    According to Comichron the orders for #1 were 68k and the orders for #2 were 40k (roughly a 41% drop in sales). Typically the first book will sell far better than any other and then decline until it...

    Ah yes, if you don't believe in high taxation and government intervention in the private sphere you clearly hate the poor.

    So if you give money to a park you frequent it doesn't count? What about to library you're a member of? How dare people give money to a charity that happens to be close to them.

    I often wonder how Trump can have any hope of winning reelection and then I come here and realize just how insane his opposition is.


    Anyhow, I figured ya'll could use a break from the outrage du...

    Aw that's so cute, although I do have to admit that I miss when people who didn't obsess over Trump every waking hour were merely Russian spies.

    Ooh let me ask, is it still secretly pro-Trump to...

    So let me get this straight, it's a conspiracy theory to point out that China likes to use money (either direct payments or threats to cut off market access) to get people to toe the party line?

    To continue the theme of most of my recent posts about why nobody, anywhere, ever should have any praise for how China handled anything involving this virus and why we should not trust any of their...

    I was more making fun of China than defending anything regarding Trump. But you do you.

    Yes a lot of people are still working right now but a whole lot of people are not, just take a look at the explosion in unemployment claims if you want to see the tsunami we're facing.

    Oh, and as a simple aside. One of the reasons you don't accept disease tests from just anyone:

    China gave the Czech Republic 150K tests for the virus. 80% of the the tests provided false...

    If you don't think economic considerations are going to start affecting public policy decisions then you're an idiot.

    You can argue about how we go about doing this, which industries should be...

    Anyone dismissing the economy and concerns over the effect these lock downs are having on it is whistling past the graveyard.

    The economy isn't just massive corporations or banks, hell they'll be...

    Ah yes, clearly she cares greatly about helping the nation and is not simply trying to use an emergency to push a wish list that otherwise would never have a chance of passing. You can tell she's...

    It could be worse, he could be praising China's actions regarding the current crisis.

    Just to cap off my previous comments on anybody stupid enough to believe China's claims:

    There's a difference between not taking something seriously enough and actively beating and torturing your own citizens in order to avoid embarrassment. Trumps a buffoon but the Chinese government...

    No, you don't get to defend China on this. The current crisis is a direct result of their incompetent and corrupt government:

    And that's not happening without a civil war.
