NAT and other tanker stocks?

No, it's because he dares to contradict the Messiah of the right wing death cult. ETA: I know.  No politics.  Don't care.  It's good or evil in this battle.  Hiding your head in the sand is the same as taking a stand for evil.

The original post can be unclear, and may or may not come from a verifiably useful source.  The "debunking" site you gave is straight crap, as it spends its entirety debunking strawmen. YES, the WHO, along with anyone else with a background in medicine, biology, or common sense, will tell you...

That's how epidemics work. A while ago, it gets spread to a handful of peoplee.  One cycle later, it's doubled (or worse if people are mingling freely).  Several cycles later, which for this disease has meant five day periods in most countries, but less here because we don't take it seriously...

Those are cute questions for competent societies in good times.  The supposed "hardship" of a family having to live on $75,000 is laughable compared to the actual issues being faced by people and society right now. You might have to sell and move?  Explain it to the kids?  Retire later or on...

Wait till you get to the chapter on exponential growth, then revisit.

Having read all of T.X.'s posts throughout, it sounds an awful lot more to me like, "Those who vocally disagree with the experts in matters of life and death are in danger of contributing to loss of life."

No.  It also isn't what he did until Mitch McConnell and the fascist majority tried to steal $500BN to dole out free of oversight for personal and political gain.  Thank God the democrats were on the watch.  Evil held at bay at least one more day.

Really? In my state, we have like 100 confirmed cases total, and toilet paper is spoken of like a myth.

This is what I mean when I say American exceptionalism as a national ethos will be put to the test.  We sincerely believe, in aggregate, that we're different from other people in the world because of our birth place.  That we're the one country in the world whose intensive care potential won't...

This isn't an either/or scenario, nor do we have to "decide what numbers we want to go with."  This is a false dichotomy. Shutting down while we (try to) contain will undoubtedly have a staggering economic impact.  What seems to be lost on that side of the argument is that letting the disease...

1.10 - JOSH ROSEN, ARZ What could go right?  He gets the vets on his side, early.  I can only imagine the litany of promises Arizona brass has to lay at Fitzgerald's feet in order to lure him back for another year.  It seems as if the combo of going out to acquire Bradford, plus (presumably)...

In order drafted.  One scenario each way, just to get people thinking. 1.01 - BAKER MAYFIELD, CLE What could go right?  Short answer: the skill position talent.  Mayfield's crazy record of college level success had at least something to do with running a scheme, with a talent surplus, that...

Right, especially with respect to Brees. Drew Brees is a mechanical freak.  In college, he could stand in the pocket and generate enough pace and tight spin on a deep ball, without having to throw his entire body into it or buy time to maximize his weight transfer, that he could operate in very...

Something I didn't mention wherever else it was that I was ruminating on Chubb's chances this year... His outlook for 2018 turns a lot rosier IF Tyrod can hold off Mayfield for a while (or, if Mayfield "fails to push Tyrod" for a while). Mayfield is going to need his backfield to offer him a...
