They both are terrible leaders

I'm not sure that is a fair statement regarding Biden. He really hasn't been a leader in an executive branch nor was he ever a governor or mayor. He chaired two Senate committees but I'm not sure if that is really considered a leader. He was Vise President though and has most certainly been in the same room when decisions were made.

Party leaders with platforms.

My wife is part-owner of a (fortunately) very productive farm in eastern Washington. Trump's tariffs have been a major problem for farmers. Phone glass is not relevant to the farm situation.

Farmers know about putting all eggs in one basket... when the western countries sold out to globalization in the 90s-2000's, these situations were set up.  The risks were known but ignored by greed.

You would think countries would learn.  Saudi brought USA to knees in early 70's.  They could also have turned off the pipes at nearly anytime since and have done the same.    One must prepare for these contingencies.

Take the Wuhan Virus. The only country set up to deal with it was Taiwan. They learned from SARS and put measures in place in advance.... good planning.

Hate to say it, but politics gets boring real fast.  This cake is baked.  Nobody's opinion is changing.

Now, with all the oil fracking in North America, there is a glut of oil, and OPEC has to  accept some competition on the global oil market.

Well, yes, the part about the tariffs.  I'm tired of the lies.

"The only country set up to deal with it was Taiwan. They learned from SARS and put measures in place in advance.... good planning."  WRONG!  USA was set up not only in this country but on a world stage.  The United States had measures set in place after SARS and Ebola.  The current administration took all that apart.  Fact.  Look it up.  Both of them are bad leaders, you say?  One of them hasn't lead yet and the other isn't a leader and cannot be described that way, obviously.

Get ready for mandatory masks.  Both France and Germany have gone to mandatory masks in public.  I just bought some very stylish Datsun Z masks.  They are going to be all the rage.  And speaking of masks; does anyone know how well ZCON did with virus transmission?  Did anyone get the plague from ZCON?

That's impressive.

Is the number scale thousands, tens of thousands?

Farmers are committing suicide over trumps trade war with China. We have to stop that nut job and his deal making before he "smartly" bankrupts the country. Stable genius my azz.

(I was going to post this in the joke section, but felt the need for some levity. We need to keep a sense of humor during this thing.)

So... now Trump is saying the doctors are profiteering with Covid-19 diagnosis, and Jr. is saying the docs are morons and the death count is nothing.

I can't even begin to imagine the death count if it weren't for the medical professionals who are exhausting themselves and even dying for our care. But... at the current rates of increase in infections and hospitalizations we may soon come to understand the true impact on our medical professionals as they are potentially overwhelmed and unable to save lives. 😢
