Subj : White House Polls To : Dale Shipp From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sat Mar 07 2020 23:27:15 Hello Dale, >LL>Seven days. Stock market down 3,500+ points. The cause? >LL>Incompetence of the White House, in dealing with the coronavirus >LL>pandemic. > >I believe that the stock market drop was caused by more than just the >incompetence of the White House with respect to the means to combat such >an outbreak (going back over several years when Trump disolved the >section of experts who might have dealt with it). The cause is much >wider than that -- it is the expectation of a global disruption in trade >because of the outbreak. The economies of the world are inter-connected. Pharmaceutical companies are dependent on stuff that is made elsewhere in order to market a product. If production is down in one area (such as China) some products cannot be produced, thus not marketed. That is just one factor. Another issue is the incompetence of the Trump administration in dealing with any kind of crisis. Put the two together and what do you have? A major disaster with no solution! >The USA could and certainly should be doing more than they are. Testing >is almost non existant. Denial is in the air, even as the death toll in >the USA is rising in many states. Communication of scientific >information is being suppressed and people are being fed platitudes and >mis-information by the government. Incompetence of the White House, not just in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, but with any kind of crisis. You remember the sitcom "Benson"? Only with Trump as governor. He really is that bad. Hasn't got a clue. About anything. Only this administration has no Benson to help him. --Lee -- Laying Pipe Since '88 --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0) .
