Tomorrow's jobs report could very well be an absolute bloodbath, by the way.

So at least rates are coming down as a result of all this bullshit.

And I dunno know about that man, certainly sounds like stagflation to me.

There is NOT more measles.  Look at the charts.  We are no where near 2019 stats and we are only at a .0004% of catching it.

401k. -2.25 since Jan 1.

a target date fund. and 3 varients of index.

grew substantially under sleepy Joe. Something like 18% last year.

the 1 year as of Feb 28 was 11.25%

Put it in something stable or you will go nuts watching it every day.

First off, the numbers are through Feb.  You are comparing to a completed year.   Second, yes my likelihood might be exceedingly low because I have modern MMR.  But it's spreading through the unvaccinated community at a higher rate.  And while those that were stupid enough to not take them to support their politics, I'm more worried about the infants and immuno-compromised that rely on heard immunity.  

The county where this took off (Gaines) had a 5% opt-out rate just a few years ago.  Now it's 14%.  No surprise.  Ft Worth kinder students were 95% MMR vaxed in 2019.  Now incoming number is 84%.  You don't think that will make a difference?

I am vaxxed and most sane people too.  This is only going to have an affect on them.

It shouldn't bee too many years before they realize how dumb this hill is to climb, or not.  The hardcore religious here in NY have been getting by for years so I honestly don't know but, if you are vaxxed and have your offspring vaxxed, this is nothing.

The amount of people that get infected will be a drop in the bucket too so maybe I am wrong about them learning their lesson?

aint touching it. simply tracking it.ao come from the ronco school of investment. like the ronco oven. set it and forget it.

loat 35% through the pandemic. then sleepy joe fucked all that up by reversing my losses and allowing for 18% gains overall.

for my age it IS an aggressive plan but I fucked off for the bulk of my life and here is where I am. I stay fit and healthy,  I can still drive earning bank when others are retiring.

Remember that the newborn, elderly and sick rely on herd immunity.  So it isn't just the people who chose this path.

I don't see it as a problem.  If you do numbers and probabilities the percentage is still really low.

We have had the Orthodox here in the city not vaxxed for all of humanity and it never creeps up out of control and they do walk among us every day.  That's my take on it.  Real life experience and numbers to back it up.

14 cases last year.  Thats not a lot for a city of 4 million people. .000035%  So i was actually off on my percentage by a few hundred thousandths.

Orthodox Jews are not anti-vax.  I don't know why you think they are. 

And of course you are not worried if you are vaxxed.  That's the whole point.  But when do you get concerned?  When 14% becomes 30%?  

Jearlpam0925

Yeah man not to pile on but that's the exact problem every epidemiologist and public health official has been trying to pound into our collective heads. Just because you're vaxed doesn't mean the idea of letting anti-vax people to proliferate is a public health benefit. The more this mindset takes hold the worse off we are. It's why COVID is never necessarily over because it's here to stay because we're an incredibly stupid species.

This is just in 2019:

We should carry this over to the other thread actually.

Hi, it's Tuesday, less than two months into the administration and Trump is costing me a lot of money again today with his stupid statements about tariffs.  The market is reacting, as it should, to the uncertainty.  So once again, he is giving us all of the market downside of a closed economy and none of the "upside" of higher prices.  Swell.

It's just a minor disruption.  He's going to make us all rich with millions and millions of dollars!  He's going to pave the streets with gold and we will all be fabulously wealthy!  He even said so!  "We're going to become so rich, you're not gonna know where to spend all that money. I'm telling you—just watch!"

Yeah... Ah uh....

I tried to watch because Sam Seder is phenomenal. I couldn’t watch the entire thing because of the non-Sam Seders in the room.

Sounds like you have a severe case of TDS. Spend less time here and more time on more liberal websites. Or check out completely for the next 1,411 days.

You're probably right.  I spent some time today on Yahoo Finance and my E-trade account and all it fed me was the liberal agenda of falling equity prices.  I'm sure it's fake news.  I did my own research on Fox and there is nothing about the market tanking, that's how I know it isn't happening.
