Zombie The Coronavirus Financial Thread (Personal, Local, National)

My father once taught me how to change a flat tire without a jack. We had a flat tire and he had no jack so he used that method to change the flat tire to a full sized spare.

 

Trump know bankruptcy better than anyone else and that's why he alone can fix it.

 

HCP, excellent question.
I've wondered this for many years and I recently learned the answer. The DOW is based on 30 of the largest companies with no small nor even any mid sized companies represented. It's the larger companies that Trump is helping not the mid sized companies and especially not the smaller companies. It's the mid sized and smaller ones that are doing most of the suffering. The largest are raking in the dough like bandits. What am I saying, they are bandits.

The brunt of economic pain has been borne by young and lower-wage workers, whose jobs are typically more vulnerable to Covid-related layoffs.

“There is little doubt that the pandemic will exacerbate inequality in incomes and wealth, both in the short term and in the longer term,” said Miles Corak, an economics professor who studies income inequality at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

No Timbers work? That sucks dude.

 

Not this season. Been in this business 20 years and this will be the first season I’m not working Timbers games. They signed a new TV deal and went SUPER cheap. Not even using our normal TV trucks and cameras. You won’t see nearly the quality of super slo-mo replays and camera angels you have been used to seeing over the past years. Went cheap and didn’t bring in the normal crew. At least now I can maybe go watch a few in person.

 

Bummer. I think they’re making a mistake with that. Quality video is more important than ever right now in my opinion.

 

So I sit down to watch the Timbers game last night after the Blazers game...... at the 6 minute mark, the Timbers score their first goal. The broadcast was in a replay sequence and MISSED THE GOAL! The worst thing you can possibly do in soccer is miss a goal. Usually because there are normally only 1 or 2 a game. This is exactly what I was talking about earlier. WOW!

 

Wait until A.I. is controlling the cameras

 

It already can.

 

Already is homie. Mostly studio cameras, but been like for years.

 

The fact that Iverson wants to get into the studio is almost laughable.

 

Yah that was bad. It almost made me think you were working!

 

Wait until some guy in India is controlling the AI.

 

Hope he knows what a back door screen is.
