How will the coronavirus outbreak end? I see the pandemic going through four main stages… 1. SOCIAL-DISTANCING The more we keep our distance the slower the virus will spread (Outbreak Simulator). Stay at home as much as possible. Wipe down surfaces. Keep 6 foot distance from people. I honestly wouldn’t judge you if you strapped yourself to a social-distancing donut. 2. TESTING We are starting to transition into this stage (social distancing still required). One of today’s positive news stories is that we’re starting to see Drive-thru coronavirus testing sites pop up across the United States. ‘Merica! 3. ZONES As the numbers come down, we may see the creation of “restricted zones”. In a month or so when a sizable enough portion of a population in a city/town/region test negative for the coronavirus then it’d be wise to label that area “corona-free” therefore allowing businesses to gradually reopen there. In order to keep the zone “corona-free” they could have troops and police guarding the zone’s perimeters whereby for people to be allowed to enter they’d have to undergo testing. With the Governor of California stating today that 56% of Californians could get the Coronavirus then I believe Governors from states with single-digit cases such as Alaska (9), Montana (9), and West Virginia (2) should lock down their borders. Once the “corona-free” zones increase in geographical size, we could then see it flip and we’ll just have “quarantined” zones where the troops won’t be their to keep you out, but instead to keep you in. 4. VACCININATION The end game depends on a vaccine. Experts say we are potentially 18 MONTHS AWAY FROM A VACCINE, which the vaccine will come with its own risks because usually vaccines take a DECADE to go from development to manufacturing so by fast-tracking the process we could end up with a vaccine with a lot of side-effects. I remain optimistic though in this area because there’s so much bureaucracy surrounding the normal process that I think with growing international pressure on our governments we’ll see a vaccine distributed in at least some countries sometime in 2020. CONCLUSION According to one study 86% of people with the virus are walking around undetected. This could be YOU. If so all you have to do is breathe in my direction or touch a cardboard box and I'll get it too. The true severity of the illness is also unknown. According to one report, 2 out of 3 survivors saw a 20% to 30% drop in lung function. Don’t stress too much on this point because it’s only based on a sample size of 12 survivors and overtime you could regain some of your lung capacity through cardiovascular activity, but nonetheless this report as well as reports coming out of Europe is that this vi ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQSRHmVdtdI

We need to end the Fed. The Federal Reserve makes interest rates artificially low to encourage lending. This is popular in the short term because people can buy more stuff, but it inevitably leads to massive bubbles. The Fed has a 2% inflation target, but since it completely abandoned the gold standard in 1971 inflation has averaged around 3.9% per year, which may not sound like much, but it’s a cumulative price increase of 600%. And the only reason it isn’t higher, despite a massive increase in the money supply, is because velocity has been decreasing. Velocity is the “rate at which money is exchanged in an economy.” A low velocity indicates “a general reluctance to spend money.” Once countries who use the dollar as their reserve currency start to lose faith in the dollar’s ability to retain its value then they’ll spend them on other currencies and commodities. Velocity and inflation will then pick up. Inflation acts as a hidden tax on workers and savers so looking ahead you can expect to see your wages and savings depreciate as inflation starts to converge with the money supply again. “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” — Milton Friedman The Fed is cronyist. It’s a private institution with public power. The big banks sit on its board (revolving door), receive salaries, divide the Fed’s profit among themselves, accumulate interest on government bonds, sell crappy assets to the Fed (quantitative easing), are protected from risk with the Fed acting as a Lender of Last Resort (bailouts), and those who benefit the most from an inflationary currency are those who get to touch the newly printed dollars first because they get to buy things in the economy at a discount before prices have a chance to readjust to the new money supply. The Fed is opaque. As Ron Paul said, “Freedom and central banking are incompatible.” The Fed has never been fully audited so we don’t know exactly how much money they owe and to who. How can any voter confidently consider themselves politically informed when we are kept in the dark over trillions of dollars? The Fed is not only unelected, but it’s unaccountable. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged that the Fed was responsible for the Great Depression. The Great Recession was also largely due to the Fed. Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Fransisco , said in 2005, “If the bubble was to collapse on its own, would the effect on the economy be exceedingly large? No.” And then in 2007, “I think the concerns we used to hear about the possibility of a devastating collapse — one that might be big enough to cause a recession in the U.S. economy — have been largely allayed.” She was then fired. Just kidding, she was promoted to the two most powerful monetary positions in America — Fed chair and now Secretary of Treasury. In government, it apparently pays to be wrong because had she been one of the few who had sounded the alarm then she would’ve been perceived as a poor team player. The Fed then spends billions of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate the public on how great the Fed is while corrupting academia to the point where many PhD economists are Fed apologists because their profession’s top two employers are academia and government. As Milton Friedman said, “The Fed’s relatively enhanced standing among the public has been aided by the fact the Fed has always paid a great deal of attention to soothing the people in the media and buying up most of its likely critics.” This opaque cronyism lies at the heart of our financial system where literally 50% of every transaction is money and so this unethical way in which its managed has undeniably infected the rest of our culture. The Fed is unconstitutional. Our government is a government of enumerated powers. Among the powers given to Congress is to “coin money and regulate the value thereof,” but there was no such statement saying Congress could issue paper money or create a central bank. The federal government only started issuing paper money in 1861 to fund the Civil War. In 1791, the First Bank of the United States was chartered, but it didn’t set monetary policy, regulate private banks, hold their excess reserves, or act as a lender of last resort. And yet even with these constraints, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison still believed it was unconstitutional and tyrannical so they discontinued it in 1811...

