Corona Virus

    Quote from Edward Neal

    yep, but still invested in that stock market that Bigdog says is so evil

    The stock market is a double edged sword......great if you’re making money sucks when you lose.....kinda like gambling......casinos are set up to sucker people by allowing a percentage of players to win to keep everyone coming back....but they always make a profit....stock brokers are the same....they don’t care who’s stock you own Or whether you win or lose...they just want you to keep buying and selling.....


    if I count up the times I was screwed by the international and the times I got screwed by the company....it’s probably equal......you also need to understand the international is really only concerned with keeping their jobs....in order to do that that have to throw the dues payers a bone once in a while....workers have the option to be represented by any union.....Also the international always donated that dues money to democrats....which signed NAFTA.....they Also still told everyone to vote for Killery .....,and when they started losing their jobs because of corporate greed they went crying to Trump to try to save their asses.....The union is a double edged sword.....just like insurance...pay your premium but we can still deny your claim...

    The government doesn’t care if your 401k loses money or makes money....either way they are going to collect the tax money...So the more people they can suck into it the more money they will make.....they can manipulate the stock market ....to let you make money or they can take it back.....just when you think you’re ahead the stock market drops...and money flows from your 401k.....I guess you think it’s an accident....Just like the casinos....let them win once in a

    while...they'll keep adding their hard earned money and we’ll Just keep taking it...and they think they will be able to retire....LOL....as a millionaire ....LOL....they will have to work until they die....LOL ....and we’ll still get what’s left....LOL

    Been in the market 25 years - has increased my wealth by leaps and bounds - even in the lean Obama years!! Whoever you are getting your info from is terribly flawed - or you have an incompetent broker!! I’ll always bet on the American economy ... unless Biden wins 😩😩

    I might not be right but I can sure sound like it

    the stock market historically Has increased Over the years.....


    that doesn’t negate the fact that 401ks for most people is going to be a pipe dream...besides people that were already rich....can anyone show me anybody that after 40 years became a 401k millionaire? I’ll wait....I’m talking about the average working joe making -40-60,000 a year...I read years ago to live the lifestyle you currently have, realistically need to save 50% of your income.....the majority of people are living above their income/paycheck to paycheck Now ....they can’t even live on 100% of their income now so how are they ever going to live on 50% and save 50?
    I also read you should never invest money you can’t afford to lose. You don’t want to invest money you need to buy bread...disposable income ....money you can afford to lose.....not many people fall into that category...


    and there is still the 401k corporate greed cycle involved if you participate...

    Not the place to discuss dollars. Received no help from government, parents, or other sources. I can say that along life I watched others throw money at expensive things which I could have chosen that route. I brown bagged lunch, stayed away from Starbucks, made my own pot of coffee. Dinner at home with occasional dine outs. Purchased good used cars as opposed to new.

    Had a second (and third) job specifically for investing into the stock market. In short it was a sacrifice and yes a gamble.


    The way I achieved this is open to everyone, every race or gender, period! I'm 57 and retired. I could not afford college but I could afford books. I studied them a few hours a night, every night. No excuses (highlighted to much stuff). Still have those books after 30+ years (below). Joined the national guard, worked hard and learned all I could. First civilian technician job that opened up I applied for interviewed for and was hired. Went on to become the lead technician in the jet engine teardown and build up facility. Worked at a car wash into my 30s at the same time. I'm not a millionaire but I am able to retire at 57. It's because I sacrificed and invested in the stock market.


    Congratulations on a job well done, life gives you what you put in.:00000436:

    Is not that I am mean, I just don't sugarcoat what I say.

    looking backwards......since there were not a lot of tests around in the first 2-3 months.....who and how do they know people that died in that period ...died from COVID? Sham numbers not to be believed.....I might believe half of that number.....But we neeed to see heart attack, regular flu, car accidents, gun shots and other numbers first...

    The truth about COVID...


    Credit goes to FunCycle for finding this video. It is also in the “Politics sucks” thread but many of you ignore that thread (& it’s more pertinent here anyway).

    The video is lengthy (49 minutes) but you MUST watch it if you want to know the truth about what’s really going on with this “pandemic.” Yes, it’s long & a little dry but filled with eye-opening facts. The video was posted 3 days ago & already has 783,000 views...

    WOW! I just watched the whole video. Last night it was too late to watch the whole video

    sounds just like the events that lead to the Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax. Because the same play book was used.....how many world leaders do you think are involved in the deep state, Illuminati, new world order? Every president we had since JFK was.....except Trump.....think about all the different events they all created worldwide.....most of them included American and world wide deaths......population reduction....forcing countries to comply or die.....all connected to the world bank.....every country in the world except China, North Korea and Iran is using the world bank...it’s about money and power and control..

    according to the lawyer video....positive tests do not mean you need treatment....we are looking at the wrong numbers....we need to know how many positives required treatment...still way too much...conflicting info....we know they want to use positive test numbers to run up the numbers to make trump look bad....but they don’t reflect the truth....

    I’m trying to connect some dots here ...there is verifiable proof Obama gave the Wuhan lab $3 million dollars that happened when he was in office.

    Democratic governors sent sick people into nursing homes killing thousands of innocent elderly in NY, PA, Wisconsin and 2 other states...

    According to the video if I heard it correctly...Germany also sent COVID people into nursing homes killing people.
    we don't know if it happened in other countries....but the question is why did they do it....was everyone reading the same COVID play book? And we know the CDC and The WHO Lied about many COVID things....did Obama want China to work (collaborate) on a unique strain of virus for the deep state to release here? Did the virus actually escape the lab in China and travel around the world or was it released here first.... Could that be why trump is calling it the China virus, because he knows what Obama was up to....and that Biden and his kid got millions from China....And Biden knows about it that’s why he has all these Great ideas on how to fix the virus problem.? If trump actually had the virus was it An accident or was it an assassination attempt?
    there are way too many unanswered questions concerning this entire China virus. I think I’m more right about this than wrong. That video opens up a giant can of worms.

    Quote from Bigdog

    don’t waste you vote on Biden yet...


    They don't care.

    I remember a democrat friend lecturing me about my support for Trump in 2016 after the "grab 'em by the p*ssy" remarks surfaced. That same democrat didn't care:


    • That Hillary stood by her rapist husband

    • That Biden sexually assaulted a woman

    • That Biden is REALLY touchy and feely with children and VERY VISIBLY makes them uncomfortable


    They truly believe that if they vote in enough democrats that they will have a "everything is free" utopia paid for by magical flying unicorns that poop out money for left wing programs...

    so how come republicans don’t fall for that BS? The majority of democrats think like that...nobody ever gave me anything free.....I never expected it....why do they all expect and think they deserve free stuff.....because they worked hard all their lives....because they are so educated.....their education consisted of a very good brain washing curriculum...Again why are republicans ammuned to their BS?..
