Predictions from Zero_Sum and a heart felt greeting.

Hey there’s that song. Dangerous by big data. I had heard it on the radio and made a mental note to listen to to again because I liked it despite my general cynicism toward mainstream.

Then I forgot about till now. Love it when that happens.

It’s a nice tune.

[b]Welcome to the state unemployment website…

State your reasons for being unemployed: Covid 19

State your reasons for quitting your job: I quit my job because of a deadly national and international viral pandemic where I felt unsafe working in a very public atmosphere having my own individual health exposed on a daily basis.

Do you think you could of done anything differently other than quitting on your employer?: No, probably not.[/b]

But what Biggs would like to explore more substantively is the conflict of goods between, say, a police state that orders you to stay home while being unable to provide food, and those who feel justified in defying such orders to find food, and risk criminal behavior as a result. How might either party demonstrate that their particular position is the rational one, rather than merely just the fact that each feels in synch with themselves in a world awash with chance and contingency, and just happened to end up holding the position that they do without any recourse to objective truth?

Although I actually prefer to say, “contingency, chance and change”.

Zero you broke ass dude, are doing what’s necessary for you to get your stimulus check as quickly as possible?

First they’ll look to the IRS for a direct deposit number. If you don’t have one, they look to the social security admin. But the SS might not have your current address on file…so you can go to the site and do a change of address.

If you don’t, the check will have to hunt you down, and that could take months.

All my information is up to date, but I’ll reiterate once again, by the time we actually receive physical checks in the mail, will the money be worth a damn?

Earlier I predicted seven to eight million people becoming unemployed in the United States by the end of this week, as it turns out, I was off by about three million people as the current number has made its way to ten million people unemployed nationwide in total.

Joke circulating around the United States currently:

“We didn’t even have to elect Andrew Yang or Bernie Sanders to get UBI, Donald Trump initiated it first before everybody else.” =D>

You really got to appreciate the irony here…

In the interim, Venezuela has 144 coronavirus cases and 3 deaths. The U.S. has 217,661 cases and 5,153 deaths.

[b]"More than 6.6 million people filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week, the Labor Department said Thursday, setting a grim record for the second straight week.

"The latest claims brought the two-week total to nearly 10 million.

“The speed and scale of the job losses is without precedent. Until last month, the worst week for unemployment filings was 695,000 in 1982.”[/b]

“A month ago, most forecasters still thought the United States could avoid a recession. Today, with the pandemic shuttering businesses and forcing vast layoffs, many economists are expecting a decline in gross domestic product that rivals the worst periods of the Great Depression.” NYT

So, naturally, the Dow is up 435 points.

Or is that all about oil?

Its more likely about the depression era tactic of support for the trade-base line, from the Fed, and other institutional and private sources.
The critical low appears to be 2000, however the 'mother of all baselines of support ’ can go toward 1,500 or even lower.

The market support is 99% psychological, hence Trump’s denials of the severity of the crises.

It has to do with his gamble, and the market is gambling.

Meno and Biggie, also note concerning the DOW the past two weeks they can’t even breach the 22,000-23,000 range.

This makes me believe that when things start falling or collapsing hard it will indeed from that range of numbers.

10,000 Biggie? Try 6,000-7,000 instead. =D>

22,000-23,000 DOW seems to be the bridge line or baseline currently.

Then of course there is the S&P500…
