I quit my 6 figure Devops job in 2013 (was still called web ops at the time) and have been fine. Invested in some as-is cash only real estate in the hood (2 months on the MLS, not even wholesalers would touch it), learned how to roof, plumb, wire, manage section 8 tenants, seller finance, etc. Became Republican (Dodd-Frank screws over under the table immigrants who can't get FHA loans). Just keep learning. About to start a used car dealership. Tremendous margins and all you need is Chilton, Haynes, and youtube.
There are several MSM sites reporting the death toll of US corona victims and they hover around 500 total at the moment. Note that they're very liberally grouping deaths into the corona bucket so I expect the number to be much lower in a post mortem. It's going to be like Trump's 2016 win where everyone was left scratching their heads and wondering how their math/fake science failed them.
My flu death rate of 200/day comes from the CDC's last year figure of 34000 / 6 months (a really stretched flu season).
Can we trust Italy's numbers? They're attributing any questionable death to corona to hide their embarrassing influenza death rate. This can almost explain USA's minuscule death toll at 500 (influenza season averages 200/day).
Guarantee you deaths will be less than swine flu deaths. But you will just say it's because of our amazing response, the same response being treated by MSM as inadequate. Just remember it was the Democrats/MSM willing to go scorched earth on the economy to push this pandemic narrative.
It is dumb. In the USA Corona deaths @ 150 so far while flu deaths @ 34K/year. Even Swine Flu had 4K deaths and MSM didn't bat an eye. Italy proving single payer socialized medicine has less talented clinicians and administration.
Lots of misinformation in this thread. I host economical listings on airbnb and have had over 300 stays in the last 2 years and get plenty of bad reviews. Half of my guests are repeats who are just there for work and don't bother to review. The other half will leave 2, 3, 4 stars largely because they're not used to being around hispanics and blacks, which triggers airbnb to threaten me with being delisted, which would screw over my returning guests who are happy with the value. I price my listing at the bottom 25% median and clearly state that the neighborhood is multiculturally and socioeconomically diverse. It is a tremendous value for the area but there will always be guests with 5 star tastes and 1 star budget.
100%. The safest cities in America have the least gun control. Maine passed constitutional carry 5 years ago with much resistance and last year was voted the safest place to live in America. Meanwhile cities like Chicago with the strictest laws are murder capitals. Liberals then say but the guns are coming from X, Y, Z! Well why aren't X, Y, Z murder capitals? Let's deal with the root of the problem and clearly it's not guns/the symptom.
