Dear America: The cash payments aren't coming.
For those that claim Mitch is going to ride in and save the day. His proposal is a one time tax credit. npr.org/2020/03/19/818…
THIS IS THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE HEADLINE I HAVE EVER SEEN. The interviewee specifically states its not a cash payment. It's a graduated tax credit. npr.org/2020/03/19/818…

A QUICK ROSIE CONSITUTIONAL LAW to break up the days of dread.
In the depth of the Great Depression, our forebears got their minds together and passed the 20th Amendment to the US Constitution.
The 20th is a beautifully clear piece of writing. "The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January."

One of the takeaways of this key CV study is that temporary contact - like voting - is not nearly as important in the spread as extended contact (families in houses; patrons in bars). imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial…
It also highlights that many who need medical care will need ICU care.
Without radical social distancing, the US is looking at 2.2 Million deaths and shit hitting the fan mid April.

I want to throw out an idea of how to encourage "labor hoarding" by employers -- maintaining payrolls even with decreased demand -- in the face of what I fear will be a serious recession. Others have begun to talk about this, including @arindube , @SHamiltonian & @econjared
I preface this by saying that this proposal is not intended to be a substitute for OTHER proposals to encourage more sick leave, help state/local governtment budgets, or shoring up UI, as has been proposed by my colleagues Chris O'Leary & Steve Wandner. upjohn.org/research-highl…
Nor is it necessarily a substitute for proposals to encourage more work-sharing, as my colleague Sue Houseman & Katherine Abraham have proposed in past, & which makes sense now. hamiltonproject.org/papers/encoura…

White House trying to walk back misinformation from the president of the United States on how close we are to getting a #COVID19 #coronavirus vaccine. cnbc.com/2020/02/25/whi…
Contrary to Trump's confusing claim about being "very close" to a #COVID19 #coronavirus vaccine, the most optimistic scenarios suggest a year and a half. Republican Senator Roy Blunt: "[W]e will not have a vaccine in the next 12 or 18 months."

Chinese medical workers got a letter published in the medical journal The Lancet asking for international help in dealing with the #COVID19 #coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. The Chinese online censors responded in the usual fashion.

Using an #America-centric lens to criticize #Turkey for making national security judgements based on a #Turkey-centric lens is analytically dubious.

Whether we like it or not, #Turkey has fought a 40-year #PKK insurgency & sees the #PKK as its No.1 national security threat.
#pt: And FWIW, using Aldar Khalil as the sole source to claim that the #PYD-#PKK relationship is solely defined by "intellectual lineage" & 'sympathy with one another's political goals' is analytically disingenuous.

Perhaps instead read the #PYD itself:

#pt: If the #PYD's very own website (deleted - but archived - after teaming up with the U.S. military in 2014) wasn't enough, take the public assessments of U.S. government's dedicated National CounterTerrorism Center (part of the Intelligence Community):

Restarting:

When you think Trump has no ideology, remember this:

Alexander Nix from SCL / Cambridge Analytica:

The candidate is always a puppet. Always.
Bannon: Trump is a blunt instrument....

Jaeyong Spin-Off AU✨

Despite of how Jung Jaehyun has prepared himself in meeting his husband, Lee Taeyong, again all these years since latter's disappearance, he was rendered speechless, frozen in his spot as he saw the empty eyes that were once full of life gazing back at him.
NOTE: Spin-off of this Nomin AU

I know that I told you guys I'm going to write Jaeyong NSFW first, but I feel terribly sad at the moment. I think my mood suits this so...

-Don't reply
NOTE: Another thing, the "...since latter's disappearance..." of this AU's blurb was supposed to be "...EVER since THE latter's disappearance..." but because of character limit, your boy had to delete some words.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
