Supply Chain Meltdown

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-20/a-covid-19-supply-chain-shock-born-in-china-is-going-global

Will be interesting how many companies adopt a distributed internet like model for their supply chains. Who knows.

Don't here to much about LATM::
"""
Peru’s state of emergency and nationwide lockdown have led major mining companies like Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Newmont Corp. to curb copper production there. The same is happening in other mining centers like Chile, Canada and Mongolia, with economists at Scotiabank saying the initial result from the hit in Chile and Peru alone leading to the loss of some 325,000 metric tons of copper production, or about 1.7% of global annual output.

Trump Tells GOP He Wants Payroll Tax Waived Through Election

"""

Notice, by the way, that these measures would help the economy in an election year, and therefore arguably help Trump politically. But Democrats are willing to do the right thing anyway — a stark contrast to the behavior of Republicans after the 2008 financial crisis, when they offered scorched-earth opposition to anything that might mitigate the damage

why Democrats lose

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/schumers-supreme-court-saga-not-over-as-gop-presses-forward-on-historic-censure

Constantly letting the GOP reframe the argument. It is why they always lose. Always playing defense. 

Considering what Schumer said, and how it pales in comparison to the things out of Trump's mouth, the GOP pushes, and he cowers and bends. Typical Democrat.

If the GOP really cared about what he said they would have censured their chief more than once.

Make the numbers better

Well this will certainly lead to less reports, and more cases like this going un-noticed or not investigated.

Clearview hacked

So, the company that illegally scrapped all of the facebook, twitter, and other social media sites, got itself hacked. Something tells me this was a case of hacktivism.

The other thing I find funny about this whole thing. Not the hack per se, but clearview.
Facebook is pissed this person scraped all those pictures.
Isn't that how Zuck started Facebook????
