Debatable. Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lexus_and_the_Olive_Tree. If you know Friedman at all you already know his message. He makes for an interesting read.

I have not had the chance to read Friedman. I will read this when Im not in Panther mode and thanks for information.

I'll admit that I have no idea how to moderate idiocy and ridiculous whataboutism that has nothing to do with the current crisis we face.

Just go back and give a little vacation to anyone who argued one way or the other.

No problem with that, I love Wal-mart. Saves the average American family around $3,500 per year.

I like this model. Let's hope the folks at the University of Washington are right.

The good news is that they're predicting that it's basically over by June. The bad news is that they're still predicting over 80k dead Americans.

I assure you, 6 million Americans would trade the cookouts for a paycheck right now.

Holy poo. If your through either of these two and you’ve been home. Get you that check. Edit: Just talked to someone that goes through Allstate and the email says they are paying everyone back 15% to everyone but don’t quote me.

“Two insurers -- Allstate and American Family Insurance -- announced Monday they will give back about $800 million to their auto insurance customers because people are driving far less during the coronavirus crisis.

Allstate (ALL) said it will refund about 15% of premiums paid by its customers in April and May, which comes to a total of about $600 million.

"Given an unprecedented decline in driving, customers will receive a Shelter-in-Place Payback," said Allstate CEO Tom Wilson "This is fair because less driving means fewer accidents."”

Can you imagine what our Health care premiums will be next year? I carry myself, ex wife, and kids. I currently pay 1450 a month, I can’t wait to see how much increase the insurance companies will levy my way.

Holy poo, an insurance company doing something decent? Honestly never thought I'd see the day. What a pleasant surprise.

I agree, I think it is fantastic that an insurance company is giving back period. Kudos to them!
