Nooooooooooo!

Eh... Not bad, but should have never happened in the first place. Covid was going to kill who it was going to kill. Governors and yes, even Trump overstepped their boundaries. Should have just let nature do its thing. Nah, let's pretend we can stop an airborne virus.

It’s just rich because the fake news media has been saying “but Obama got higher percentage growth for a couple of quarters than Trump ever did!” I mean that argument only works on the unsophisticated who don’t understand economics and how bounce back from recessions makes for large economic growth gains. But NOW Trumps administration has a record number that is not likely to ever be beaten.

Until the next electiondemic....

Record Growth in Q3

But Joe Biden said it isn't enough, it falls short.

We're now getting record growth of Covid here in IL. Wouldn't be shocked if the governor shuts down polling places Tuesday in the name of "safety" and tries to fuck this election up. As each day and even hour goes by and I see the crap I do on local TV with Pritzker, I'm convinced IL is in play for Trump.

Question to everyone (gonna highjack this post, lol). How is it possible for an individual to verify the Covid stats? Basically, how do we even know they're real? One would likely have to audit every hospital, pharmacy, clinic, etc. to verify. That's simply impossible. Covid is real. My SIL and BIL have it now in Austria. But the testing. There's simply no way to trust the data. None. Pritzker could just be making it up.

We'll see. Starting to think Covid is the mechanism to kick the can down the road and cancel the election in some states. Tin foil hat stuff, but none of this makes sense as someone that's been through 5 airports, rented 3 boats, stayed in 6 hotels, eaten out dozens of times, etc. since this all started. I'm doing activities where I should have gotten Covid, yet haven't. I'd say 60-70% of people never wear masks where I live. This shit just doesn't compute.

What, exactly, does it mean to say Covid is real?

The tests themselves. What prevents government from just making shit up? In my world nothing. Covid is a virus that is real. I don’t believe the testing is what I’m getting at.

Shaman says

33.1% growth in one quarter.

No, it's 7.4% growth in one quarter, or 1.074^4 (33.1% annualized).

Doesn’t much matter. Much of that 2nd quarter loss is straight out gone. Specifically with use based taxes. IL is now going full retard with zero evidence of increased cases besides them just saying so. Like cases matter anyway. Just got word a friends is likely gonna go BK on his restaurant with this round of shut downs. Governors should be personally liable for this shit.

If you’re gonna go BK, then why shut down? Stay open and file a lawsuit and get an injunction. Your business has nothing to lose. Fines have been nullified by the courts for many businesses that stayed open. Tell your friend to grow a pair of balls!

I had pretty bad asthma during the California fires and went in to see what could be done.

What they did was a Wuhan Virus test, but they also told me that it's "only 70%" accurate. If it's 50% accurate that sounds like it's random, giving no information at all.

So if it's 70% accurate that means pretty close to nothing.

Liquor license man. If he wants to come back on the other end of BK and fights the governor on this, he likely won't be able to get a liquor license again. When you're a billionaire and there's a pandemic, you don't give a fuck about anyone. Pritzker is a pile of shit. Not a fan of the wording, but most political signs I see are "Fuck Pritzker" here in IL. He's not even on the ballot.... lol.

There's the tests themselves that are inaccurate for sure. The other layer I was talking about was the bureaucratic layer. You have hundreds and maybe thousands of sources for these tests. How could an individual verify that they're even telling the truth and not just making the data up? You can't. Cases don't kill but they're "scary" to some people. I want to write something that could get you in trouble Patrick, but I'll just say it this way, Pritzker needs to get out of office here in IL.