Caesar was staying in Alexandra to collect additional funds for his army when a rug was brought into his bedroom chambers. The servant unraveled the rug and out flowed the notorious Cleopatra. Startled, Caesar asked, “What’s the meaning of this?” Cleopatra regained her footing and complained to Caesar how her lying scheming siblings exiled her from the city so they could keep all the power for themselves! She begged Caesar to restore her to the Egyptian throne. She would do anything he commanded! Caesar was intrigued. The servant was asked to leave and the door was shut. To the shock of her siblings, the following morning Cleopatra emerged from Caesar’s bedroom chambers and was pronounced the new Pharaoh! Well, actually co-pharaoh. In a disturbing turn-of-events, Caesar forced Cleopatra to to marry her younger brother in the name of reestablishing family unity. I’m sure many parents have yelled at their bickering children, “You two are like an old married couple so if you keep it up I’ll have you married!”… okay maybe not… but historically it was an Egyptian custom for the royal family to intermarry to keep power in the bloodline. 9 months later, Cleopatra had Caesar’s son who she named co-pharaoh after the “unexpected” death of her husband-brother (she likely poisoned him). A few years later Cleopatra came to visit Caesar in Rome with baby in hand. Many Romans were stunned when he erected a gilded statue of her in the temple of love. Keep in mind, he was a married man. Then one morning in Rome, Cleopatra was awakened to learn her beloved had just been stabbed to death in the senate. She immediately fled the city as a roman civil ... broke out. Antony’s faction needed assistance to win the ... so he summoned Cleopatra to gauge her level of loyalty to his cause. With a continued flare for the dramatic, she entered the city by sailing up the Cydnus River in a golden boat, with purple sails, rowed by oars made of silver. She dressed in the robes of the Greek goddess Aphrodite and sat beneath a gilded canopy while attendants dressed as cupids fanned her and burned sweet-smelling incense. Antony, who equated himself with the Greek god of wine, was instantly aroused. 9 months later, she gave birth to Antony’s twins. After years of civil ..., Antony and Cleopatra were surrounded by their enemy. And in honorable Roman tradition, Antony fell on his sword, supposedly dying in Cleopatra’s arms. But Cleopatra, not one to follow tradition, tried to negotiate a surrender. Her main condition was that they let her son Caesarian live, but Octavian responded, “Two Caesars are one too many” and ordered the child’s death. Upon learning of the news, Cleopatra walked into her bedroom chambers and shut the door. T ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFp4lqyGTuE

I live and teach in Vietnam and on my way home from work the entire road was blocked off. The police commanded me and the swarms of other people to shut off our engines and keep quiet. 15 minutes later we could hear sirens in the distance and then the motorcade quietly raced by... There were two presidential limos and because the windows weren’t tinted I could see someone sitting on the left side of the first limo. It was Trump and he looked pensive. I thought to myself, “If I was sitting across from him right now what advice would I give him about North Korea?” Me: "What is our goal here, Mr. President?" Trump: "Denuclearization." Me: "Wrong!" Mr. President, there are 9 nations with nukes so why do we care if North Korea has them? {puts finger to Trump’s lips} Shhh that was a rhetorical question. We don't want them to have nukes primarily because they aren't capitalist. This fact makes us uncomfortable because it means they don't operate under the same economic incentives as the rest of the world. The rest of the world is driven by money which means even corrupt governments have an interest in protecting property rights, granting some basic human rights, and keeping the peace if they want money to continue to flow into the country. The overarching goal of the United States should therefore be to turn North Korea capitalist. Removing sanctions is a step forward. Let’s let money and products flow into the country because it'll make North Korea more dependent upon on the approval of the outside world. Humans are risk-adverse. We rather NOT lose something than gain something. In other words, it’s more painful to lose $100 than it’s pleasurable to find $100. As money pours into the country it’ll be more difficult for North Korea to turn down the demands of the U.S. government and U.S. business. With that said, Mr. President, I don't see a problem with you walking away from the summit this time because as you know the person most willing to walk away from a negotiation is the one that has the most leverage. But if next time Kim Jung-un still refuses to denuclearize any more than he has already put on the table then we should focus on getting additional concessions elsewhere such as by removing as many trade barriers as possible. You’ll go down as the greatest trade dealmaker in U.S. history! Kim Jung-un wants to westernize but he's just afraid of losing power in the process. As China and Vietnam prove though a nation can be ruled by a so-called "communist" party AND have a capitalist economy. Kim Jung-un and the North Korean people only have to gain by opening up trade with the U.S. Once more of his people get to enjoy some of the same comforts Kim Jung-un gets to enjoy in the privacy of his palace then their love ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcTp1UD1yq0
