little to nothing for her while dealing with numerous side effects. its benefits are not over-hyped.

May 18, 20205 yr 2 hours ago, Green_Guinness said: I think one of the main issues with this virus is the public isn't getting consistent information about it. It seems there are different reports coming from sources all over. For instance, the idea that it's mostly only a problem for people 65+ and who have an already existing health condition (and then really only certain ones make them more vulnerable to it, like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc.). Then you have people saying there are instances of younger people dying from it, but you rarely hear if they had an already existing medical condition. I understand this is a new virus and the doctors are still learning new things about it all the time, but if there was a more organized way of presenting a more unified version of info to the public I think that would help people get on the same page about what to do. Seems people are too divided over how to live life right now. You have people who want to try and stay at home as much as possible and always wear a mask/gloves and you have people who think it's not a big deal and we need to open up the country again. The woman who is the Flyers' in-house reporter has it and has been blogging about in the hopes to help others understand what they're dealing with if they have it or think they do. She said it started with a sore throat then really bad debilitating headaches for 4-5 days then loss of taste/smell and constantly feeling fatigued. One of my former co-workers at our other store has been out of work since January with a broken shoulder she needs surgery for which was postponed in mid March. She is 61 and only has 1 lung due to being a lung cancer survivor 15 years ago. I was worried for her thinking she would be a very high risk to the virus, but she is certain she's had it (and says he doctor also thinks she had it) and is looking into getting the antibody test for it. When I told her about the Flyers' in-house reported and described the symptoms, she said she had all of them except the sore throat. I asked her how her breathing was and she said 'wheezy', like she was constantly smoking a cigarette. So it sounds like nobody really knows that much about this virus, how it could affect anyone except if you're senior citizen age and/or have a pre-existing medical condition then you're most at risk. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot. Taryn Hatcher has it?

I'm glad she gets relief from it, but for the vast majority of patients with migraines, seizures, etc do not. Now do I think if it was totally free to study we'd be able to distill some very useful and consistent medicines from various components? Absolutely. It obviously has many effects that are beneficial to certain people. But my annoyance at the hypocrisy of making it illegal and difficult to study only slightly outweighs my frustration at people hyping it like snake oil. It gets downright predatory in places.
