No one is debating that, so why are you bringing it up? Is that all you know is anti-trump this anti-trump that? Do you not have a bright enough spectrum of intelligence to debate anything or discuss anything but how much of a pompous asshole Trump is? Open your mind sir there’s so many other things to discuss. We all know Trump is an idiot there’s no need to keep bringing that into every debate.

I am in the middle of reading old Arthur C. Clarke novels and a book on Middle Eastern history written by an author with a strong pro-Isreal bias. My attack on the San Diego Public Library has slowed considerably since I started staying home most days and my son gave me a seat on his Netflix and HBOMax accounts.

If you like history check out "The Crusades Through Arab Eyes.

Also...this book is great.

Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, The Battle of Lepanto, and the Conquest of the Center of the World.

And if you want to read about one of the greatest generals of antiquity...

Belisarius, The Last Roman General.

Highlights of the Biden plan. The testing is insanity. By the time it is in place the worst of the crisis will have passed....it only ensures testing casedemics will be used to shut schools, sports and businesses into the future since they aren't going to have all those COVID testing sites sit empty. The eviction moratorium is going to cause increasing structural damage to the underlying economy the longer it goes on. The overall amount also increases the likelihood of a stagflation scenario. The $15 minimum wage will hurt small businesses at a time they are looking to get on their feet and make it less likely Rs like Collins, Murkowski and Romney will sign onto this and also posses a stagflation risk.

Continuing the eviction moratorium is so misguided. Proof of how stupid our politicians are and their hatred for owners of any sort. My 88 year old mom has a couple rental units that she relies on for income. A jackass tenant is using Covid as an excuse and hasn't paid in 8 months and is such an asshole he caused the other tenant to moveout. She has absolutely no ability to evict him, he continues to live rent free while she struggles. Eventually she might be able to get a judgement for unpaid rent which wont be worth the paper its written on. Unfortunately, the stress may get to her before he can even be evicted. So shameful.

My parents are in the same boat. What’s worse is they were all set to ride out their year long isolation at the beach house but the tenant stopped paying and they couldn’t do anything about it.

Giant middle finger to seniors who with hard work developed a small RE portfolio so they didn't have to rely on SS. I'd say that landlords should get a bailout as well, but honestly we can't spend our way out of the lockdown. Unfortunately just more legislation to have citizens be dependent on government support.

You are absolutely right in landlords should receive the bailout for the problems they caused with state and federal government moratoriums. Unfortunately Biden’s latest 1.9 trillion bailout plan will focus on state governments. More school union payoffs and any other special interest they need to payoff for his election. Completely corrupt government we have across the board.
 
Not a reason for them to halt vaccination or to dissuade anyone from taking it, but this probably will add fuel to the public health expert's fire that they need to mandate the vaccine "to protect the vulnerable".

Who is he eff is stupid enough to wear a mask while playing? Just shows the dearth of knowledge.

Some states are only letting kids return to practice and/or Play with a mask on at ALL times. LA Co has said gyms can open up outdoors but a mask must be worn at all times. So you ask who is stupid enough...out so called leaders who demand it. That’s who! Especially the one who states we should wear a mask while eating, removing between bites but minimize how often you touch your mask!
