Every liberal's wet dream.

Isn't that the American Dream...a shootout at noon down main street ? Make America great again!

Can this be serious when it includes China?

And their #5 too.  Maybe we should start lying about our numbers.

Because Andrew Cuomo, the governor of NY, has been saying this repeatably on the news. 

Pretty easy question.

As I note no smiley, I take you seriously: what makes you believe him or anyone else?

Don't forget Jared and Ivanka too.
They have a lot of experience running small businesses.  Their expertise is very valuable.  70% of American businesses are small.  Most photography firms are small. It's critical that policies consider these firms and get it right.  It's not all about the large corporations, banks and individuals.  We'll never recover if small firms don't get back to work.
I just threw up.

Right, so what's wrong with having them all at the table? It's not as if on the day you start to lift restrictions that the pandemic will go away.

What's the benefit of having him gone? Is it so important that no one contradict Trump? Is that really what's important here.

Lack of calling him out is always important: gotta keep the myth alive and the sheep in order.

Wait, are you saying politicians lie?  My God. 

Lets see, because the medical community is largely agreeing with him.

I didn't watch it but this was in the Google news and the description in this British journal is quite damning. I know, fake news.

Wounded by media scrutiny, Trump turned a briefing into a presidential tantrum
A toddler threw a self-pitying tantrum on live television on Monday night. Unfortunately he was 73 years old, wearing a long red tie and running the world’s most powerful country.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/13/trump-coronavirus-meltdown-media-authority

Apparently he was riled up the most about this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/politics/coronavirus-trump-response.html

STATE Surveillance of this sort will never fly in the USA.

Quite right: rather die any day than have been tracked!

Shoot them on sight.

I can just picture it.  It's 4am in the morning, drizzling outside, no one one the street.  A loud rapping at the door wakes a half-asleep, bleached blonde in pink shorty pajamas who slowly unchains her door unsnapping two dead-bolt locks and opens it.  Three burly dicks in trench coats stand before her blocking the exit and flashing their badges.

"Just where is 212-347-8911?  The last blip we got he wuz here."

"Ah" responds the frightened damsel. "He,... he left to work the midnight shift."

"Likely story," snaps the big one. "We don't believe he's leaving  it home.  We're taking you in for more questioning.  Now put on your nitrile gloves and come with us. "

Absolutely!  "Those who give up freedom for safety deserve neither," Ben Franklin. 

Sorry, but I will not allow myself to loose sight of freedoms just because of hysteria.

His message has been changing over time. Wonder why?

This is how science and medicine work and are supposed to work. As more evidence comes in, theories, ideas, and recommendations change to match that evidence. That's the power of science, and if Fauci had stuck to the same exact advice all along I would be very suspicious.

Cameras are but one aspect mentioned in the article. And has nothing to do with the point I was making. Trump took on China early, and this is the result: many companies are relocating their production somewhere else.

Delusional much? I know there is no hope but I still think it's my duty to educate you.

You are in Serbia now, right? What do Serbians think about Trump? Because I have a good idea what other countries do and it's not expressed in the positive range.

Be that as it may, let's go over this production thing.

1. The US doesn't benefit, but those countries.
2. This is just an incentive, we'll see how many will actually take it.
3. This was in a camera news. There are 2 parts of this:
     A. the cameras makers will likely focus on the high margin cameras for the future, many of which are already produced in Japan. Fujifilm among others.
     B. the camera makers were already moving production out of China, in Thailand or Vietnam (see Nikon, Olympus, etc)
4. The most important. This happened because the Coronavirus. If you say that Trump is responsible, then he is responsible for Coronavirus, see the logical fallacy here. Wait, don't answer, it's better not to confirm the suspicion.
