I decided to buy a gun today. Figured now was the time if I ever was going to buy one. I was amazed how unbelievably easy it was, and the forms needed were bordering on the ridiculous. One of the questions was “Are you a drunkard.” I’m not kidding.
When I sign up a new financial advisory client, they need 5x more forms and information than what was needed to walk away, in 30 minutes, with a brand new pistol and concealed carry permit.

It’s kind of like asking a criminal “are you planning on committing a crime?” No? Oh, OK then!

As the stock market falls amid the spread of the virus, Limbaugh claimed that the outbreak was being used to "bring down" Trump, dismissing the virus's symptoms on Monday.
"Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump. Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus ... The coronavirus is the common cold, folks," he claimed.---------------------------------------------

for NY/NJ folks: you know I am not the alarmist type, and yes I'm still not panicking.
but I am close to someone who is on those high-level medical calls these days and.... it's not good. privately, they already say even more emphatically today what Gov Cuomo suggested: we're not going to have enough medical beds and staff in the area over the next couple of weeks.
we'll see how dramatically the benefit of the just-issued closure orders will be 30 days from now - it will help a lot, obviously, but still maybe not enough.
if you know someone who is still commuting to work on buses or trains - or even commuting into NYC at all - please tell them to stop immediately. lie to their bosses if they have to. and don't pick now to come up with any other injury or ailment because...
some states may be seen to have overreacted, in retrospect, months from now (or not).
spoiler alert: NY and NJ were too slow, as experts now say is all but certain to play out by the end of this week, or next week (there will be plenty of blame to go around - but for now we need to focus).
sorry to seem like Debbie Downer, but this seems way too important not to share.
be safe out there, NY/NJ! (and everyone else, too. outside of the aforementioned WV, anyway.)finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
